The Americans are more concerned about health than ever before, we should also have an equal amount of concern for our pets ... particularly as regards the ingredients in their food. We want the ingredients of our pet food to be acceptable for human consumption.
After all, if byproducts are not tolerated in our food, why should they be tolerated in our pet food? We are also beginning to realize that our dogs and cats need daily supplements the same way as we do, to take care of their bodies for the inevitable ravages of aging. In the space of an animal of life, an early start to good health ensures less vulnerability to degenerative diseases, joints that are less likely to creak with pain and a healthy heart.
Naturally, we want our dogs and cats to live with us as long as possible. Renowned global veterinarian Dr. Jane Bicks said that when considering food for dogs, should be a be tired of dyes, chemicals and artificial preservatives as much as possible. For example, BHA One of the most conservative synthetic antioxidants mainly used to prevent discoloration of food and rancidity was found in scientific studies to cause stomach cancer in laboratory rats at certain doses.
With fewer doses, the curator does not have a cancerous effect but there is no saying what BHA can do to the body in small doses over a long period of time. Dr. Jane states that the maximum life of dogs is estimated at between 25 to 30 years, but the average dog lives often no more than 13 to 14 years. And she adds that this difference is caused mainly by lack of food. It also states that the protein is an essential element of a dog's natural development to Pet owners should look for foods that have all the ingredients such as meat, eggs, fish and dairy products as opposed to sub - products.
Work harder or more energetic dogs need more protein and fat in their diet to maintain stamina and good body. A dog food that is comprehensive and balanced and includes at least 26 percent protein and 1650 kilocalories of energy per pound metabolizable is ideal.
During the seasons when dogs are not working, their energy needs decline. Feed lower calorie food or change to less dense in nutrients, food for dogs. Unbleached rice is one of the most digestible carbohydrates and provides a wide range of energy for your dog. The corn and wheat, they are much more difficult to digest.
