Organic Dog Food Is Healthier for Your Pet
Most organic dog food is a mixed bag. That is, the legal criteria that any food has to meet to be able to place the label 'organic' on it is pretty week. So, even thought the bag may say organic, it may not be what you think it is. This is true for human food as well. Never the less, a little research can help you find a healthy food for your dog.If you have been feeding your dog with commerical dog food, then you are in for a little surprise if you want to go...
Natural Organic Dog Food for Better Quality of Life
In the wild, dogs and all other animals for that matter eat natural organic dog food. Unfortunately, our pets usually consist on a diet of over processed commerical dog food with chemical additives and preservatives. Of course, your dog can live a healthier life, especially in old age, if you feed him or her well as a puppy on.
Keep in mind that most store bought 'natural' or 'organic' dog food is not completely what the packaging says. For a true healthy organic diet, you'll have to cook for your dog on your own....
Organic Dry Dog Food
So called organic dry dog food is better than regular commercial dry dog food. However, any kind of dry pet food is over processed. Processed foods are believed to be the leading cause of chronic disease in both humans and domestic animals. However, dry or canned dog food is much more convenient since we don't even have time to cook for ourselves let alone our pets.
If you are going to use dry dog food, organic is better than regular.If you have the time, I would strongly encourage you to make homemade natural dog food. However, most don't have the...
Choosing Organic Dog Food Brands
There are several organic dog food brands that you can let your dog try. However, just because the bag says organic, doesn't mean it is. A company is legally allowed to put the label 'organic' on a food that we would not consider organic at all.
Unfortunately, the only way to really know how organic a food is, is to call the manufacturer and ask them pointed questions about how the food is made. For example, for chicken to be able to be labeled 'organic' only has to be given a cage area big enough to let...
Considerations for Choosing Organic Canned Dog Food
Organic canned dog food may be a step above regular canned dog food. However, I'm always a little wary of 'organic' food since the laws are loose about what a company can say is organic. We think an organic free range chicken is one that has an area big enough to run around in. However, 'organic' chicken used in organic canned dog food may not have had a large living area. For example, for a poultry company to be able to use the term 'free range' their chickens only need a cage big enough so...
Making Raw Organic Dog Food
The first thing to realize when considering feeding your dog raw organic dog food is that you should never feed your dog raw meat. Any meat you feed your dog should be cooked. And, since your dog needs meat in his or her diet, your dog's meal can not be completely raw.
Feeding your pet raw organic dog food will do wonders for his or her long term health. Typical commercial dog food is highly processed and is likely the cause of all the chronic diseases domestic pets suffer from. On the other hand, the 'organic' label...
