What You Need To Know About Natural Recipe Dog Food

Article Title: What You Need To Know About Natural Recipe Dog
Food
Author: Gerri Stone

The various dog food recalls has caused most dog lovers to look
closer at what they have been feeding their much loved pets. The
vets normally recommend that you give your dog a recognized
brand of dog food, and all of their dietary needs will be met.
Most dog food labels say they are formulated by veterinarians,
and contain all the crucial nutrients for health and well being.
We all have discovered this is not true.

The publicity surrounding the pet food recall has let us in on
the dirty little secrets of the dog food industry. It is all
made in the same place, and the difference in price is due to
good marketing. The ingredients are bought in foreign countries,
and there is obviously no quality checks for the imported
ingredients.

The federal regulations about labelling dog food are a
different standard than it is for human food. Pet foods that are
labelled as premium, gourmet, or super premium are not required
to contain any higher quality ingredients, or have any higher
nutritional standards that any other complete product.

Many high-priced dog foods available use the term natural
recipe dog food. The catch here is that the word natural does
not have an official definition. You might think that giving
your dog a product labelled all natural recipe means that you
are feeding your pet less artificial colors, flavors and
preservatives, but this is not the truth. Rather, you are paying
for expensive marketing that misleads you, and could harm the
health of your dog.

So that leaves dog lovers with a big question- what do we feed
our dogs to keep them fit and well? Do we really have to start
cooking for the dog, especially when we don't have time to cook
for the family? The good news is there are great dog food
products available that will keep your pet healthy. And the
other good news is that dogs require the same basic nutrients as
humans- so if you decide to follow all natural dog food recipes,
you will be able to use the same ingredients you have in your
kitchen, without buying expensive or exotic ingredients.
