Doesn't Your Dog Deserve The Best Dog Food?

If you are willing to spend the extra money, high quality dog food has many benefits for the health and well being of your furry friend. Including the way they look and feel. You will notice these benefits almost immediately.

Don't you think your dog deserves to be treated as well as you treat yourself? Some of us feel they should be treated better. The cheaper the food is, the worse it is for them to eat on a daily basis. Many veterinarians have compared most of these commercially advertised dog foods to serving family and friends chopped up boxes with brown gravy. Sure their appetite will be filled, but the vitamins and minerals they need will just not be there. Be assured that once your dog becomes adjusted to the lower calories, and basic nutritional needs, he/she will most likely eat a lot less of the \"good stuff\", instead of gobbling up mass quantities of the other brands, (as most dogs tend to do).

You cannot even begin to count all the long as well as short term benefits when you decide to upgrade. The best quality foods and that is including the much abundant and easy to find if you search \"home made dog food\" recipes, these will provide your animal with a healthier and happier disposition in life.

Many dogs are allergic to the lower quality ingredients found in cheap dog food. You might find that with a better dog food your pet will have less \"itchies\" and shed far less as well. Better health decreases the amount of yeast in the ears which some breeds are prone to. Also once they have the nutrients they need their bodies will be capable of healing faster after a surgery, accident or procedure.

Animals learn best when their needs are met. So if you've been relying on low quality food and haven't had much luck with training, changing to a higher quality might be part of the answer. No one feels like producing good work when they're hungry or living on a diet of garbage. Same holds true with our furry friends.

I own a big and beautiful Saint Bernard. We adopted him after he was hit by a semi truck, no kidding, and walked away with just a scratch. After the stitches were in place his owner decided that he wasn't what they considered to be \"show quality\" and dumped him at a shelter. We brought him home and kept him on the generic brand food the shelter had been feeding him. He had a few raw spots on his legs and back that we attributed to a rash he'd acquired in the kennel. I took him back to the shelter to see what they recommended. A simple ointment was the suggestion I left with and after 2 weeks it had done no good. He had been steadily having loose bowel movements and I got worried. I took him to my vet and after a few minutes she came out with a diagnosis. He wasn't getting enough protein from the food in his diet. I upgraded to the next most expensive brand, thinking that a 180 pound dog would eat me out of house and home. His rashes got a bit better and a couple of them went away.

It wasn't until I bit the bullet and went in for the higher quality food that I saw the best results. After 3 weeks his raw and tender spots were completely healed, his itchy ears were under control and his demeanor had calmed immensely. Now he has a full, gorgeous coat and has gained almost 50 pounds.

I truly believe that, what you give is what you get. We all need a good diet, and so do our furry friends. It is necessary to care and to respect every aspect of their needs. Not to do so is extremely neglectful, and uncaring, and a terrible, terrible shame.
