Are You Feeding High Quality, Nutritious Dog Food? If Not, You May Be Killing Your Beloved Pet

High quality, nutritious dog food is the key to your dog's long term good health. You may be aware of this. Most food that we buy to feed our dogs is extremely low in nutritional value. If you are buying your dog's food in a grocery store or a pet supermarket, you may be slowly killing your dog.

Think about human nutrition. If we feed ourselves unhealthy food over a period of years, our bodies will begin to deteriorate. We suffer from a higher incidence of degenerative diseases.

The same thing is true for our dogs. An unhealthy diet (one lacking in good nutrition) results in gradual deterioration and increased disease in our beloved companions.

Why do you think that so many of our dogs are dying from kidney failure, cancer, heart failure, and other degenerative diseases? These diseases in our pets were almost non-existent before the advent of commercial dog food.

You are probably like me. I want my dog to live a long, happy, and healthy life. He gives me unconditional love. He is completely dependent on me. I owe him the very best nutrition.

You can see a picture of my dog, Romeo at the bottom of the page. Romeo is the one with the beautiful hair. I'm the one who doesn't have much. Romeo is a 6 year-old mutt. He has been fed high quality, nutritious dog food for 5 years now. He is the healthiest, sweetest, happiest dog we have ever owned.

Even when a company puts out a dog food product that is somewhat nutritious, it is probably 6-18 months old if it is sold in a grocery store or pet supermarket.

If you are told by a pet product store owner or employee that the food is fresh, they are probably being dishonest or don't know what they are talking about.

A pet supermarket may or may not sell its dog food fairly soon after it is received. But they don't know how long it has remained in a warehouse before shipment to the retailer. As it ages, the food and its nutritional content deteriorate because of mold, bacteria, heat, and other reasons.

Another major factor in determining a good dog food is the cooking method. It is best that the food is cooked at a low temperature and for a short period of time. If you find a food that that claims it is high in nutrition but is cooked at a high temperature or for a long period of time, most of the nutrition has been destroyed.

You possibly don't believe me when I say that, "you may be slowly killing your dog." I encourage you to read the article, "What's Really in Pet Food" which has been prepared by the Animal Protection Institute. You will find some "eye opening" information. You can read this important article by clicking here.

As the article states, most of the food we provide our dogs is "unfit for human consumption."

This includes both meat and grains. Is that what we want to feed our dogs - food that is unfit for human consumption?

You can't properly evaluate the quality of a dog food by simply reading an ingredient label. The label may say it is a "premium" or "top quality" food, but it may be far from that.

So here is what I recommend in finding a good dog food:

1. The food should contain a high percentage of meat. Completely disregard any product that includes by-products.

Don't be concerned if you see chicken "meal" or fish "meal" as one of the ingredients. Chicken meal and fish meal are great ingredients as long as they comes from high quality chicken or fish.

For example, water is removed from the chicken to form chicken meal. So if you see "chicken meal" as the first item on the ingredient label, you know that there is a lot of chicken in the product. If "chicken" is listed as one of the top ingredients, it may be much lower on the list of ingredients when the water is removed. The manufacturer may be trying to mislead the consumer to think that chicken is one of the top ingredients.

2. Make sure that the food is very fresh. I have found that the best and freshest dog food comes from an online source that delivers a very fresh, nutritious food to your doorstep.

3. Check out the cooking methods. The food should not be cooked at a high temperature or for a long period of time.

4. The food should contain no corn, no wheat, no dairy, no artificial colors, no artificial preservatives, no steroids, and no hormones.

Feeding your dog high quality, nutritious dog food will enable your pet to have a healthy, happy, and longer life. I personally feel that I owe that much to my little guy.

Natural Pet Products - The Best Way to Treat Your Beloved Pets

I've heard it over and over, "I would love to feed my pet healthier, but not at that price!" or "My cat really enjoys the food, but I'm gonna be broke in no time flat!" or even "I love my dogs, but my husband would go over the top if he discovered they are eating healthier than us!"

Exactly what the majority of pet owners fail to realize is that by giving an all natural & holistic food for their cat or dog, they'll really be saving dollars in the long run. How, you ask, at $1.15 a pound? To begin with, we feed much less food (20% to 40% much less) because the food is all natural with no fillers as well as by-products. Take a moment to review the cost comparison chart between HealthyPetNet's Life's Abundance, Flint River Ranch and a number of other famous industrial pet foods by clicking here. Next, there are enormous savings to be made by not having those vet visits and harmful medications to fix your pet's allergies (the #1 reason pets are spotted inside the vet's clinic) and immune disorders (which can lead to chronic and serious disorders that require careful medication. Allergy symptoms include, but are not restricted to, itchy skin and bodily breakouts, swollen ears, abnormal licking of the front feet, digestive problems (gurgling, gas plus a tendency toward diarrhea), swelling of the toes as well as an irritated hind end (anus, sex organs) with licking plus dragging of the rear end on the floors.

Serving all natural will greatly reduce the mental and physical speed of premature aging in our pets, associated with a lifetime of poor nutrition. A number of degenerative ailments, such as cancer, kidney disease, heart disease, arthritis, skin problems, bowel irregularity (like Pancreatitis), and even diabetic issues have been found to either be hurried or slowed down greatly by what is eaten. Please keep in mind that by also feeding a properly put-together home-made or raw diet will provide these same benefits, and much more!

Scientists have demonstrated that as pets and humans feed on unsuitable food, or unsuitable portions of food, they age or degenerate a lot more quickly, and as they do, they become much more prone to disease...which may result in very high, and perhaps unmanageable, veterinary bills. Have you been wondering yet, "Why has not my veterinarian suggested a diet change yet?" Yes, I would ask that from them too. Unfortunately most veterinarians get little training in vet school on canine and feline nutrition, other than what the industrial pet food company representatives tell them! And believe it or not, many veterinarians make a lot of money by selling exactly the same pet foods they were taught about, by these company reps, in veterinarian college. Since serving an all-natural diet to my Boxers for 4 years, my vet has only seen them for scheduled vaccines and spays/ neuter. In fact, I am one of the blessed ones who has got an open-minded veterinarian, who refers many of his clients to me, who he believes their symptoms are diet-related. I'm very honored he is doing this.

As with us humans, pets are as susceptible of enduring a variety of diseases and illnesses as a result of a damaged and compromised immune system, a number of which are irreversible. Just to list a few, our pets are more susceptible, and more unlikely to combat and resist the following problems/sicknesses by a weakened immune system:

• Parasites (e.g. mange)

• Cancer & leukaemia (with cats)

• Repeated colds or flu

• Persistent microbial infections & viruses

• Fungal disease

• Slow wound recovery

• Repeated injury

• Allergies

• Respiratory inflammations

• Diabetes

• Aging dogs and cats

• Frequent veterinarian visits for trivial ailments

Pet owners are starting to learn that treatment for present conditions for their pets should not be the only way they handle health issues. Preventive care is critical for animals, just as it is for humans. ANIMALS have got emotions, perceptions and personalities exactly like human beings. To look after an animal, it's helpful to observe the animal and learn how to distinguish between normal typical behavior and behavior that is abnormal and out of balance. Pets usually reflect the emotions of the people close to them and the environment in which they live. Emotions like dread, anxiety, worry or depression can lead to disease since they deplete the physical body of its natural vitality, thus reducing the immune system's ability to function correctly. My viewpoint is that just what a pet consumes, (the quality of nutrients, in addition to appropriate supplementation), as well as the purity of his environment, is the foundation of his overall well-being. By staying as close to the ways of nature and getting rid of harsh chemicals from their diet plan and surroundings, we've witnessed remarkable changes take place with the lives of a number of pets, as well as their delighted owners that I have known over time. By feeding all natural foods or perhaps a properly prepared homemade/raw food diet, you are boosting your pet's natural immune defenses, improving its health, boosting its athletic performance, bolstering it's entire nutrition and adding years to its life expectancy.
