So What's the Best Dog Health Food?

I just thought I'd comment on my last post. I am constantly having discusions with dog owners about the pros and cons of feeding a raw food diet. Virtualy every pet owner has bought into the advertising hype surrounding the so-called veterinary brand foods. They and their vets are so blinded by the advertising message that they fail to use common sense.

The facts are that if you visit a dog food manufacturing facility and watch your pets food being made, you'll see that it is cooked at high temperature and then is either coated with an oily substance or put into a negative pressure vessel where the oils are injected in. It stands to reason that most of the goodness is being cooked out of the food to start with and secondly the oxidation process starts the minute the oils are introduced to the cooked biscuit.

The product is denuded of it's vitimins and nutrients before it is even put in the bag! How many times have you heard nutritionist tell you to eat your fresh fruit and vegetables. The reason is that your body needs live healthy nutrients to survivor and fight off disease. Your pets are no different in this requirement. The only difference is that they are carnivores that require fresh meat and fat followed by small amounts of vegetable matter.

You'll know by now that I hate the idea of my animals eating dead, nutrientless cooked food. The answer is to feed them what mother nature intended. And that is raw meat, bones and vegetable matter. The resource I have found introduces you to the best dog health food. Go and take a look, your pets will thank you for it with improved health and extended care-free years.

Always bear in mind that your vet is not a trained nutritionist. He is most likely paid big money by the pet food manufacturers to market specific brand name foods. Try asking what the labels on the packet mean and you'll find, like did that he can't even answer the basic questions about why the ingredients are in the food and what they do. I'm not saying that they are all bad, all I'm saying is that commercial interests sometimes play a greater role in how your pet is treated than concern for their long term health and happiness.

Have a great day, thanks for reading and come visit again soon.
