In order to find a good restaurant or a good movie, many times we look at the ratings that are given by others in order to determine how good it is. Looking at ratings also helps when we are looking for a good brand of dog food to give our beloved pet. However, are the ratings of dog food a good way to determine if the food is really healthy?
Typically, you can find ratings and reviews on dog food given by websites, veterinarians, and others. These individuals look at several things when offering their opinions on whether the dog food receives a high rating or not. One thing that they look at is the ingredients on the label. But, what some do not realize is that dog food manufacturers are supplied with a huge array of loopholes that allows them to make their product sound better and healthier then it actually is. For instance, manufactures list the ingredients on the label by weight first. In doing so, consumers are unaware of which ingredients are dehydrated. Often times, the content of the inferior dehydrated ingredient is more then the better quality ingredient. Manufactures also split their ingredients in order to divide the higher volume of inferior ingredients. Corn can be split up into corn meal and corn flour for example.
Another way to decipher whether a dog food is high quality is to understand the wording on its package. The word "with" means that the product contains no less than three percent of the named ingredient. The word "flavor" means that there is no actual minimum percentage for the named ingredient. The said ingredient can be anything from a by product to broth or stock.
When rating food for your dog, it can be complicated if you do not understand the guidelines that the manufactures must follow. Many dog owners today are realizing that giving their dogs a high quality diet is much easier when they feed their dogs homemade meals. Dogs are like people in that they prefer to have variety in their diets. By following dog food recipes that can be made at home, you can give your dog the variety of foods they crave. You can be sure that all of your ingredients are high quality because they are supplied by you. Plus, dog owners are finding that creating dog food recipes from scratch is easier then they anticipated. They are able to control their dog's weight better and are noticing that their dogs are feeling fuller longer. Once you can alter your dog's digestive system to become accustomed to healthier, quality food, their digestion improves and slows.
There are many ways to pamper our pooches in today's society. However, dogs do not understand fashion or the price of their leather collar. No, the best way to pamper your pooch is through their stomach by improving their health with homemade dog food recipes. You will love what an everyday diet of quality dog food will do for your dog and your dog will love you for it!
