How To Find Organic Food For Your Pet Dog

 

Organic dog food is all natural and is free of preservatives, pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics. Since this type of organic food is made to adhere to a certain level of standard, beginning with the meat and vegetables that go into the food, they are often healthier for your pet to consume. This kind of food is high in nutritional value and doesn't contain bulk fillers which usually contribute to weight gain in dogs. Hence, the dog consumes only that much amount of food which is required to maintain healthy energy levels and proper growth.

Another great advantage of organic food is that your pet will have a lot more energy. It is heart-breaking to see dogs suffering from obesity, diabetes, organ failure and even hip dysplasia. This food does not turn into fat, and it gives the dog all the energy to play, run and enjoy life. The bulk fillers in non-organic food do not allow the dog to feel satiated; therefore it will eat more to eliminate hunger. With organic dog food, the animal will eat smaller but more nutritional portions.

Deciding which type of food is right for your dog is not easy. There are many different kinds of dog food available on the market today, and ingredients and terminology can get confusing. Some dog lovers like to start out with a quality dog food in a kibble variety. There are puppy formulas as well as those for large breeds and older dogs. One can also find weight control foods and certain kinds of "wellness dog food" designed for dogs with allergies or other health issues.
Some people prefer to feed their dogs canned food, or they like to mix it in with kibble. This can be a good choice as well as most pets seem to really like the taste. There are many food brands that offer both dry and canned food, so the selection is plentiful. Quality dog food can be found in either form.

So you go in the store or online and find organic food. Now most dog food companies have gone organic because they really do care about the health of your pet. There are also unscrupulous companies out there that just want to make a quick buck. By that I mean you can provide organic ingredients, but that doesn't guarantee they are of any nutritional value to your dog. Organic only applies to how it was grown.

Look at the ingredients label. The best organic food will not have animal by-products. It will not have too much grain and grain by-products. A nutritious, organic food will have similar type ingredients to super-premium dog foods. The only difference between them is whether the ingredients are organic or not.

Finally, organic dog food is more nutritional and easy to digest in comparison to non organic or processed dog foods. Hence, all these factors enable your pet to live a long, happy and healthy life.
