Natural dog food will almost certainly help to prolong your four legged friends lifespan. Why is this? A lot of the proccessed dog food out there today is made from grain based food that is commercially proccessed and contains a lot of harmful chemicals and, who knows what other nasty ingredients, that are foreign to a dogs digestive system.

This could be one of the main reasons for the prevalance of cancer in dogs. In the past dogs were more likely to die of old age, cancer was a fairly rare occurance, but now many dogs prone to develop various forms of cancer, which is not only bad news for your pooch, but is also very expensive for you as well. It could well mean lots more trips to visit the vet and who needs all that extra expense if it can be avoided.

While genetics and poor breeding may have some bearing on a dogs chances of contracting some form of cancer, poorly manufactured food is probably one of the main reasons. So one of the simplest things you can do to reduce the chances of your dog falling foul of this devastating disease is to give him a good healthy diet of natural food. The only sure fire way to be absolutely sure that you know what you are feeding your pooch is to get a recipe book and start making your own dog food. There are some really good recipe books out there that show you how to easily produce really healthy, and tasty, dog food, dog busciuts and snacks. All it takes is a little time and effort on your part.

Just remember that todays dogs originated from the wild where they had to hunt for their food and that food certainly didn't contain all the nasties that todays proccessed foods contain. And remember back a few years when there was all the furore about pet food manufactured in China being bulked up with Melamine, a chemical used in the manufacture of wallboard products. That episode caused some dogs to become very ill with kidney failure and a host of other health problems. So, with your pets health and well being at stake you must always remain extra vigilant and make sure that his food is of the highest standard possible.

All of these unnatural additives, along with the massve ammounts of preservatives used to give dog food a long shelf life, are certainly not good for a dogs health and wellbeing in my humble opinion.

By giving your dog a good natural varied diet without all those chemicals and additives will definitely help in keeping those nasty diseases at bay.

Feeding your pooch homemade dog food containing lots of fesh ingredients, including vegitables and fresh meat, along with a regular fitness regime will help keep him fighting fit and jumping out of his skin, thus making him much less likely to fall foul of any unwanted illness.
