Dog Food
Your dog food could help your dog live
longer - According to holistic veterinarian Dr. Jane
Bicks, the maximum life span of dogs is estimated
to be around 25 to 30 years, yet the average dog generally
lives no longer than about 13 to 14 years.
She says that this deficit is due largely
to poor nutrition.
For example, canned food is about 75
to 78 percent moisture, which leaves very little room
for nutrition.
In addition to containing what is generally
considered the bottom of the barrel ingredients in
terms of nutritional density, most conventional dog
food products contain especially large amounts of
sodium to make them palatable, as well as dairy, byproducts,
chemical preservatives, artificial colors and other
potentially harmful ingredients. The carbohydrate
ratio is too high in some dog food brands as well,
eventually leading to obesity, which is increasingly
becoming a serious problem with dogs.
We all love our dogs so it is really
important to feed them the right dog food to keep
them fit and healthy. A little extra money spent on
feeding your dog good nutritious food could save you
hundreds if not thousands in vets bills.
