In my book, Dog Dish Diet, I empower people to take their dog’s health in their own hands. Your dog may have different needs than others of his or her breed, or even be sensitive to food ingredients that their litter mates can happily eat. This isn’t any different than brothers or sisters having allergies to different foods. We all know family members that are are allergic to this or that, or gain weight super-easily if they eat too many “high glycemic” foods….grain products like chips, crackers,cookies, pizza, and bread.
Processed dog food contains meat, grains,fruit, and veggies in a mix that have been shown to meet the immediate nutritional needs of our pets. Many dogs do well on the “mix”, just as some people can eat almost anything. However if your pet has skin, ear, bowel,anal gland, urinary, or a seizure problem the ingredients in the diet may be contributing to or causing the problem. Heart disease, obesity, and diabetes and allergies are linked to food ingredients, why should it be any different in our pets?
I am convinced there is a disconnect between vets, breeders, pet food stores and owners that muddy the nutritional waters, and confuse the average owner. Dog Dish Diet will explain nutrition and will help you choose the type of food and ingredients that will keep your dog healthy and happy!
Next I will go over holistic, organic, and hypoallergenic types of dog foods and what the differences are.
