We always want our dog to have good health, and a long and happy life.
There are so many things we could contribute in achieving that goal.
Dog food is the most important that focus on. Have you ever wonder
what if we are feeding our dog the wrong food in long term, it could
harm them and worst case our pet could die young. It often happens but
don't worry you just need to know how to feed your dogs right.
Here are several things that you need to know about feeding your
dogs :
1. Supplements are "okay", only if....
If your dog has passive physical activity (sleep too much , rarely
taken out for a walk ), or simply undergoing a stressful routine
change. But giving too much supplement is not good for your dog, you
have to give it in proper proportion. If you don't know how, it may
cause temperament problem (because of kidney disorder)
2. No Bone anymore!
Our dog has different type of digestion. They have short digestive
tracts. A small bone eaten by dogs could cause them to choke, they
have no amylase (an enzyme that is use to predigest starch).
3. No more raw eggs!
If you feed them with raw eggs regularly, you will make their skin
breakout. In dog's body, there are biotin that are useful for dog skin
health,but the problem is raw eggs destroys the biotin, and the result
could lead to hair lost.
4. No more raw fish!
Raw fish can cause weaken your dog stamina, can cause an abnormal
posture and even death in several cases.
5. Meat protein diets to vegetable protein diets.
Meat protein are easily be found in beef pork,chicken turkey and
others. Vegetable protein diets are much better than the meat protein
diets because it is easily digest by dog and it gives off more energy
to the dogs.
6. Keep watch of their fat
The right proportion of fats, will result a good skin. But too much
fat, will have a bad effect in kidney, reproductive health, obesity
and lethargy.
7. Make sure they get enough carbohydrates
A balance diet program is good. Make sure they get carbohydrates for
their energy. Corn is one of the best source of carbohydrates.
8. Don't feed your dog too regularly.
That can get him into the routine of expecting to eat at those times.
and could lead to weight gain. Letting him get hungry and feeding
sensibly.
9. Don't give your dog a chocolate or any kind of high fat diet or
junk food. That is not health for your dog.
10. Say "No" to commercial dog food.
Stop using commercial dog food as your dog's only or main source of
food. This step is the most important and you should make the change
in the next couple of days. But you can't make this change unless you
have a good alternative plan in place.
11. Make your dog home made food
Get some healthy, well-balanced dog food recipes and start feeding
your dog home made food. But be sure you have a good source of recipes
written especially for dogs because they have very specific
requirements, different to humans.
Give what best for your dog.
