Article Title: Taking Stock Of The Quality Of Dog Food Given To
Your Dog
Author: John Mailer
Most dog owners whose pets are household family members
consider it an inconvenience to evaluate dog food. Most rely on
the usual dog biscuit recipe. They usually feed only one or two
dogs, never weigh them, and rarely keep any records on them at
all. Many base their selection of a dog food solely on how well
their dog eats it, not on dog nutrition. Moreover, the shopper
for the dog food is usually the same individual who shops for
the rest of the family's food; the housewife. From the early
morning news to the final night-time talk show, the housewife is
bombarded with TV commercials, newspaper ads, and magazine ads
who are selling the virtues of one brand of dog food over
another. Some have their own homemade dog biscuit recipe such as
just mixing dog biscuits with leftovers from the family meal.
Food chosen for your dog should always be made by proper
research and never by some TV commercial. Stop and consider for
a moment that TV commercials and magazine ads are designed to
sell you their dog food. So why are they highlight the food's
packaging and other promotions. After all, your dog can't read
and doesn't understand a word the ad man pitches. Just remember
your dog does have to eat the dogfood you buy and feed it.
Simply because you like your food with gravy is no reason to
believe that your dog does. Just because some people say all
your dog needs is meat won't stop your dog from dying from the
calcium deficiency produced when it is fed an all-meat diet.
You may prefer that hickory smoked flavor, but your dog prefers
the essence of rotten rabbit as his favourite dog treat recipe.
And, if you toss in a little extra human gravy to make sure
your dog gobbles up his food without pausing for a breath,
remember that how fast your dog eats a food has little to do
with the nutritional value of that food. The mere fact that
your dog eats a food every time it is fed is no indication
whatever that the food is good for your dog. Most dogs love the
all-animal-tissue foods, but an exclusive dog food diet of
nothing but meat will prove fatal.
While dogs kept as pets may fall into any number of categories,
only three are important where feeding is concerned. These
three categories are related to where the dog lives: exclusively
outdoors, outdoors/indoors, or exclusively indoors. There are
naturally some areas of overlap, but these three categories are
generally easy enough to separate. Most dog owners can place
their dogs into the correct category without too much difficulty
when it comes to the starting point of establishing what sort of
dog food should make up his diet.
