Dog food available at supermarkets invariably has added preservatives and colorants. In order to introduce your canine friend to a natural dog food diet, you will have to toss all the commercially available products and feed him what nature intended.
Getting rid of all the additives should result in healthier animals. They should be happier and live more comfortable lives. Pure and natural ingredients in the food bowl are the healthy way to go. Fruits and grain may not sound like your dog's favorites, but they are good and healthy. The same goes for beans, vegetables and raw meat.
Some people may express fears that raw meat may contain bacteria that can make the dog sick. It may, but then the real problem is the butcher, not the meat. Buy from a butcher you trust. Cooking the meat will take away some of its nutritional value. Even a diet without meat is acceptable, say some people in favor of the natural dog diet.
The dog will be better off eating raw products. Natural uncooked products are rich in vitamins as well as protein, carbohydrates and minerals. Uncooked food has more nutritional value.
Products humans buy and eat often contains additives that may be unhealthy. This is also true of dog food. Manufacturers add extra flavor. While the dogs may love this, it is not always a good thing.
Nobody wants to see their dog suffering the unpleasant discomfort of allergies. The problem of constant scratching and head shaking can be solved. All too often we blame fleas, but when there is no evidence of these little pests we need to think again. Diet is without a doubt the probable cause. By changing your best friend's menu to a natural one of good raw stuff, his allergy to unnatural chemicals can disappear and the scratching will stop.
Products from nature in the food bowl are a very cost effective way to keep a dog healthy. This contains everything the animal needs. Changing the diet will almost certainly guarantee that you will not need to spend money on supplements.
People breeding dogs can't go wrong using the additive-free diet approach as soon as possible with female dogs. By the time the dog is pregnant, her body must be ready and her immune system at its best. It is not the best time to change her diet then. She should already be used to the new way of eating. You will improve the chances of a healthy mother and healthy puppies. The secret is to change to a natural diet early and then stick with it.
Your dog's digestive system is intended to consume and process natural ingredients. It was created before all the man made additives. Foreign chemicals in colorants and other additives are likely to cause unpleasant reactions. Bad breath and itchy skin will give way to healthy, clean teeth and a thicker, shiny coat. A natural dog food diet can and will produce a happier, fitter and stronger pet.
