A Look At Natural Dog Food

Most dog lovers remember that moment when it happened, and a cute little canine locked eyes with them, and the next thing they knew there was a bond that would last forever. That trusted companion became dependent on the person who adopted them, and all natural dog food can be the best way to help maintain a long and lasting friendship. Let's take a quick look at some factors which might be surprising as to what happens when feeding the usual off the shelf pet food.

Seeing a dog eating grass, a person might think that dogs like vegetables, too. This is not necessarily true. Being related to wolves, coyotes and other canines, dogs are protein eaters, and rarely consume any type of vegetation. When they do, it is inside the entrails of game they downed for a meal, and could be a point of controversy as to whether the dog is after the vegetables, or the protein that surrounds them. Some vegetation is not digestible by the canine stomach.

Diseases have been linked to human foods, and the buying public stopped purchasing those items. Certain cancers were associated with chemicals used in human food, and time has shown that these same chemicals caused an increase in tumors and other cancers in animals. Changing to untreated feeds has shown a decrease in these ailments.

Dog trainers and professional breeders were faced with a period of time where hip displacement seemed to be a matter of tight blood lines which were considered a birth defect. When these people started feeding natural dog foods this condition occurred less often.

The usual canine feeds found on store shelves have been found to cause a list of food allergies, including skin rashes, ear infections and itchy paws. An increased amount of mucus is also present, and canines seem to sneeze and cough more often. In many cases, it becomes more difficult to find a commercial brand of nutrient that the dog will continue to eat.

People may have experienced a situation where a doggie wets the floor when someone reaches out to pet it. This bladder incontinence may not be at all related to the personality of the dog, or it giving into a submissive behavior. Bowel and bladder incontinence have been directly linked to the chemicals found in pet foods.

Raw foods typically do not have harmful preservatives which are one of the most common reasons canines experience bad side effects of commercial dog foods. Other chemicals are not used, and the overall health of the animal can be greatly improved. If the words used to describe the contents that were used in preparing any food source are too difficult for you to pronounce, changes are these could be the type of ingredients which can endanger the life of your pet.

There can be no other experience in life that can come close to being equal to the bond between a dog and a human. They accept you as you are, and without question. It is up to you to supply them with the best in health care, and dietary needs, and using all natural dog food can be a great place to start.
