Improve Your Dog's Health With Gluten Free Dog Food

[Tamara Hamilton]

Protein provides the basic building blocks for any diet that is meant
to generate strong, lean muscle. But too many pet foods are loaded
down with gluten, which adds heaviness and bulk that is harder on the
digestive system but does not convert into naturally useful proteins.
Rather than tax the digestion of a dog, many educated pet owners are
instead switching from ordinary dog food to special gluten free dog
food. It is easier for the dog to digest it is also better for the
animal's overall health.
Reputable brands of gluten free dog food provide all the necessary and
essential amino acids, proteins, and other key ingredients that go
into a balanced and nutritious doggy diet - without the potential
harmful and physically taxing levels of unwanted gluten found in
inferior dog foods.
These healthier dog foods might use, for example, healthy ingredients
such as sunflower oil, fish, and fish meal that is rich in beneficial
omega three fatty acids. Other main ingredients in better dog foods
are chicken and lamb, which can be complimented by flaxseed, alfalfa
meal, and various herbs such as rosemary.
Gluten is the elastic part of the wheat or other type of grain that
feels thick and starchy. Many animals are sensitive to it, and because
it is rather gummy in its texture gluten can be much harder to break
down and successfully digest within the body. Gluten is actually
commonly used as a powerful binder and thickener by manufacturers of
products like soups and artificial cheeses. So some people say that
eating it is like eating a paste or adhesive, and that has obvious
drawbacks for your dog.
Some canines also suffer from diseases like celiac disease, and for
those dogs gluten in any form can be toxic, creating an adverse
reaction within the digestive tract. To avoid this kind of problem
while also ensuring that your dog has a first-class diet, ask your
local pet store to show you their gluten free dog food selections and
offer recommendations for your pet.
