Dog Food Secrets |
I am the proud mommy of 5 furry pets. After the recent pet food poisoning scare I decided to do some research. I was absolutely horrified to find out I was poisoning my dogs.Many pet foods claim to be “100% nutritionally complete and balanced. This claim legally can be made and printed on commercial products based on information studies using isolated nutrients and not whole foods.
These tests ignore important nutritional issues and give consumers a false sense of knowledge and security.There are more than forty known, essential nutrients… thus, making sure a food contains appropriate amounts of only a dozen of these nutrients can’t possibly assure that a food is complete.

About Premium Dog Food |
Premium dog food is exactly what it sounds like. It is a food scientifically formulated and takes into consideration specific dietary needs your dog will require given their life stage or size. As the star performer of the US pet products market (a #10 billion industry), premium dog food substantially out-performs both mid-priced and economy brands as US consumers increasingly switch to higher end products.
High quality dog food is so important because good pet nutrition is essential for a long, healthy life.

High Moisture Levels In Dog Foods Equals High Price Tag? |
When you are choosing dog food for your dog, which one do you think is a better choice: pure chicken or chicken meal?
Chicken meal, for sure, is a lot better than pure chicken. This is because chicken meal has already been processed and cooked to kill bacteria and other unwanted toxins. Chicken is just chicken.
Water makes up the majority of a chicken’s body. When the label on your dog food states 70% whole chicken, this does not really mean it contains 70% chicken. Why? This is because 70% is before the chicken was cooked to remove the bacteria in its body. After cooking, this number should drop. Hence be cautious when looking at these numbers.
