Selecting The Best Dry Dog Food For A Healthy Pet
Those of us who are dog owners were quite alarmed recently by the need for a mass recall of pet food. When something like this occurs, the best advice is probably to contact your vet. Another good idea is to begin a search on the Internet to see what the contents of various products are, to what extent these products are tested, and any other information that helps you choose a brand that is best for your pet.
The ingredients of some brands of dog food may contain some surprises, not all of them good. The pet food industry is self-regulating and not required to specifically identify the make-up of the product beyond providing results of a guaranteed analysis. This together with name and address of the manufacturer the weight of the food and type of pet the product is intended for is about all that is required.
As a dog owner, you want to stay away from inferior products such as wheat, corn, chicken by-products, soy, gluten, and sugar. These products are hard to digest and can cause health problems if used for a long period of time. A Dog Food Analysis-Review of kibble is crucial here because you will know which brands of potential dog food can be eliminated immediately.
Some companies field test their products, especially the premium grades of their product line. If nothing more, the fact that a product has been tested may be taken as a good sign. Still, many companies offer dog food products in different grades so it's best to read the labels before purchasing. You'll want to find how closely the lower grades resemble the company's premium grade.
We've mentioned some ingredients to avoid. What about those ingredients that are desirable? A list of these would include rice or potatoes, turkey or chicken meal, fish or lamb meal, vegetables and vitamins (especially vitamin E) and the Omega fatty acids. A combination of these ingredients should ensure a healthy skin and coat for you pet, a sign of good health.
Besides searching the Internet for comparisons of ingredients you can also search for results of tests and analyses and consumer reviews. This information can be very helpful in assisting you in choosing the best possible product for your pet.
What about organic pet food? Organic food has been popular with humans for years and it's popularity is steadily increasing. Now organic dog food is making an appearance and worth looking into. When next in your pet store or supermarket look for the word \"Natural\" on the box or bag of dog food and then of course read the label.
After the pet food recall, I began making my dog her food from scratch. The dog food recipe I use includes ingredients like strained beef, beef broth, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, unflavored gelatin, cornmeal, and flour. If this is the route you choose, make sure that you know that it is not cheap to make your own dog food and it takes a lot of time. But to me, my best friend is worth it!
