Most of the dog owners even don't know about the ingredients that are included in the food they feed to their dogs. It is a very important matter to know because 8 out of 10 diseases in dogs occur due to lack of nutritious diets. So, here I am going to give some useful information on different types of ingredients that should be avoided as much as possible.
Grains: The grains such as wheat gluten and corn should be strictly avoided because they are the key allergens to the dogs.
Food coloring: Yellow-6 should be avoided because it causes tumors in animals.
Fats: If the dog food industry has not disclosed the animal source, then probably it's from 4Ds which include dead, diseased, dying and disabled animals. Avoid these kinds of foods as well.
Fiber: Cheaper fillers like corn bran, oat hulls, soybean, rice hulls and wheat mill run along with cellulose should be strictly avoided because they are not the part of natural dog food.
Fruits: Fruits are beneficial for dog's health but some fruits should be strictly avoided as it may harm them. Grapes are one such fruits which have no positive effect towards dog's health.
Flavorings: If you look at the label of the food pack, then you may see that it is made from enzymatic hydrolysis of undecomposed animal tissue along with 4Ds, if the animal sources are not disclosed. So, avoid them and get some natural food for your little friend.
Preservatives: Avoid BHT and BHA which have been already banned in most of the countries. The worst one is ethoxyquin which is actually a rubber stabilizer. So, avoid these kinds of preservatives as good food doesn't contain any of these.
Other Supplements: Little amount of salt, yeast and mineral oil is fine but if their amount is increased, then it may cause harm to dog's health.
Sweeteners: Sweeteners aren't bad for dogs but if they become addicted to them, then it might get difficult to feed them with their usual foods. So, avoid sweeteners as much as possible.
There are lots of other ingredients too which should be either minimal or completely avoided. For feeding your dog with healthy food, there are some good and natural dog foods such as:
