Happier Companions Begin With Proper Dog Nutrition

By Dorothy Watson


There has been a lot in the news about pet food, and a lot of that news has been shockingly sad. Most pet owners don't believe what they hear, and how they have contributed, albeit unknowingly, to their pets poor health. That's why it's important to learn about dog nutrition, as most people love their pets and want to give them the best, since they are a part of their family.

They are the ones that greet each family member at the door, even if that person scolded the pet prior to leaving. They are faithful and loving companions that will do almost anything to satisfy their owners. For that and many other reasons, it's important to give the four-legged family members what they really deserve when it comes to food.

Sadly, the companies so many consumers relied on and trusted are those who betrayed them and their beloved pets. These companies added questionable ingredients to their food, which was often manufactured overseas. In fact, some of these ingredients didn't even qualify as food, and were more like construction materials. Speak up for pets who don't have their own voice and have no choice in the matter.

Doing the right thing means starting off by reading the label on each bag or can of food. From there, it means doing the research on the ingredients, from A to Z. Next, it means reading up on the particular company's reputation, and where other pet owners exchange opinions, views, and vital information.

Cheap dog food doesn't give dogs the nutrition they need because the ingredients are inferior and substandard. To understand it better, it's like people eating at fast food restaurants two or three times a day for the rest of their lives. Consider what would occur to their well-being. All kinds of reports are out there, so the information is available and important to study.

In fact, there are documentaries that show statistics and will demonstrate what happened to at least one person who consumed this type of food on a daily basis. For starters, the actor gained tens of pounds in 30 days, and his health was put at risk. That's just one month, so consider the dangers to dogs who eat cheap food year-round.

This inexpensive food contains a lot of strange ingredients, sugar, fat, and more. Canines by nature were not meant to eat that way. Such food will make them gain an excessive amount of weight, while the sugar and fat will eventually attack their organs and shorten their lifespan.

Food for dogs that is nutritious will cost more, but it is worth it, as most would agree. People adopt such pets because they have so much to offer, from protection to companionship, and of course, loyalty. For all these wonderful traits and all they offer, they are worth the extra cost. They may stick around longer, because they'll be healthier, or at least reduce the risk of developing awful diseases due to poor diet. With a little bit of exercise, good food, and a lot of love, these loyal pets can be by your side for more years.
