Dog Food Secrets - What you Need to Know About Commercial Dog Food!
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009
stephen asked:
You really need to think twice before feeding your beloved pets commercial dog food, why?, well apart from the fact that commercial dog foods vary in what ingredients they put into their dog foods, they also vary in the quality of the different dog foods and dog food companies!
Some of the big nasty ingredients that can be put into commercial dog foods are Slaughterhouse Waste, Heavy Metals, Toxic Materials, Pestacides, Junk Fillers, Additives, Herbicides and other dangerous chemicals!
As you can see from the above nasty ingredients your dog is not getting any of the healthy ingredients it should be getting to keep him or her in tip-top condition.
Another crucial point to consider before buying commercial dog food is whether it is the right kind of dog food for your particular dog, dogs just like humans can have allergies to certain dog foods and the secret hidden ingredients inside them, some breeds of dogs are well known for having sensitive stomachs which prevent them from digesting their food properly and so do not get the nutritional benefits from their dog food as they should.
To make sure your dog is having the right food for him it is best to make the dog food yourself so that you know exactly what your dog is eating and what ingredients it is getting, It is not as hard as you might think to prepare your own homemade dog food, you can make a batch up in one go and freeze it so it lasts the whole week!
What you need to do is look into the various healthy dog food recipes and ingredients to make sure you are feeding your dog the right type of food and you are away! You should also notice that your dog looks a lot more healthy and has more energy than before when it was on commercial food, and it will most likely live a lot longer too.

Are You Killing Your Dog With Dog Foods?
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009
Jim McGiveron asked:
Are you killing your dog with dog foods? That is a question that dog owners everywhere should carefully consider. Several different types of dog foods that are sold on a commercial basis have been found to have a devastating effect on the health of these pets. Research has been conducted for many years regarding this very important topic, and the evidence indicates extremely devastating results - the dog food that we purchase for our pets may be doing more harm, than good! Premature death may be experienced by dogs that consume products sold on a commercial basis. In this article, you will be given the information in order to determine are you killing your dog with dog foods?
Commercial dog food that claims to provide animals with nutrition, a healthy coat, and a high level of physical fitness has actually been found to be quite harmful. Diseases and even death may be experienced by the pet that consumes this type of food. Unsuspecting pet owners go out into the market and various stores on a daily basis in order to purchase food for their pets. These individuals will typically see several different types of dog foods on the shelves. Many will claim nutritional balance, while others include advertisements such as those that state that the dog food will be efficient in developing the health of the pet. These pet owners have no idea of the dangerous ingredients and toxins that are used in the processing of the dog food.
There are several chemicals and toxins that are contained in standard dog foods. These are considered to be so potent that they are no longer permitted to be used in foods that are consumed by humans. However, they are approved for our pet dogs - which is very unfortunate. The following medical conditions have been experienced by people who consumed the same toxins, and chemicals that dogs consume on a daily basis if they are fed commercial based dog foods:
? Failure of, or the development of cancer in the kidneys
? Cancer that forms in the bladder of the individual
? Cancers that were located in the spleen and stomach
? The loss of hair ranging from mild to severe
? Gastrointestinal complications such as diarrhea
? Visual problems, such as blindness
? The development of Leukemia
? The dysfunction and failure of the liver, and other major organs in the body
? The weakening of the immunity
? Allergies that can be mild to severe in nature
? Many have given birth to children with birth defects
As you can see, these substances really resulted in many problems when it came to human consumption. The same issue is likely to occur when it comes to pets that consume it. However, dogs are much smaller than people. It can result in a quicker onset of symptoms, and even death!
If you want to ensure the health of your pet, you can bypass all the commercial foods and simply create your own dog food. If you want to learn dog food secrets that can educate you on the health of your pet,and teach you how to create healthy foods.Remember, the health of your pet is depending on this!

Natural Balanced Dog Food
Monday, January 19th, 2009
Eric Taylor asked:
When you shop for natural balanced dog food, what should you look for when choosing the best product for your canine friend?? In general, the best natural dog foods achieve balance through the food ingredients they contain.? However, you need to know what to search for before you?re able to find truly natural and healthy options for your pet.? Most dog foods are marketed as ?nutritionally balanced? or ?nutritionally complete,? indicating that the constituent food ingredients have been supplemented with nutrients at the levels recommended by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), which is essentially a pet food industry regulated entity.?? Although these recommended nutrient levels are based on individual research data collected by the National Research Council (NRC), these data cannot possibly reflect the actual needs of every pet, as even identical twins may exhibit metabolic differences based on environmental factors alone.? How can laboratory-based nutritional studies, or even laboratory-based feeding studies, compare to real life scenarios if even the qualities of the water supplied to the animals differs from lab to lab and home to home?? Moreover, most laboratory studies are conducted with ?purified? diets, which are a far cry from present-day commercial dog foods.?? As well, the quality of nutrients added to attain the AAFCO established levels to allow dog foods to be marketed as ?complete? or ?balanced? are often of such low quality that they may actually pose risks to, rather than support, your dog?s health.? Many of these supplements are manufactured in China, where manufacturers may have low quality assurance and are often subject to little oversight.
A natural balanced dog food is composed of real food ingredients that supply the nutrients that your dog requires to maintain good health?just as nature intended.? Of course, supplementation with nutrients often becomes necessary when low-quality food ingredients are used, as is often the case in most so-called ?balanced dog foods.?? Both non-certified and feed-quality ingredients alike contain low levels of nutrients, as well as a variety of toxic chemicals from agricultural and manufacturing processes.? Not surprisingly, pet food manufacturers balance these ingredients with added nutrients to provide at least some nutrition for your dog.? Moreover, the long shelf lives of most balanced pet foods?designed to accommodate consumer convenience?require the addition of preservatives, which in the best case are ?natural? (albeit often derived from cheap, genetically modified plant materials with high pesticide and other chemical residues).? In general, the bioavailability of all these added nutrients may be a far cry from optimal, as many of the supplemental vitamins and minerals may be not bioavailable.? Bioavailability of added nutrients is especially low in cases where pet foods or their ingredients have been treated with high heat, which can destroy most vitamins and all enzymes, and may denature all amino acids.
A true natural balanced dog food contains ingredients that are rich in the nutrients your dog requires.? High quality, organic, humanely raised animal-derived ingredients and properly grown, certified organic plant material are much richer in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and other nutrients than conventional (and significantly less expensive) ingredients.? Although natural balanced dog foods are necessarily more expensive than most conventional dog foods, they are unquestionably healthier for your dog.
Feeding your dog natural balanced dog foods gives you the unique opportunity to provide real food for your dog and reserve supplementation?with high quality nutritional supplements that are truly healthful and bioavailable?for times when such supplementation is required (i.e., after injury, during pregnancy, or to mitigate the effects of particular breed-associated chronic diseases that may occur in older dogs).? Ideally, natural balanced dog foods are either fresh or frozen, but may also be dehydrated for convenience.? But be careful: not all dehydrated natural balanced dog foods are created equal!? Even dog foods labeled ?natural? and ?balanced? may contain otherwise good quality ingredients that have been subjected to high heat before being mixed with other, lower quality, ingredients and dehydrated.? Given current laws governing the pet food industry, you, as your dog?s true guardian, must do your homework before serving him or her a natural balanced dog food!

Why You Should Feed Your Dog Organic Dog Food
Saturday, January 10th, 2009
Lee Dobbins asked:
Organic dog food is the best option if you need to rely on commercial preparations. Commercial dog foods usually contain high levels of sodium, preservatives, artificial colors and other additives that are toxic to your pet. Organic dog food products provide a guarantee that the product is natural and does not contain these toxic additions. Furthermore, the ingredients may be free of pesticides but you would need to check to make sure.
Some organic dog food products are better than others, providing high quality ingredients and ensuring that only whole grains and high quality proteins are used. Manufacturers can make all sorts of claims about their products, so you will need to take some time to research which organic dog food products are best. Once you have found a few products that look genuine, try them. Monitor your dog’s health carefully. If he has more energy and looks better after a couple of weeks using a particular organic dog food brand, that is a good indication that the product is good.
However, canned organic dog food products are still processed and dry organic dog food is even more so. It is important for your dog’s health to incorporate some raw food and healthy scraps in his diet as well. Sardines are good for providing essential fatty acids and your dog will probably enjoy them. You may also wish to consider a nutritional supplement for your dog to ensure he is getting adequate nutrition.
Here are three good reasons to use organic dog food:
1. Non Toxic. Good organic dog food products are free of harmful chemicals that can lower your dog’s immunity and compromise his health. Liver and kidney failure can result if your pet’s system is exposed to too many toxic chemicals, particularly when they also are not obtaining adequate nutrition. Just by avoiding harmful additives and exposure to poisonous chemicals, you’re dog will be much better off. By also feeding him a highly nutritious, natural product, you are making it possible for him to live a long and healthy life.
2. Nutritionally Sound. A genuine organic dog food product will not only be as natural as possible and organic, it will contain high quality ingredients that offer your dog sound nutrition. The internet is a great place to source quality organic dog food products. Read the information carefully. Do they use whole grains? Do they guarantee high quality protein? Do they offer any guarantees to consumers? The best products are likely to be made by small manufacturers whose business is serving the best needs of your pet.
3. Yyour Dog Will Be Happier. At the end of the day, don’t we all want our pets to have happy lives? If your dog eats a healthy diet, he will have more energy and naturally be more active. This is the cycle leading to good health. If your dog is suffering from any degenerative illness that is diet related, it is possible to reverse it with a healthy, balanced diet and exercise.
Genuine organic dog foods can make all the difference to your dog’s health and well being. Ultimately, if they can be combined with raw food and added home made meals, your dog will probably be the happiest dog on the block!

5 Ways Homemade Healthy Dog Food Can Help Your Dog
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
K. C. Jones asked:
Why should you consider making homemade healthy dog food? For your dog?s health and well-being. We’ve trusted the commercial dog food companies for decades, only to find out they’ve been using 1) substandard ingredients and 2) preservatives that have been linked to liver and kidney damage.
So let’s look at some definitive ways homemade healthy dog food can help your dog:
1) No more deadly toxins!
Most commercial dog food companies use preservatives such as BHA & BHT (known to cause liver and kidney damage) and Ethoxyquin (banned from human use) to keep the fat in the dog food from going rancid — for a longer shelf life. No need for any preservatives with your homemade healthy dog food.
2) No more mystery meat!
Have you ever looked at the ingredient label of dog food? What is “meat meal” or ?chicken by-product?? By-products are the rest of the animal that isn?t fit for human consumption. If the type of animal is not listed, then it could be anything - euthanized dogs & cats, diseased cows/pigs/chickens unfit for human consumption - the disgusting list goes on. The problem with this type of “meat” is that it can contain chemicals and poisons that are not eliminated through the processing. This means your dog will also ingest these chemicals. With homemade healthy dog food you buy the meat that you feed your family and your dog.
3) Improved digestion and absorption of necessary nutrients.
This can be seen by the size of the stool. You’ll see less waste because the body is able to utilize more of the food from your homemade healthy dog food. The commercial dog food has so much filler to add bulk, to make your dog feel full. But it lacks the nutrients necessary for the dog, so it just goes right through them.
4) Improved immune system in your dog.
Your dog’s body has been living in a state of stress. He has not been getting all the nutrients he needs for optimal function. Once he starts getting the necessary nutrients from your homemade healthy dog food, your dog?s immune system will be able to perform better. This means he will be less susceptible to illness and diseases.
5) Decrease of your dog’s “allergy” symptoms.
A lot of your dog’s “allergy” symptoms will start disappearing - itchy skin, gas, diarrhea, smelly stools, bad breath. A study by William Pollak, DMV, with over 500 dogs of 30+ breeds, showed that a change to a healthy diet, within 12 months, almost entirely eliminated the allergy symptoms in over 90% of the dogs. Start feeding your dog homemade healthy dog food now and watch his symptoms disappear.

What is Healthy Dog Food?
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009
Darren Craddock asked:
Believe it or not, most commercial dog food isn’t really healthy for your dog. Most commercially made dog foods contain animal parts that were never meant to be included in food. They also contain a host of preservatives and chemicals that are there to increase the food’s shelf life, not help your dog stay healthy. Keeping your dog fed with healthy dog food is not as hard as it sounds. Sometimes all it takes is reading the label. Sometimes, if you want to be one hundred percent sure that your dog’s food is safe, you can make it yourself!
Make your own dog food recipe
If you are thinking of making your own dog food here are some simple steps to follow:
1. Meat is the most important ingredient. Make sure the meat is fresh - the best kind to use is meat from a meat processor or butcher. They can grind the meat up for you if you would like them to. The meat can be beef, lamb or chicken (some people also use fish).
2. Vegetables need to be added to every meal. The best vegetables to use are broccoli, yams, beets, sweet potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, carrots, cucumber and squash. Stay away from beans, spinach, chard, garlic, bell peppers, potatoes, onions, beet greens and spinach as these have been known to lead to digestive problems and red blood cell damage.
3. The best way to figure out how much food to feed your dog is to take its body weight and then multiply it by 0.4. This will give you the number of ounces your dog needs to eat every day and from there you can decide how those ounces should be served.
Natural dog food
You can feed natural ingredients to your dog in cooked or raw form. The most important thing is to make sure that they get the nutrients they need in the amounts they need.
Naturally made healthy dog food is far more convenient than commercially made dog food. While most people prefer commercially bagged or canned dog food because of its ease, the dog food you make yourself will save you time and money in the long run. The ingredients for your dogs food do not have to be expensive - they are basically the same foods that you are buying for your family. Another reason home made or natural food is better is that, in the long run, it saves you time and money on trips to the veterinarian and gives you more time with your pet (dogs who eat natural food live longer).
Homemade dog food is healthy
While it is certainly easy to run out to the store and grab a bag of the cheapest doggie kibble available, this is not what is best for the four legged member of your family. Dogs have dietary needs just like humans do and often, the commercially made dog food does not cater to these needs. By paying attention to your dogs nutrition and the ingredients of his food, you are making sure that your dog leads a long and healthy life. Isn’t your best friend worth it?

My dogs eat the Ol’ Roy dry dog food from those big bags, and it seems fine. But when this bag is all used up, is it okay to buy the same thing?
I just want to know what brands are contaminated and to avoid getting.
Thanks.

Keep Your Dog Healthy With Homemade Dog Food Recipes
Friday, January 2nd, 2009
Stephen Alfred asked:
Lets face it, do we really know what goes into the food that we feed to our dogs.Personally, I had no idea until I started doing a little research on exactly what goes into the making of dog food.After reading certain articles written by doctors, I was shocked to find out that most dog foods were all made with a variety of unhealthy chemicals.
