Why You Should Feed Your Dog Organic Dog Food

Title: Why You Should Feed Your Dog Organic Dog Food

Organic dog food is the best option if you need to rely on
commercial preparations. Commercial dog foods usually contain
high levels of sodium, preservatives, artificial colors and
other additives that are toxic to your pet. Organic dog food
products provide a guarantee that the product is natural and
does not contain these toxic additions. Furthermore, the
ingredients may be free of pesticides but you would need to
check to make sure.

Some organic dog food products are better than others,
providing high quality ingredients and ensuring that only whole
grains and high quality proteins are used. Manufacturers can
make all sorts of claims about their products, so you will need
to take some time to research which organic dog food products
are best. Once you have found a few products that look genuine,
try them. Monitor your dog's health carefully. If he has more
energy and looks better after a couple of weeks using a
particular organic dog food brand, that is a good indication
that the product is good.

However, canned organic dog food products are still processed
and dry organic dog food is even more so. It is important for
your dog's health to incorporate some raw food and healthy
scraps in his diet as well. Sardines are good for providing
essential fatty acids and your dog will probably enjoy them. You
may also wish to consider a nutritional supplement for your dog
to ensure he is getting adequate nutrition.

Here are three good reasons to use organic dog food:

1. Non Toxic. Good organic dog food products are free of
harmful chemicals that can lower your dog's immunity and
compromise his health. Liver and kidney failure can result if
your pet's system is exposed to too many toxic chemicals,
particularly when they also are not obtaining adequate
nutrition. Just by avoiding harmful additives and exposure to
poisonous chemicals, you're dog will be much better off. By also
feeding him a highly nutritious, natural product, you are making
it possible for him to live a long and healthy life.

2. Nutritionally Sound. A genuine organic dog food product will
not only be as natural as possible and organic, it will contain
high quality ingredients that offer your dog sound nutrition.
The internet is a great place to source quality organic dog food
products. Read the information carefully. Do they use whole
grains? Do they guarantee high quality protein? Do they offer
any guarantees to consumers? The best products are likely to be
made by small manufacturers whose business is serving the best
needs of your pet.

3. Yyour Dog Will Be Happier. At the end of the day, don't we
all want our pets to have happy lives? If your dog eats a
healthy diet, he will have more energy and naturally be more
active. This is the cycle leading to good health. If your dog is
suffering from any degenerative illness that is diet related, it
is possible to reverse it with a healthy, balanced diet and
exercise.

Genuine organic dog foods can make all the difference to your
dog's health and well being. Ultimately, if they can be combined
with raw food and added home made meals, your dog will probably
be the happiest dog on the block!
