DOG TRAINING TIPS & ARTICLES
The Importance of a Good Diet
The foundation of your dog's good health is a good diet. Depending on
your budget, you may or may not be able to feed your dog a larger proportion
of fresh meat, but at least be prepared to spend enough for a good dry food.
Here are a few things to look for...
All dog foods are labeled with the ingredients in order by proportion.
That is, whatever forms the largest percentage is listed first, followed by
the next largest, and so on. One of the attributes that makes cheap dog food
less preferable is the high percentage of 'waste' animal parts. When you see
'by products' on the label, it's better to avoid these brands. If it does
appear on higher quality dog food, which is rare, it should be listed near the
bottom indicating a small proportion.
Those 'by products' consist of parts that were not considered usable for
human consumption. That fact doesn't, by itself, make the product dangerous,
but the absence of usable nutrients will have an undesirable long term effect
on coats, muscles, bones, and overall health.
Some experts put the proper ratio of meat, vegetables and starch at
about roughly 40%, 30%, and 30% respectively, but those ratios change rapidly
depending on the size, age and general condition of your dog. Common meats
used in dog food are chicken, lamb and beef... good sources of protein which
is essential to healthy coats and strong muscles. Vegetables provide minerals,
vitamins and enzymes that maintain bone health and support the digestive and
endocrine systems. The starch content is often provided by brown or white
rice, both good sources of healthy carbohydrates which are the fuel that
drives your dog's engine.
Some dogs have special conditions that make special diets necessary.
Many Golden Retrievers, for example, are sensitive to wheat products. Corn
meal is hard to digest for some dogs. Look for these on the label and discuss
with your vet whether it's necessary to avoid them. Some indicators are soft
stools, excessive scratching and frequent gas.
Some dogs will find dry dog food more enjoyable if it is prepared with a
little water and microwaved for about 30 seconds. Feed dry at least
occasionally, though, to help scrub teeth and gums. Needless to say, go easy
on the treats. Even quality treats tend to be high in fat content - one of the
reasons the dogs enjoy them so much. One or two per day isn't harmful, but go
for the quality brands.
The price differential for good food is sometimes considerable - with
higher quality dog food often twice the cost. But considering the effects on
health you'll likely make up for it in lower vet bills, and you’ll have a
healthier dog. The shine of the coat, the clarity of the eyes and other less
obvious indicators will show in the long run. And, in the final analysis, the
health of your dog is priceless.
Would Your Dog Be Healthier On A Natural Diet?
Home made dog food is becoming a popular option, although hardly a new
one, for many dog owners. Every dog alive today can be traced back to dogs who
were raised on homemade natural diets. The dog food industry as we know it, is
young - maybe 50 to 60 years - although canned meat was sold as dog food at
the turn of the twentieth century. Originally, the commercial foods were meant
to supplement homemade food.
With few exceptions, commercially made dry food is primarily cereal
based with the major portion of the protein coming from grains and a dash of
animal protein in the ingredients. An amazing number of dogs have been able to
exist and adapt to these diets, which have made the dog into a partial
herbivore instead of a carnivore. Canned diets, which usually contain more
animal protein with a dash of cereal, are also popular, especially among toy
breeds. Some people successfully combine these two.
Many dogs cannot thrive on commercially prepared rations. They exhibit
disease states, often mistaken for allergies, which are deficiency diseases
caused by cereal-based foods. Dogs in a natural state would eat meat. Their
teeth are formed to tear flesh from the bone, and they would share a carcass
with their pack. The carcass would be that of a grass-eating animal - an
herbivore. Along with the internal organs, dogs would eat the predigested
grasses and plants in the intestinal tract of the carcass. Those grasses and
plants would consist of probably 20 to 25 percent of the dogs' total diet.

In the wild, dogs would raid nests from ground-breeding birds and eat
the eggs, and they would catch the occasional insect. These dogs might also
forage on certain weeds and grasses. If you are going to try a natural diet,
nutritionists recommend that you stay within these boundaries - with the
exception of the insects. A natural diet should follow, as closely as
possible, what the dog would eat if still in the wild state. It should take
into account the limitations of the dog's short digestive tract, strong
stomach acid and the enzymes the canine system produces to break down food.
Ideally, it would consist of two meals: one cereal meal plus
supplements, which makes up 25 percent of the total diet, and the other a raw
meat meal plus supplements, which is 75 percent of the total diet. The
advantages of a natural diet are many. Health and longevity are increased,
there is resistance to disease and the diet can be tailored to individual
needs. This is crucial for some breeds of dogs, especially those who have
difficulty digesting corn, which is in the majority of prepared commercial
diets.
