Dog Food Fundamentals

Article Title: Dog Food Fundamentals
Author: Dr. Mayra Alfonso

All dog owners recognize that most dogs enjoy to eat, but
oftentimes they come across themselves attempting to puzzle out
which dog food to purchase. It has been said for the lengthiest
time that dogs are our dearest best friends, but the truth
presently is that dogs have moved up from being in the best
friend category to the family member category. Since dogs are
another member of our family we prefer to render our darlings
the finest care and that likewise includes the best dog food.

Numerous dogs over time grow sick of consuming the same food,
and they become fussy. The pet food that one day they enjoyed to
eat, they don't even desire to flavor presently. It's natural
for dog owners to look for dog food choices once their dogs do
not want to eat their regular food. This is when problem can
start out. This is when the dog owners may choose to begin
feeding their pet's table food, and by doing so they could
compromise their dog's nutrition.

When a dog owner is changing their dog's dietary habits they're
vulnerable to giving their dogs additional treats and bites.
Practicing this could cause the dog to get fat. Additionally, if
the dog owner doesn't over compensate by feeding his dog these
goodies or dog snacks, the dog will be pushed to go for what is
given to him at mealtimes. It does not really matter if you want
to give him raw dog food, premium dog food or gourmet dog food,
what matters is to avoid giving your dog any snacks or treats
when your dog isn't eating. If you do so, this will just
promotes his fussy eating and will perpetuate the fussiness.

Feeding the dog the best food will guarantee that he stays
happy , fit and healthy, and besides it helps keep the dog's
coat lustrous. Amid the ingredients in almost 99% of dog foods
are salt, corn, sugar, phosphates, colorings and artificial
flavors.

There's nothing wrong by giving your pet homemade dog food,
(this is the type of food prepared for animal pets at home) or
holistic dog food (this is natural dog food) merely the dog
owner has to be careful to feed the dog on food that will render
him with enough nutrition. Numerous dog owners have even decided
to feed their dogs' vegetarian dog food or even organic dog
food. Feeding your dog with vegetarian dog food is yet harder
for many as cooking vegetarian food for your dog could take a
long time.

As your dog with home cooked food, the dog owner may want to
include rice, corn, oatmeal or wheat. All these are good
carbohydrates sources.

An alternative that dog owners could consider is to sum up the
home made dog food to a medium quality dog food. If you choose
to go this path, you might need to add some nutritional
supplementation or vitamins. In that way you will be able to
assure good nutrition for your dog at altogether.

Make sure that you scan the labels of the dog food prior to you
buying it. It is best that the food contains as primary
constituent beef, turkey, or chicken. Attempt to ward off
vegetal protein as the principal component for the dog food.
Vegetable protein, which includes wheat shorts and middling's,
soybean meal, peanut meal, peanut shells (same as cellulose),
ground yellow corn and rice husks, is the pillar of dry dog
foods.
