The Dog Diet

Commercial Premium Pet Food

Always make sure the first  ingredients listed are meat like chicken, beef, lamb etc. Not by-products!

Avoid pet foods with a lot of fillers like corn or grains which occurs mostly in cheap pet food.

Always opt for a premium medium priced pet food. Cheap foods have nothing but fillers and overly expensive brands don't  necessarily provide everything your pet needs.

Alternate between dry and wet foods. Feeding only wet food only may cause dental problems in your pets. Feeding only dry food may cause urinary problems in your pets.

Always check labels on how much you need to feed based on the weight of your pet.

Feed more or less depending on your pet's healthy body composition. Never overfeed!

Raw Food

Good for pets with allergies. Can track if your pet has certain reactions to certain foods.

Always check with a veterinarian  before attempting a raw food diet to insure your pet gets everything it needs nutritionally. Do your research!

Add veggies, fruit and grains to give your pet a balanced diet.

Be careful with bones specifically avoid bird and pork which may splinter.

Always boil questionable meat if you think is necessary.

Do not feed spoiled, rotten meat or roadkill to your pet! These could make your pet sick from disease or parasites.

Table Scraps, Human Food

The occasional food scrap maybe okay but never base your pet's diet just on table scraps.

Your pet can easily become overweight from eating to much human food.

Your pet can develop bad habits like begging, grabbing food off the table or out of your hand, etc.

Some foods like chocolate are poisonous to your pet and could kill your pet.

A table food scrap diet is just plain unhealthy for your pet. Avoid if at all possible.

Feed Your Pet A Healthy Diet And You Will Enjoy Your Furry Friend For More Years To Come.
