Learn The Essentials Of Dog Nutrition

By Dorothy Watson


Pet food has been in the news quite a bit in the last few years. Unfortunately, much of that news is extremely sad and shocking. The fact is, the majority of pet owners couldn't believe what they heard, and that they contributed to their pets poor health in feeding them unhealthy food. Therefore, it is essential to learn all about dog nutrition to ensure this ends, because after all, they are an important part of the family.

In fact, many people see them as family members. It is these little guys that greet their loved ones at the door each and every time. They are the most loving and faithful creatures who only want to show their love to their owners. These four-legged family members really do deserve the best when it comes to food.

That said, there are trusted companies out there that betrayed both the animals and consumers who love their pets. Questionable ingredients that aren't even considered food were found in dog food that was manufactured, often overseas. Therefore, as consumers, it's time to step up to the plate and do the right thing for the pets that don't have a voice and can't have a say in the matter.

Doing the right thing means starting off by reading the label on each bag or can of food. From there, it means doing the research on the ingredients, from A to Z. Next, it means reading up on the particular company's reputation, and where other pet owners exchange opinions, views, and vital information.

Cheap dog food doesn't give dogs the nutrition they need because the ingredients are inferior and substandard. To understand it better, it's like people eating at fast food restaurants two or three times a day for the rest of their lives. Consider what would occur to their well-being. All kinds of reports are out there, so the information is available and important to study.

In fact, there are documentaries that show statistics and will demonstrate what happened to at least one person who consumed this type of food on a daily basis. For starters, the actor gained tens of pounds in 30 days, and his health was put at risk. That's just one month, so consider the dangers to dogs who eat cheap food year-round.

The cheaper food has many inferior ingredients as well as those that dogs don't need, like fat and sugar. Look at canine you in the wild and consider what they're supposed to eat naturally, which can't compare to what comes out of those packages. Instead, with this type of consumption, they gain weight and the sugar will contribute to a shortening of their lifespan.

Food for dogs that is nutritious will cost more, but it is worth it, as most would agree. People adopt such pets because they have so much to offer, from protection to companionship, and of course, loyalty. For all these wonderful traits and all they offer, they are worth the extra cost. They may stick around longer, because they'll be healthier, or at least reduce the risk of developing awful diseases due to poor diet. With a little bit of exercise, good food, and a lot of love, these loyal pets can be by your side for more years.
