Americans are overweight. We hear it every day. Even the American dog is obese. Why is that? Don’t dog foods provide our pets balanced nutrition? Or are the commercial brands actually made up of bad food for dogs?
Why do so many Americans sit down on Tuesday night and watch “The Biggest Loser?” Is it because so many of us know we’re not living healthy life styles? It’s inspiring to see the participants change — In addition to a strict exercise program, they start eating healthy lean meats, fruits and vegetables, and they quit eating bad food.
How about the family pooch? She, too, is in need of a makeover. Most of our dogs have become obese. Lack of exercise and a poor diet are the cause. There are specific foods all dogs should avoid, like raisins, chocolate, chicken and fish bones, some nuts, etc., but these will be avoided with a proper diet. The problem is: Most of what our pets eat is really bad food for dogs.
The average dog eats commercial pet food two to three times a day. Did you know commercial dog food is filled with “meat meal” (or some other clever pseudonym) that is comprised of the rendered remains of euthanized dogs and cats? It’s true. Animal control centers, zoos, and even road departments send their dead animals to pet food companies to be rendered into meat meal.
If you aren’t bothered by the idea of your beloved pet eating dog and cat, consider this: Vets have warned for years that this food contains the residue of the very chemicals used to put down the animals. Even poison residues from flea collars and plastic bags have been routinely found.
It’s no wonder more and more people are rejecting the bad food for dogs in the brand names and choosing healthy alternative sources. Among the most popular is making natural, homemade dog food.
Do you think this is a good idea? Or do you think making natural homemade dog food would be too time consuming, too expensive, and too messy?
Making your own dog food at home doesn’t have to be a daily chore. Food can be made in batches and frozen. Dog food can be made along with the family meals, so it doesn’t have to be messy. And most folks discover the cost is less than buying commercial food.
There are many bad foods for dogs. Dog lovers everywhere have decided to quit feeding their pets the dangerous ingredients found in cans and bags of commercial dog food. Instead, they have started feeding their pets healthy natural homemade dog food. Your dog will love you for the lifestyle change that will make her a healthier, happier pet!
