Why Choosing Natural Dog Food

A healthy and balanced food high in essential nutrients plays a crucial role in human health and overall well-being, and the same applies to dogs. Dogs who do not obtain all the necessary nutrients from their diet are more susceptible for various health problems often leading to premature death. Fortunately, many of the diseases and illnesses related to poor diet can be prevented or relieved with natural dog food.


Commercial dog food is among the leading causes of numerous dog health problems mostly due to preservatives, flavor enhancers and variety of other artificial substances including pesticides and traces of atriums pentobarbital (used for animal euthanasia) which are found in commercial dog food products. Even if commercial dog food would not contain the mentioned harmful ingredients and "4D Meats" (for "dead, dying, diseased and disabled" animals) it still would not be appropriate for your dog for two reasons. It is made of poor quality grains which are difficult to digest for dogs, while meat typically listed as first ingredient and other ingredients which seem healthy at a first glance are over-processed and stripped of nutritional value.


People who started eating more healthy and balanced diet have noticed they have less health problems, catch fewer colds and recover faster from illnesses, and similar benefits also reported by dog owners who feed their dogs with natural dog food. Natural dog food manufacturers have higher standards concerning nutritional value and balance, and quality of ingredients than the commercial dog food brands providing your dog healthier and nutrient rich diet crucial for normal bodily functioning. Natural dog food helps resolve or relieve the existing health problems and prevents occurrence of new diseases and illnesses including allergies, diabetes, cancer and many other ailments making your dog feel miserable and shortening its life.


Many dog owners still feed with commercial dog food due to higher prices of the latter one despite being aware of potential hazards of the commercial dog food. They fail to understand that they actually spend more money in long term than they would if purchasing more expensive (although it is not that expensive as many people think) but much healthier natural dog food. Dogs fed with natural dog food are healthier than dogs that eat commercial dog food which means they need a lot less visits at a vet and a lot less medications which are not inexpensive. Thus dog owners who switch to natural dog food actually save money in long term.


Many pet owners have doubts whether natural dog food is truly natural. The truth is, one can be never 100% sure and it is always important to be very careful when choosing food for yourself or your dog. After all, some companies are prepared to jeopardize even human health to increase their profit. Despite that it is always better to choose natural or organic food whether it is intended for humans or animals than the one you know is contaminated.
