Of Course there is Meat and Fish

 

Any dog food worth feeding to your pet needs to be high in protein. After all, dogs are primarily meateaters. Unlike most dog foods, Wellness uses meat and fish that is fit for human consumption. For example, in their chicken based foods, they use the same chicken that we eat. In fact, in Wellness's puppy dog food, they actually use premium grade deboned chicken to make it more easily digestible by puppies. They also use fish that is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and even lean venison.

 

Wellness dog foods ingredients just might have your dog eating a more healthy diet than you are! Does your Dog Need Veggies, Fruits and Grains?The short anwer is "yes". Since dogs are natural meat eaters, it may seem strange that Wellness dog food ingredients also include fruits, vegetables and grains. But ingredients such as pears, zucchini, wheat and rice add fiber and carbohydrates to the diet. You'll find that dogs in the wild will also eat vegetation to get all the nutrients they need.

 

Among the Wellness dog food ingredients are some herbs with medicinal value. For example, rosemary is thought to prevent cancer in dogs, while chicory root acts as a food source for beneficial bacteria and flora in the digestive system. Speaking of which….

 

Probiotic Microorganisms

 

Here's where the Wellness dog food ingredients beats out the other brands. Wellness contains probiotics. Just as antibiotics kill off harmful organisms, probiotics promote the growth of beneficial organisms. Paradoxically, probiotics can also act as antibiotics, as the beneficial bacteria and yeasts kill off harmful bacteria and viruses. Probiotics can also lower blood pressure an improve the absortion of nutrients giving your dog a stronger immune system.Probiotics used as Wellness dog food ingredients include lactobacillus and enterococcus microflora. Lactobacillus is a genus of bacteria commonly found in such fermented dairy products as yoghurt and cheese. They possess anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. Enterococcus bacteria are found naturally in the gut of all healthy animals, though they are considered harmful to humans. They help to restore damaged intestinal tissue, especially in growing animals.

 

The Wellness dog food ingredients basically reveal a super food that together with proper exercise will help your dog reach optimal health. If only there was something just as good and convenient for us humans to eat as well.
