Choosing Dog Food

Pets Comments Off

It can be hard to choose between all the different kinds of dog food out there. There are many brands and flavors, and you also have to choose between canned and dry. It’s been my experience that dry is healthier, so that’s what I choose, but everyone needs to make their own decision. Canned tends to have a higher fat content and more grease, so it can upset dogs’ stomachs. It can cause them to feel discomfort, vomit or even have diarrhea, which no owner wants to deal with. It also has a higher likelihood of spoiling if it’s left in a bowl for too long, which can happen if your dog doesn’t eat very fast. Spoiled food can make them sick as well, so it’s best to avoid that if at all possible.

Recently I spent a lot of time overseas. It was wonderful to have a break. I went shopping for the first time in years at my local supermarket. I felt a little overwhelmed as I had not been to this particular supermarket for years. I had no idea there were so many dog food brands. I decided to buy a puppy to keep me company and had run out of food. I thought I wouldn’t take any chances and bought a variety of brands. Years ago I had a cat that refused to eat particular brands. My puppy actually likes all the brands so I am going to stick with one brand.

Dog Food

Dog food is a peculiar thing in that, to me at least, it seems to put dogs on the level of human beings in that they require a particular sort of refined and packaged dog food bought on the shelves of a supermarket and donned with various caloric and health related information. In the days before humans took on dogs to be their lesser companions and claimed ownership of them, what did they eat? You can be sure that they did not eat soft, lightly fileted bits of kibble cooked to perfection with every health benefit in mind. It is a prime example of today’s consumer and elitist society that even our animals must have the finest of products.
