Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm thinking of getting a new dog and I'm not sure what kind of food to buy.<|im_end|>

Congratulations on the new pet. For dog food, consider your dog's age, size, and breed. Look for high-quality protein sources like chicken or salmon, and whole grains like brown rice or oats.<|im_end|>

That sounds good. How can I make sure my dog stays hydrated?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Provide fresh water at all times, and consider adding a water fountain to encourage drinking. You can also add low-sodium chicken broth to their food for extra moisture.<|im_end|>

What about treats? Can I give my dog table scraps?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
It's best to avoid table scraps, as they can be unhealthy and cause allergies. Instead, choose healthy dog treats like carrots, green beans, or training treats specifically formulated for dogs.<|im_end|>
