Our Dogs have to eat, and they have to obtain the proper nutrients which will allow them to grow and stay healthy. We as dog owners would always like to have the best of everything for our dogs, but the economy thinks otherwise. We have to spend what we can afford and many times its just simply not the best. There are tonnes of different brands of dog foods available on the market. All promising the best of everything that will make your dog, skip, smile, pounce and just be "dog garn" happy. But what kind of food does it take for your dog to be healthy ad happy? Well, the answer to that is as simple as ABC. Lets look at a dog's appetite in a logical sense. Dogs are descendants from wolves, wolves are wild animals which hunt for food. Wolves eat meat so therefore they are considered carnivores. Since dogs are descendants from wolves and wolves diet is 95% meat, it can therefore be concluded that the best diet for our dog should also be 95% meat. Even the total build and mechanism of the dog is geared for meat eating. Large canine teeth for ripping into flesh and strong molar for the crushing of bones. We as owners have helped to change the natural ways in our dogs diet by feeding them dog food which is less meat geared and more on the vegetable side. Many dog foods are made of corn, barley, rice and other products which naturally would never have been in the diet of the animal if it was not domesticated. You must always ensure that when you feed your dog, he/she is given enough meat products which is natural to them.

Dog Foods For Cows!

Some dog foods that we purchase off shelves have no meat products in them and are wholly grain with fatty oil and meat flavoring.  Here is a brief synopsis of how many dog food manufactures make their vegetable cow foods which we buy for our dogs:

Ingredients
  • Corn
  • Rice
  • Barley
They then take all the above ingredients and grind them to flour like mix.  The ingredients are then cooked and passes through molds of different shapes. Then the processed mold bits are sprayed with fatty oils and meat flavoring to trick your dog into thinking its yummy beef or chicken. A dog eating this kind of meal will lack many nutriments his body will need because of the lack of meat in his diet because not all animals on earth were meant to be vegetarians.

What To Look For When You Buy Dog Food:

The next time you go out shopping for dog food, don't just pick up a bag of grains and throw it into the shopping cart. There are certain symbols you need to look out for on the dog food bags.
Picture
Hypoallergenic Logo: What this green cross means is that Dog food is hypoallergenic. In simpler for, it has a less likely chance of causing your dog allergies because it is free from the grains which causes allergies in your dog in the first place. Ingredients such as wheat, artificial additives, dairy products and maize.

Picture
Natural Logo: This logo means that your dog food only has natural ingredients and is free from artificial flavoring, antioxidants and artificial coloring.

Picture
Grain free Logo: Simply means that the dog food contains no grain whatsoever. no wheat, no corn, no rice, no barley, etc.

Picture
Clear Ingredients Logo: In order to receive the clear logo, foods must state each ingredient clearly and individually and must give a good indication of their percentage meat content. Any unspecified or vague ingredients will mean that the clear logo is not given.

Picture
High Meat Content Logo: Now here is a logo we love to see. The logo is only given when the meat content is not less than 30% of all ingredients. If you pick up a bag of dried dog food and the logo is not there, it could mean that the total meat content is not stated or the dog food is less than 30% in meat content.

Shop Dog Food Smart
Now that you know what to look for when buying your dog the nutritious dog foods he/she deserves. Its time to ditch the old bag of wheat and get your dog some real foods, foods with meat.
