How to Select Commercial Pet Food - A Quick and Easy Guide
March 30, 2007 |
All along, I never felt comfortable feeding my pets commercialized dog food no matter how premium the claims are. I guess my instinct is right all along . The pet food recall event have just confirmed my thoughts about pet diet contributing a major role towards our pet’s health. If we are unable to provide for homemade natural diet or BARF, here are my suggestions on selecting and doing the best you can with your kibble options for your dog.
· Select from specialty shop
- Avoid brands that list grains as their main source of protein
- Avoid meat meals and by-products, dyes, artificial preservatives like BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin and propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is known to cause bloat and anemia in dogs.
· Select only brands that has meat sources listed as first two ingredients in the list. (Organic meats & ingredients preferred)
· Do your research on dog food brands that you are feeding. · Add enzymes to their meals. Cooked food or kibble diet do not contain enzymes which is responsible for breaking down the food properly.
· Cooking and making a little extra fresh foods for your dog’s daily meal and let this little extra be about 30% of your dog’s diet .
