All About Dog Nutrition For A Happier Companion

By Dorothy Watson


Pet food has been in the news quite a bit in the last few years. Unfortunately, much of that news is extremely sad and shocking. The fact is, the majority of pet owners couldn't believe what they heard, and that they contributed to their pets poor health in feeding them unhealthy food. Therefore, it is essential to learn all about dog nutrition to ensure this ends, because after all, they are an important part of the family.

In fact, many people see them as family members. It is these little guys that greet their loved ones at the door each and every time. They are the most loving and faithful creatures who only want to show their love to their owners. These four-legged family members really do deserve the best when it comes to food.

The trusted companies that prepare dog food sort of betrayed consumers and their animals. They put inside questionable ingredients, but sometimes are considered construction materials and not actual food ingredients. Without the proper supervision, when these foods are manufactured overseas, anything can go wrong. So, consumers need to do the right thing to ensure their pets, who don't have a voice and can't choose otherwise, get healthy food that's nutritious.

It's all about doing the right thing, beginning with learning how to read a nutrition label on every container or bag of food. Then, research the ingredients from beginning to end. Don't stop there, and instead continue to understand the type of reputation the company has. This is easy to do with the Internet.

Consider that the majority of ingredients that go into the cheaper dog foods are not nutritious and don't respond to the needs of any member of the canine family. If one would compare such food to human food that is served at popular chain restaurants, there wouldn't be much difference. So, imagine what happens to a dog's health when he is consuming two or three such meals each day for his entire life. Reports do exist so don't neglect the information.

Documentaries have shown clearly what happens to people who eat such food daily. In one documentary, the actor gained over 60 pounds in just a month or so, and his health suffered from it. Well that's exactly what can happen to dogs who eat cheap food.

The cheaper food has many inferior ingredients as well as those that dogs don't need, like fat and sugar. Look at canine you in the wild and consider what they're supposed to eat naturally, which can't compare to what comes out of those packages. Instead, with this type of consumption, they gain weight and the sugar will contribute to a shortening of their lifespan.

Nutritious dog food is naturally more expensive, but well worth it in the end. Those who love their dogs, which are most people, will, once they understand the difference, switch to something better. It's the least they can do considering how much loyalty, companionship, and often protection their four-legged family members provide them with. In giving them the nutrients they need, mixed in with plenty of love and exercise, people will be giving their dogs a chance to live longer and healthier lives.
