For many years commercial brand
dog food has been very popular with pet owners due to a number of reasons and
one of them being is that it’s a ready made meal which you can feed your dog and
save time preparing homemade dog food recipes but the question is are we being fair to
our dog and is it really healthy? Today we look at commercial brand and
homemade dog food to identify which is really the best for our dogs.
Commercially branded dog food I
classify as “Fast Food” so it cannot be healthy as one thinks, they contain
ingredients such as meat
from dead, dying, diseased and disabled animals which include intestines
amongst other waste, chemicals and preservatives. With such content your dog is
most likely going to end up with bad health which will result in higher medical
bills, so in the long run you will have one sick dog and will be hit hard in
the pocket also. I am sure you would not appreciate eating such things yourself
so ask yourself is it really fair your furry friend should.It’s not that all
commercial products are bad for your dog there are also good ones as well that
provide good quality and a balanced diet for your dog so you just need to do a
bit of research to see what is available on the shelf that is healthy for your
dog. But do remember the cheaper the food the cheaper the ingredients.
My personal and most pet owners choice is homemade dog food recipes and to be honest it takes less time (approx. 10-15 minutes) to prepare
homemade dog food than it would take preparing your own food, also with
preparing your own homemade dog food you have the option of using fresh and
healthy ingredients such as meat/vegetables even fruit so you know that your
dog is getting a good and healthy diet. So homemade dog food is always a winner
for you and your furry friend.
