Increase Your Dog's Life Span

Title: Increase Your Dog's Life Span

Increase Your Dog's Life Span
Making natural home made dog food at first thought may seem
like a lot of work in today's stressed out busy world. In
actuality it is easy to do once you get into the routine.
You can make your dogs home made meal at the same time as
you are preparing your own dinner, or even make it in
batches and keep it portioned and store it in the freezer.

Switching to fresh natural home made dog food for you best
friend will increase his/her life span up to 8 years.
Fresh organic ingredients win every time when compared to
artificially flavored, preservative filled, and sometimes
worse, commercial dog food.

When I think of what the commercial dog food industry
considers edible food for my pets it disgusts me. When you
find out the facts of what is really in commercial dog food
a true animal lover will be shocked.

There are so many chemicals that are permitted in dry pet
food that are straight out toxic. One of these is the
chemical ethoxyquin (EQ), which is added at the rendering
plant. This way it does not have to be listed on the
ingredients on the food label. EQ is one the most powerful
preservatives, and also one of the most toxic. Side
effects of factory workers exposed to it caused symptoms
similar to Agent Orange. Who in their right mind would
think this is okay for our pets to ingest?

This is only one of many ingredients that are unfit that
our pets get when eating their kibble. Yuck for sure.
That is why we should consider feeding them home made human
grade food.

This is why making all natural, home made dog food seems
the safer, better alternative. You know exactly what
fresh, healthy ingredients are put in the food because it
is the same food you buy for yourself.

Given in the correct proportion, this promotes the
healthiest, happiest pets and peace of mind for us, the
owners. Any pet lover knows of the adoring looks given by
your dog. They don't care what you feed them, because they
trust us. Knowingly giving them food that causes
illnesses, poor health and early death is something I just
won't do. I return the favor of unconditional love by
making the right choice for them. That way they will be
around much longer.

Never give the dogs raw garlic or onions, as this could be
potentially fatal. Also note that chocolate, raisins and
grapes are dangerous to feed to your dog.
