Traditionally dogs are considered to be carnivorous, and that is not really so. It is more correct to say predator. When eating mammals dogs eat not only meat, but also bones and bowels and thus they get minerals (calcium, phosphorus). Moreover, carbohydrates and mineral salts. So, no wonder pet food should correspond to this composition as much as possible. Good dog food consists of: - meat (and this really means meat, not "meat and byproducts of animal origin"). Also, there should be indicated type of meat. For example, chicken or beef.- maximum 50% (better if 25-3-%) of cereals and/or vegetables;- a long list of vitamins and minerals;- natural preservatives. Dog food mustn't contain:- low quality sources of protein (for example, minced beef skin);- chemical preservatives and antioxidants (Ethoxyquin, , , Propylgallate);- coloring agents;- sugar, caramel;- shallow fillers such as nut shells, cellulose. They have no useful elements that can be used by organism. Moreover, they can cause serious problems with digestion. Today there are hundreds of companies that offer a wide range of food for dogs. There are two kinds of it: dry and wet food. The first one is convenient as it doesn't get spoiled for a long time (especially it's good for dog owners who leave their pets for a long time), and the second one resembles real meat. Well, it depends on owner's lifestyle, budget and dog's food preferences what food to choose. Manufacturers of dog food provide products for not mobile dogs, dogs with certain health problems etc. About half of dogs' problems with health are connected with food. Owners should think twice before buying dog food. If you are not sure what dog food to choose, here are some tips that will help you to make a right choice. First of all carefully read the list of all ingredients. Make sure there are no forbidden elements that can damage your pet's health. Don't forget to consult with a vet before buying dog food . Doctor will ask you several questions, find out the total health state of your dog, ask about pet's level of activity and then will help to choose food that fits your little buddy the most. Do not buy huge packs of dog food at a time. Definitely, this is convenient and allows saving money, but there is a chance your pet will not like it. If time allows you cooking for your pet that will be the best solution. Not a single pet food can replace natural products. If your schedule is irregular, you can sometimes pamper your little friend with pet food. Remember that dry food is not really healthy and it's bad for the liver. Wet food is much better, so if your pet likes it, it's more preferable. Ask other dog owners what dog food they buy. It's quite possible that you will get many pieces of useful advice.
