Can Homemade Dog Food Add Years to Your Dog's Life?
Choice cuts of beef, juicy chunks of chicken, whole grains
and fresh vegetables, all covered in thick creamy gravy,
sounds appetizing does it not? What about rotten meat,
mouldy grains, pieces of plastic, bones, and euthanatized
pets all in a blood and pus sauce, does that sound like
something anyone should eat? Of course not!

For millions of pets this is exactly what their masters
feed them and they have no choice but to eat it. We are
making our pets eat filth that it's making them sick, and
often times killing them and we don't even know it.

We blindly trust the slick advertising of the pet food
companies and believe that the government wouldn't allow
for our dead pets to later be served to our new pets. We
are trusting them with our pet's lives and they are lying
to us.

What do we do? How do we protect man's best friend? How
many years do you want to have your beloved dog, 3 years,
5years or 15 years? If you want your dog to have a long
healthy life than the answer is simple we must give them
quality homemade dog food, the kind of food they deserve.
We can add years to their lives by giving them good
wholesome food.

You may be thinking that I am exaggerating things to scare
you. I'm not, there's no need to. The colorful bags on
the store shelves that picture quality food and happy pets
are a ploy. As consumers it is easy for us to believe what
we are told, but as the old saying goes don't judge a book
by it's cover, don't judge a product by it's label.

Haven't you ever wondered why your hand is shiny and
covered in a greasy substance after you put your hand in a
bag of dog food? Well I will tell you why. Dog food
companies cover their product in grease to make it more
palatable to your pet.

Most dogs are too smart to eat the garbage used to make
their food, so they cover it to mask what it truly is. Oh,
this grease they use is restaurant grease, the kind that
sits in big vats in the back of restaurants for weeks if
not months. Can you imagine what type of bacteria is in
those vats? You know what too much grease in a diet does
to a human? It is the same for dogs, it eventually kills
them.

To protect your dog you need to be feeding it wholesome
nourishing food. After all, that's what you want for
yourself, so why should you treat your dog any different?
Making home cooked dog food for your pet can be quick and
easy and will prolong your dog's life.

If you're still not convinced then let me continue. I'm
sure you've driven down the road and seen the carcass of an
animal that was hit by a car. Do you remember what that
looked like? Would you ever consider stopping to pick up
that rotting road kill to bring home and feed your Fido?
Well when you buy a bag of commercial dog food from your
local market that is exactly what you are doing.

Unbelievable, but it is true. In addition to the rotten
beef, bits and pieces of chicken bones and beaks, and dead
pet parts you are also feeding your pet road kill. You can
keep these disgusting things out of your pet and prolong
his life by giving him homemade dog food.

We are poisoning our pets and making them sick by feeding
them this mass produced dog food. Their bodies can't
process all these bacteria and chemicals without it putting
a strain on their systems. They weren't made to digest the
garbage put into the commercial dog food we feed them.
This food is causing them to get numerous types of cancers,
causing their kidneys to fail, and shutting down their
organs.

Breeding healthy dogs

Title: Breeding healthy dogs

Breeding healthy dogs
Innumerous people across the world love to keep dogs as
their pets. They will do everything to keep their dogs in
the best of health. These people also like to breed their
dogs, either to increase their numbers or to make money out
of them. However, most of them do not have a fair idea of
how to breed healthy dogs and land themselves into
problems. Therefore, if you are one of them, and if you
need to know about the ways to breeding healthy dogs, you
must follow some good advice.

One of the foremost things is choosing the right mate for
your dog. While choosing the right mate, you must see
whether it is compatible and possesses good temperament.
Both the male and the female should be healthy and must
have no genetic faults, which may potentially jeopardize
the health of their puppies. Moreover, you must be sure
whether the female dog is healthy, as it will determine her
pregnancy and the process of birth. In this case, you must
support the female dog with healthy supplements and
nutritious food to ensure healthy birth. Better health will
enable them to stay healthy during pregnancy as well.

You must determine the breeding history of both the female
and male dogs. A good breeding record is very essential for
successful breeding. Prepare the record of the medical
history for your female dog, when it is going into heat,
changing its behavior or different medical issues. There
are various kinds of dogs, and so it is essential to have
the knowledge of the kind of spices that you have. If you
find that your dog is the rarest of its type, you may find
difficult in getting a compatible dog for matting. However,
in this regard, if you want to mate with different species,
be assured about the history of the dog, and about its
health and temperament. You must as well know your dog's
family of breeds.

If you can get the information about your dog's family of
breeds, you can easily know the stature of your own dog. In
the case of female dog, there are more complications in
respect to the male dogs, as it is little bit hard task to
find the history of the female dog. However, in this case
you can consult your nearby vet. It has been seen that
failure in conception is mainly due to the female dogs. It
can be due the hormone problem or wrong timing, or some
thing like that. It takes nearly 2 years for the female
dogs to be fully-grown as well as developed. Therefore, do
not consider her for mating before her age. If she is mated
before her full development, she may face problems in
conceiving and it may put your dog into danger.

Before breeding, you must get your bitch or stud checked to
make sure whether s/he is free from brucellosis. This
disease can cause sterility in both the sexes and it can
further cause the puppies to be aborted just after birth.
Moreover, this germ is occasionally passed through sexual
intercourse among the dogs, and it can infect the whole
kennel.
