There are so many different choices available for us today
when it comes to feeding our dogs. More and more people
are looking for a safer, healthier and better nutrition for
their extended "family member."
As we become more and more educated about the commercial
dog food industry a bigger number of consumers are turning
away from the easy choice of grabbing kibble from the
grocery store shelf. Recent recalls causing deaths in many
of our beloved dogs has brought to the forefront how
unhealthy and dangerous these foods really are.
Dog food has gone through several stages starting with the
pre commercial days when dogs were feed whatever we ate.
Table scraps were all that was available. People didn't
worry about dog nutrition, or even consider it as something
that could increase the pet's life.
With the advent of commercial dog kibble, this new
generation of pet owners were told and assured this was the
best way to feed your pet. Table scraps were not good for
your dog (as we all now know), and this new, important
revolutionary way of convenient healthy food was available
at the local grocers. This became and still is to a lot of
consumers the one and only acceptable way to nourish your
dog. We were told and warned the never ever feed people
food to your dog. It was dangerous, fool hardy and
deficient in the proper mix of necessary and essential
daily dietary intake.
With the ease and assurance from the big companies that we
were making the best choice for our dogs we all became
brainwashed into believing everything we were told. That
is until the recently.
After the recalls of toxic and tainted dog foods, more and
more information became available and this was shocking.
An elite few had already started producing highly
nutritious, organic or all natural dog food years before.
They were small, independent companies who put our dog's
health as their priority.
Now our choices for feeding our precious dogs (and cats)
are increasing at a speedy rate. More and more companies
started to manufacture organic dog food, devoid of
chemicals, preservatives, deadly additives, and disgusting
mystery ingredients.
These premium organic dog foods are slowly now becoming the
new, easy and extremely nutritious way to feed our pampered
dogs. They promote and increase the health of our dogs and
are proud of their production processes.
One other way of feeding our dogs has now gone back to the
"people food" way of thinking. This is not just feeding
table scraps though. This is a well researched and highly
nutritious way to serve your dog his supper. That is
homemade dog food, using the same foods we eat. Mixed with
the proper ingredients and vitamins, this is the best way
to know exactly what your dog eats. There are so many
recipes available today, and books written by specialists
in pet nutrition and veterinarians, that making homemade
dog food is another excellent choice for your pet.
Educating yourself for the sake of your pet is a small way
to pay back all the unconditional love they give you, and
in the end you will ultimately have your dog around for
many extra years when they receive a proper nutritious and
healthier diet
