Nutrition Tips

June 24, 2009

Dog’s don’t know how to cook, so a RAW diet is best, giving your dog the important nutrition they require. Fresh chicken parts, meaty bones or mince meat along with veggies. A high quality dry kibble or canned food can be added to stretch those dollars.

To find a great dog food, visit one of the smaller pet shops or specialty food shops are the best. These shops usually carry a wide range of the more healthier dog food like Raw, Natural, Holistic and Organic. The shop owner’s are full of information and are happy to share their knowledge with pet owners.

When buying dog food, keep in mind, a dog needs to eat more poor quality food than higher quality food to maintain caloric and nutritional needs. Also the better quality of food that goes in, the less that will come out.

There are some ingredients on a label you want to avoid. Corn, soy, bone-meal, (anything) by-products, chemical preservatives and wheat.

A really good food will have meat as it’s first ingredient.

If your in one of the better speciality shops, not a grocery store. this is what a dog food label should look like. In the GUARANTEED ANALYSIS, look for the Protein content to be at least 30 percent, the Fat to be at least 18 percent, preservatives to be Vitamin E and/or C and look for Omega Fatty Acid to be present. Just be aware, big dog food companies can make the label look like this, but have ingredients that are not good for your pet.
I find the dogs here in Australia eat really good! Lots of RAW food available, even in grocery stores. All my clients have their dogs on at least a half RAW diet.
I like this link showing in detail how to rate your dog’s food, plus it’s already done the homework for you and rated other foods. http://www.elkcountryanimalshelter.org/GradeDOG%20FOOD.html
