Pet Nutrition

Knowing what your pet is eating is important for every pet owner. However, dog food manufactures make labels that can be confusing even to savvy pet owners.

Dry dog food has been recommended as the best diet for dogs, however this is quite untrue. While dry dog food can be included in your dog's diet in a limited way, most products are very high in simple carbohydrates, relatively low in protein and of inferior nutritional quality. Furthermore, it is very bad for dogs to eat food that doesn't contain natural moisture.

Most of us know that feeding our cat is not really a chore at all. Dump the food in a big bowl or dish, and the cat will eat when it's ready. Unlike a dog, cats tend to not overeat and therefore are more easily manageable than most other house pets.

Here are some tips on how to maintain a healthy diet for your kitty.

Wish your sweet dog could live forever? Well, forever might be a stretch, but you can often add years to a dog's life just by taking a more holistic approach to your canine companion's care.

Canines, like carnivores, can devour large meals after a hunt, and, thanks to the digestive function, can then leisurely wait until the next meal opportunity arises.

The great dog food debate- the good the bad and the ugly. How does one choose? If you follow your television you may believe that the companies that advertise on there have foods full of tasty meat and chock full of great vitamins and minerals, but is it true? Not so much. In the world of dog food it is buyers beware, yet the average person picking up a supermarket brand of dog food is unaware of the hazard. This does not make them bad owners they are simply uninformed owners. Who knew you needed to research dog food more diligently than your own food?

BARF is an acronym for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food and also for Bones And Raw Food.  It is a diet that contains no fillers, chemicals, colouring, preservatives, heat processing or grains.  Instead, it consists of raw bones, meat, and veggies.  Some people also add vitamins and other supplements to the diet.  The BARF diet has been shown to help improve dogs health by helping with skin problems, weight problems, bad breath, gas, food allergies, and by increasing immune system function and longevity of life.
