Dog Food With Harmful Ingredients

By Brad Chase


Obviously you want to give your dog a healthy long life. You take care of him through regular veterinarian visits, long walks, and making sure your dog socializes with other puppies. You buy him toys to help stimulate his mind and keep him from being bored and play with him all the time to encourage learning.

Feed your dogs natural dog food- How about if you spend some of that time and effort choosing his food? Buying expensive dog food doesn't necessarily mean its ideal for your dog. That dog food can still contain ingredients that are doing more harm than good.

Problems with Modern Dog Food

There are so many wrong ingredients present in modern dog food. When you pour this in a bowl, you are actually feeding your dog: Your dog deserves some natural dog food!

Additives- These additives, like preservatives, flavour enhancers, are made in a laboratory and are not natural. In fact they can often interfere with the way your dog processes the few natural nutrients within the food. Dog's find it difficult to process laboratory produced additives in dog food. Don't be fooled by so-called hypoallergenic dog food, either; these types of dog food still often contain artificial additives.

Right Kind of Herbage- Your dog needs herbage, but he needs the right kind of herbage. Animals from which the dog food meat came from used to graze in pastures made up of herbage and grasses and hence, contained essential nutrients but now the meat in dog food doesn't contain that type of herbage anymore. Only natural dog food gives your dog this type of herbage these days.

Inappropriate by-products- Inappropriate by-products are the denatured human food products dog foods contain. While these products may contain some nutritional substance, they are often manufactured using non holistic principles and have lost many essential elements that add to their nutritional value. As a result, they must be supplemented with synthetic products.

These harmful ingredients can negatively affect your dog's health, leading to allergies, hypersensitivity, and illnesses associated with the long term use of a poor diet. Wheat or gluten in dog food is the main cause of allergy. Dogs may even suffer food intolerance.

To ensure dog is health research what is present in his food. Those ingredients are really not safe. Then, take steps to improve his quality of life by making the switch to natural dog food, so he is eating only the freshest ingredients containing the nutrients he needs for a long and healthy life.
