Dogs Health Depends On Right Dog Food

Dogs Health Depends On Right Dog Food


"Back in the day"...when dogs lived in the wild instead of our livingroom, they survived on prey that they hunted. They chewed on bones and in the process kept their teeth clean. They now wait (or demand) that we humans feed them. They feast on ready to eat packaged foods, and in some cases this may be harming your pet.


Some symptoms of less than natural diets include: bad breath, itchy skin, dull dry coats, and intestinal gas. Commercial pet food does not always provide all of the nutrients that some dogs need to be healthy at different times in their lives. This food also contains things that your pet doesn't need, such as chemical additives and preservatives. A preservative that is commonly found is propylene glycol. This is used to keep moist pet foods fresh, but it has been linked to anemia and bloat.


One of the single most important things you can do for your pet's health is to feed a more natural diet. I have seen natural diets improve allergies, arthritis, diabetes, chronic vomiting and diarrhea. If you are to use a commercial food, check for quality. Do your research, and read the labels! Brand names do not necessarily mean you are getting the best product for your dog.


Remember, Ingredients are listed in descending order. The first ingredient should be an animal based protein. The entire protein should be listed first. and avoid foods that list by-products.


Look for natural preservatives like Vitamin C( ascorbic acid) Vitamin E and mixed tocopherols. Also avoid foods with artificial flavor enhancers, such as phosphoric acid. So there you have it, I did half your research for you and named a few things to look out for.
