Natural Dog Food Tips

[russell joyce]

Looking for the best natural dog food? Here are 6 tips to help you
find the best natural dog food for your pet.
1. READ the labels and especially pay attention to the first 5-7
ingredients on the list. These ingredients make up the majority of the
the food. These ingredients need to be whole foods and preferably more
protein than grains.
2. Stay away from any dog food that uses the word "by products". Some
commercial pet food companies advertise" natural dog food" and use "by
products". For example, rather than using whole chicken, they have
substituted by products like chicken heads, feet, and intestines.
These by products are indeed "natural" but they are not good for your
dog.
3. Stay away from dog foods that have corn, wheat gluten, dairy and
soy in them. Soy has been associated with bloating and gas in dogs.
Wheat and corn have been associated with allergies in dogs.
4. Look for a natural dog food that is additive and preservative free.
Stay away from any so called "natural" dog food that contains BHA or
BHT. These are chemical preservatives that are not good for your
dog....
