Premium Dog or Cat Food Best for Pet’s Health

Proper nutrition is the number one protection against disease in dogs and cats. Feeding a high-quality dog food or cat food will keep your pet healthy and in good condition throughout its life

How do you know what dog/cat food is right? For many the choice is a homemade diet. If you have the time and the resources, I agree that this is the preferred way to go. This is usually the best, and occasionally the only choice for animals with multiple food allergies. The choice is yours whether to go cooked or raw, with bones or without.

Basically, a homemade diet should consist of 40-60% meat for dogs, 60%-90% for cats, 20-50% vegetables (dogs, or 10%-40% for cats), and the rest, optionally, grains. The choice within each category is vast, and depends on your budget, availability, and what the dog or cat prefers. Food allergies often dictate what is used.

Each dog and cat is unique and what is best for one may not work well for another. Feeding a variety of foods is the best way to provide all or most of the nutrients that your pet needs.

A good quality multi-vitamin and calcium supplements will help make sure the diet is complete. Because it can be tricky to get the right balance of calcium and phosphorus when making your own pet food, you will need to add a calcium supplement.

If you like the idea of homemade pet food, but lack the time, there are pre-mixes available, or complete ready-to-serve meals. Pre-mixes come freeze-dried, dehydrated or frozen. Usually they are grain and vegetable mixes, along with some supplements such as calcium, to which you add the meat. Ground meats, sometimes with bone, are also available where pet foods are sold. You can then add your own vegetables and/or grains if you so desire.

Complete raw-foods diets are also sold as frozen, dry or freeze-dried. Some areas may have local entrepreneurs who make and sell these diets fresh. They may also custom make meals to your pets specifications.

If you prefer to feed a commercial product, choose one of the many premium dog foods now available. though the cost may be higher than grocery store brands, what you save in vet bills will more than make up for the difference.

Whether to feed canned or dry pet food will depend on you and your dog or cat. Canned food is usually more expensive, kibble is more convenient. Pets usually prefer canned foods and some need the softer, wetter consistency. Canned pet foods generally contain higher quality proteins than dry pet food, and a higher percentage of protein and fat. The higher moisture content of canned foods can be beneficial to dogs and cats with kidney or urinary tract problems. Dry pet foods contain more preservatives. Some people choose to use both.

The most important criteria in choosing a pet food is the list of ingredients. Whole meats are always better then meat meals, and meat meals are preferable to by-products. Single source meals, such as

What is the Best Food for My Dog?

All things aside, “most reputable manufacturers of “super premium” and natural food agree with holistic veterinarians and other experts that the very best diet for your animal companion is one that you make yourself. A homemade diet, carefully balanced nutritionally and using organic foods, is closest to what Mother Nature intended” (Animal Protection Institute, 2004). Before you say you don’t have the time to prepare homemade food for your dog, take a look at the plentiful, excellent recipes available for free on the internet that show you how to prepare a large batch of meals that’ll last at least 3 days. Once every 3 days is not much to ask. Impartial or not, I have to agree with this. As a result, I’m not even going to entertain over processed, nutrient deficient kibbles and canned foods that are packed with additives, preservatives, colourants, fillers, and meat products that really should not be called meat at all. (For some great information on commercial dog food including the standards they have to abide by, their ingredients, and how they’re made, visit the Animal Protection Institute website). So we know we should be feeding all natural or organic homemade meals to our pets, but what should these meals consist of?

There is almost as much contention with this as there is when it comes to humans. There are so many species of dogs now, and mixed breeds keep on appearing. Yet some people still say we should feed dogs like their ancestors. They say that the only biologically appropriate food for dogs is what wolves ate. Obviously the intention here is to push raw diets, but with wolves in the wild, this begins and ends with meat, some berries and grass if they feel unwell. Firstly, there is no evidence as yet to say that dogs come directly from wolves (there is a lot of DNA that does not match) and popular theorist like Darwin have said that it’s just as likely that they came from Jackals and Coyotes. Dogs are not wolves. This is highlighted by the fact that some breeds of dogs get quite unwell when fed good quality raw meats. Dogs, like humans, are incredibly domesticated and interbred, and though this doesn’t mean they should be eating like wolves, it doesn’t mean that they should be eating highly processed, artificial, chemically enhanced rubbish either. Secondly, have you ever heard of a wolf tucking into some broccoli and eggplant? But there are merits to this approach, but only when the supporters of it contradict themselves by saying we should feed our dogs raw fruits and vegetables.

Saying dogs should eat like wolves, is a bit like saying we should be eating like apes. I can’t remember ever seeing an ape go fishing, yet fish, for most people, is incredibly beneficial for health and well being adding important, necessary, elements to our diets. It makes sense that, as with humans, vegetables, fruits, and some whole grains can be really beneficial to dogs. Most dogs are omnivores, and some dogs do better on an all vegetarian diet. Founders of the holistic vet movement, such as Dr. Richard Pitcairn and Juliette DeBairclay-Levy, have always pushed the importance of these food sources. These ingredients have been time-tested for decades. Whole grains (not corn and preferably not wheat), fruits and vegetables are a wonderful addition to a balanced, biologically-appropriate diet. So, it seems that the best food for your dog would be a homemade meal consisting of all natural or organic, biologically appropriate food consisting of a mixture of meat, whole grains, vegetables, and fruit. (Did you see I didn’t say raw? Just be aware, some veggies and meats can be harmful to some breeds if not cooked so as to either kill bacteria and reduce fat content of the meat, and break down some toxins that sit in the hard skins of some veggies – that’s why humans shouldn’t eat raw broccoli either! Knowing that an all natural or organic meal made at home is considered the best, it still doesn’t address the question of balance. Feeding your dog with quality ingredients is a great beginning, but how much of each is right for your pet?

There seems to be little consensus on the general nutritional requirements for dogs. Experts who have spent years and years researching this have come to varying conclusions. Some experts purport that each breed needs to be fed a breed specific diet. This may be a little too specific for some but I think it’s heading in the right direction.

This is the approach that seems most realistic and appropriate to me because it mimics the approach to human nutrition that I follow. Through years of personal training and helping people achieve optimal health and well being, I discovered Metabolic Typing. It is the only nutrition and lifestyle approach that I’ve found that truly treats each person as an individual. One of its best attributes is the process you go through to fine tune diet and lifestyle requirements on a continual basis. There is a lot to learn from this approach. It is person specific, and is current in that you re-test yourself every sixth months to check your requirements at that time. Our lifestyles and environments change, as do our pets, so it makes sense to re asses our dietary intake regularly, and our pets’ to see if they’ve changed. Only in this way can we, as humans, maintain a proper balance. It makes sense for this to be the case with our pets.

Just like human beings, each dog is a unique individual. Yes they’ll have similar characteristics and general dispositions as their dominant breed and the genes they’ve inherited from their parents, but they’ll also have unique characteristics given to them by nature, and their environment. It seems fairly obvious to say then that no pre-made dog food can claim to be THE best, unless it has been tailor made for your pet by a specialist (there are a few people on the web that do this). But…. there are plenty of pet food companies out there which are well within their rights to call their pet food superior. Most of these suggest mixing their all natural or organic food at home with ingredients that are missing from their food, to prepare a fresh home made meal. The ingredient specifics of these and their importance are debated, but on the whole, the less processed the food is the better. Look for ingredients made up of whole foods (foods that haven’t been altered). So how much is enough?

Without getting breed specific, and understanding that I follow those experts who suggest macro nutrient levels to be specific for your breed of dog, here are the generally agreed upon amounts.

• The protein percentage should be about 1/3 or more of the whole meal. Meat is the obvious choice for the bulk of this macronutrient. (Some dogs don’t handle meat well).

• Fat should make up about 1/5 or more, dogs process good fats well. There is a reasonable amount of natural fat in meats, so you shouldn’t need to watch this macronutrient nutrient too closely if feeding meats to your dog.

• That leaves a little under ½ the rest should be veggies, fruits, and whole grains (not corn, and preferably no wheat).

What is the best food for your dog? The simple answer, if your dog’s health is good, vet bills aren’t streaming in and its coat is healthy, then change may not be necessary. Be aware though that a lot of the conditions and diseases that commercial pet foods cause build up over time. If you are suspicious that there is anything at all wrong, or you just want to see if you can give your best friend even more health and vitality, then the time is right to start preparing all natural or organic home made meals from meat, veggies, fruits, and whole grains (minus corn and wheat). Check with a holistic vet near you, and the valuable expert resources on the internet for recipe ideas and do’s and don’ts. Just remember, as with humans, balance is the key. Some raw and some cooked, but all natural and organic, should keep the vet bills at bay, and your pets’ ready for play!

Overweight Dog – When Fido Gets A Belly

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:32:27 +0000

An overweight dog faces many of the same problems as an overweight human. Chubby canines have a higher risk of developing diabetes, joint problems, infections, certain cancers and a list of other ailments associated with being an overweight dog.

Obviously the best way to deal with this is to not let your furry friend get fat in the first place but if you’re reading this then he probably is already a tubbo. This is becoming and increasingly bigger problem because of the number of urban dogs that spend their day inside a townhome or condo where exercise is limited to barking at cars through the window.

But let’s start at the beginning. Just how fat is your dog? The first thing you want to do is establish if there is a waist or not. There should be a visible indentation behind the rib cage and before the hips. Secondly check the rib cage itself. If you can’t easily feel the ribs, if all you feel is a roll of fat, then your dog is overweight.

If you really want to get serious about this, take a trip to the vet and insure that the condition is not being caused by some physical malady. Ask the vet for ideas as to how much weight the dog needs to lose and how fast he or she should lose it. That can be the tricky part for as a general rule, dogs don’t tolerate rapid weight loss very well.

Now that you have a goal, it’s time to put a plan together. In order to lose weight in a healthy manner, the pooch is going to need the proper diet and exercise. This can be a problem for urban dogs. Ideally you would feed the dog at set times and then put the bowl up so bowser can’t free feed all day long. Dogs, like people, eat when they get bored.

It means that the dog bowl has to be put up before you leave for work and that’s may be an adjustment problem for the pooch at first. Obviously dinner is served when you get home, and if you tend to work late or do chores straight from work, that means the dog goes without food for 10 to 12 hours. It won’t kill him but it will probably make you feel guilty and you’ll want to give him treats.

There’s nothing wrong with that so long as you give healthy treats. Carrots and broccoli may not be your favorite but most dogs love them. They are chock full of good vitamins and antioxidants and almost no calories. Give it a shot. These veggies will also save you some bucks compared to commercial dog treats.

And that brings up another area you might want to explore. Making your own dog food not only saves you a ton of money but gives you complete control over just what the dog is eating. Forget the contaminated dog food recalls that come around about once a year, the regular dog food isn’t really all that great either. It’s not until you get into the premium foods that you are providing your dog with the proper mix of nutrients.

Exercise is the second part of the weight loss program and again it’s important not to do more than your dog can. They can’t sweat like people so they don’t have nearly the capability to cool down and they are easily overheated. Don’t put you fat dog on a leash and take him jogging or cycling with you. A brisk walk should do the trick.

Your dog loves you and relies on you to take care of him. Do the right thing for your overweight dog and take the time to slim him down to a healthy size.

Benefits of Fiber in a Dogs Diet

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:32:23 +0000

Fiber is very important in our diet. As humans we need it. But what about dogs? Is there a benefit of having fiber in their diet? Is making sure there is adequate fiber in dog food giving them the best dog food possible? At one time fiber was considered a simple filler, however today, we know that adding fiber to a dog`s diet has benefits. So what is fiber and what are the benefits? Fiber is a carbohydrate and like other carbs too much is not a good thing. Like us, because fiber is not highly digestible, too much can wreck havoc on our digestive system. So it is equally important that dogs get the right amount of fiber in their diet as well for the best possible dog food. Pets that are overweight can be benefited by having extra fiber in their diet. Because it helps in keeping your dog feeling full they will not pig out on calories. Even though fiber alone cannot achieve weight loss on its own, it can make a difference by maintaining a healthy weight. This will contribute towards a longer and healthier life for your pet. If your dog needs more fibre in the diet to aid in constipation, then insoluble fibre such as found in fruits and vegetables are fine. Most dogs won’t eat many fruits, but will eat washed raw vegetables – my dog likes carrots, peas and broccoli. Go figure. As a dog reaches the senior years, constipation can become a problem. An increase in fiber can help this condition become manageable. How does fiber help in the aid of constipation? Fiber absorbs water which gives the contents in the intestines more bulk and this causes movement within the intestines. You will know if your dog is getting too much or too little fiber in there diet by their consistency. Too much fiber will result in a loose and messy stool but the right balance will result in a normal regular movement. Another benefit of fiber is that it can assist in the management of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is frequently diagnosed in pets five years of age or older. This is also known as Type II or adult-onset diabetes. Simply put, diabetes mellitus is a failure of the pancreas to regulate blood sugar. Diets high in fiber are preferred because they are generally lower in sugar and slower to be digested. This means that the dog does not have to process a large amount of sugar at one time. Additionally, the fiber may help stimulate insulin secretion in Type II diabetes. Because too much fiber can be harmful to your pets it is important that you buy the best dog food available that contains just the right amount. Better yet consider making your own dog food. It is easy and affordable and you will then know exactly what your dog is getting. Other types of foods that contain fiber would be Beet pulp, Soybean hulls, Rice bran, Apple and Tomato pomace and Peanut hulls. Grains such as oats and rice are also types of digestible fiber. If your dog needs fibre for some sort of bowel disease, then soluble fibre, such as psyllium or oat bran should be used. Yes fiber does have benefits for our pets when used in moderation.

Dogs Gone Green

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:34:01 +0000

It seems that everyone these days is trying to do their part to become more eco-friendly. Getting your family involved in this quest is important. Since, for most, the dog is a part of the family, he should be included.

Some people may think that a pet does not leave much of a carbon footprint, but they do. Think about all of the things that you buy for your pet every day. A dog, like any other pet, has needs that must be met, and people spend millions on products such as dog food, toys, and flea control chemicals. Following a few simple tips can help reduce your furry friend’s carbon footprint and make the earth a cleaner, healthier place to live for all of us.

Homemade or Organic Dog Food

When possible try to cook your own dog food. This does not take an extraordinary amount of time, and it will cut down on waste due to shipping and pollutants in the air from manufacturing. If you have absolutely no time to make your own dog food, consider buying locally made organic dog food from a local holistic pet supply store.

Pooch Poo Disposal

Although many of us may not realize it, how you dispose of your pet’s waste can have a big impact on the environment. Try to treat their waste as your own, and flush it down the toilet when possible. Buying biodegradable pet waste bags are designed to decompose quickly, and in turn, they leave less waste in the landfill. Some companies even sell flushable biodegradable waste bags.

Eco-Friendly Dog Supplies and Accessories

When buying new accessories and toys for your dog, look for toys and bedding that are made from natural, recycled, or biodegradable materials. Try to avoid accessories that are treated with harmful chemicals such as flame retardants. When your pooch gets bored with his old toys and outgrows his bedding, consider swapping them with other pet owners in your area. Freecyclegroups on Yahoo are a good place to find people willing to swap or give away their unwanted items.

Combat Fleas the Right Way

If your dog has a problem with fleas, treating him with the toxic chemicals designed for flea control can add to the other harmful toxins already in the air. While using less toxic means to control fleas may take a little more time, it’s worth it if you’re interested in reducing your pet’s carbon footprint. The University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute offers a few tips on eco-friendly ways to combat these pests.

Wash your pets bedding thoroughly with hot soapy water.

Regularly vacuum your carpet, rugs, upholstered furniture, and crevices thoroughly to get rid of flea and their eggs. Dispose of what you’ve vacuumed up in a sealed bag.

Use a special flea comb designed to get rid of fleas and their eggs regularly.

Spray Fido with a mixture of half water and half distilled white vinegar daily.

Add brewer’s yeast, vitamin B-12, or garlic to your dog’s food each day.

Rub your pets coat with fennel, rue, and rosemary.

If you absolutely must use chemical to get rid of fleas, opt for spot treatments or flea collars as opposed to sprays and powders.

Dogs Training Series Five Tips to Protect Your Dogs Health

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:32:33 +0000

It’s tempting to choose economical dog food, rather than quality products when money is tight. While this might seem like a good idea, it could affect your dog’s nutrition and ultimately cost you more in vet bills.

Cheap dog food does not contain the nutritional benefits that higher priced good dog food does. Economical dog food is loaded with filler, whereas quality foods provide your dog will only good dog food nutrition. Without proper nutrition, your dog can suffer from any number of related diseases which, in turn, can lead to high vet bills down the road.

Keep in mind, too, that your dog will need to eat more of the economical food to gain the same benefits. In fact, your dog is likely to demand more food to feel satisfied. In the long run, he eats more, costing you more. Then, there are the dangers of poor dog nutrition that include a compromised immune system, poor coat and decreased skin health that can require otherwise avoidable vet bills.

Here are five tips to protect your dog’s health.

1. Buy high quality nutrition-packed dog food that contains high levels of meat, vegetables and whole grain. This will maintain your dog’s strong immune system, healthy and vibrant coat, and strong teeth. Good dog food will also boost your dog’s resistance to disease.

2. Dogs like variety and so do their bodies. Choose a diet that alternates between several different dog foods to reduce the chance of your dog developing food allergies. Alternate foods come with their own specific nutritional strengths. For instance, your dog will get different forms of protein and nutritional balances from kibble, canned food, and homemade dog food. By switching between them, you can ensure your dog gets sufficient nutrition. Be sure that each option is nutrition-packed.

3. Pay special attention to your dog’s grooming. Keep him or her clean and parasite free. Your efforts will go a long way to preventing related skin and internal diseases such as hot spots on the skin, ticks, fleas, and worms.

4. Give your dog regular veterinarian checkups to catch any problems early on. The sooner you identify potential health issues, the sooner treatment and preventative measures can be taken to ensure your dog’s health. Be sure to discuss your dog’s nutrition and any signs of problems on each visit.

5. Get medical attention for your pet immediately when you detect any signs of illness. By getting early treatment, you can prevent more serious nutrition-related problems and the increased cost of treatment.

Along with providing your pet with good dog food nutrition, be sure to include regular physical exercise in your dog’s daily routine. This will ensure that your pet maintains his or her optimal wellness to ward off disease.

Follow these simple steps and you can help protect your dog’s health to ensure your pet enjoys a long and healthy life.
