Pet owners should take some time to read the ingredients label on the kibble that is being fed to their pets. Most dry kibble contains many ingredients that were never intended for your pet to eat. Raw dog food does not contain any corn, wheat or other grain fillers that can cause problems for your best friend. Just as humans feel better when they switch to natural foods, so do the pets.
Dogs are usually fussy eaters due to the foods set in front of them. These unnatural foods for the pet can rob him of energy and health. Most of the pet foods purchased at the local stores are not made from the foods that dogs crave and need. Even if the pet quickly consumes the kibble that placed in front of him, he may not be getting the

Pets eating these foods have smaller stools that are firmer. Cleanup of the yard is easier and smell is virtually eliminated. After a few days, the stools will dry to a white powder that decomposes in the grass.
Pets eating uncooked meats and bones have healthier teeth and gums. As a result, they have better smelling breath. Chewing uncooked bones is a healthy way to increase strength of the teeth and provides needed calcium for strong bones and teeth. Avoid cooked bones as they may splinter and create a health risk for the dogs.
Dogs switched from the inferior kibble diets to alternatives that are more natural, they will have more natural. Dogs are healthier with much more vitality. This diet can benefit every breed, but dogs that are of the working classes or sporting dogs will benefit most from these diets.

Semi-moist dog food accounts for only 2% of the total dog food market. It comes in either chunk of patty form and contains 75% solid materials and 25% moisture. They also don't require refrigeration and are produced to look tempting to the human eye. Kibbles and Bits is the well-defined leader of this category, accounting for 69% of the semi-moist dog food share.
These treats are made from dehydrated lamb lung, which sounds nasty to me, but the dogs love it. Because they're so rich, they're better used as an occasional treat or for training purposes. Good for both cats and dogs.
Ann Hodgman’s essay “No Wonder They Call Me a B@#*H” is about an experiment when Hodgman ate canned and dry dog food. When she was a young girl, she always wondered if dogs’ food tasted like humans’ food. Since the food was so bad, Hodgman understood why her dogs’ breath smelled so bad. Companies that make dog food advertise real meats in the food, but sadly it is just poultry by-products. Therefore, dog food it is made from parts of an animal, not the animals’ meat. Hodgman explains that the different dog foods were either hard, soft, noncook able, or unpleasant to the eye. Dogs eat different foods as they grow; therefore, Hodgman tried every stage of dog food, and each looked and tasted different. Treats for dogs taste better; just like treats
There are plenty of diets which are used today some are proven to be healthy while some
I have always thought it never mattered what kind of food animals got. Once I read Cat and Dog Food Differences Explained, I learned many things about the nutrients and foods that cats and dogs need. According to the article, cats will not eat food off the floor. A cat will paw and sniff at the food on the floor before rejecting it (Viegas). Dr. Allan Paul states, cats have higher protein needs than dogs do. He also states, cats use protein for an energy source. Cat food contains more than 30 percent of protein. They need extra protein to satisfy their requirements for energy. Vitamin A is a key ingredient for a cat to have in their food. Watson says, meat is the only source cats can get their acids. Cats like food that has a texture to it (Viegas). From what I gathered, dogs are very different when it comes to food. Dogs will eat off the floor and right out of your hand. Dr. Allan Paul says dog food contains 20 to 25 percent of protein. Dogs can get their acids two ways. They can get their source through meats and vegetable oil. Watson states, dogs can convert beta-carotene for their vitamin A

Supplementing your dog’s diet with additional calcium during pregnancy is NOT recommended as this increases the likelihood of eclampsia or milk fever (a deficiency of calcium in blood).
Most average, everyday people believe that eating animals is an okay thing to do; however some think otherwise. As for me, personally, I believe that eating animals is fine, just don't overdo it. You see, eating meat every once in a while is perfectly natural, but I don't think we should consume it every day. Once or twice a week in moderation is a normal, healthy amount of meat to eat.
According to the ASPCA data 70-80 millions dogs are owned in the United States alone, which means that approximately 37%-47% of all households in the U.S. have a dog in their home. Many of pet owners consider them their family members and treat them accordingly. And as for every family member the owners want what is best for their loved ones. That includes a careful selection of food they pick. However, it is not always easy to recognize harmful ingredients in the food packages. With that many pets in the U.S some well-known companies that manufacture food for our four-legged companions use cheap and harmful products. One such company is Royal Canin. The company has been under attack lately for the use of controversial ingredients in their
The eating of companion animals is a taboo, but dog is not the only companion animal. I believe Foer stops at dogs to preserve the man’s best friend angle. Foer sites research that shows dogs have very similar mental capacities of a pig, cow, and chicken. Ethos kicks in due to the fact that researchers say dogs have mental capacities similar to other animals, yet people think it is immoral to kill dogs but moral to kill chickens, cows, or pigs; Furthermore, Foer states “if we let dogs breed on their own, the country would have a local meat s...
Natural foods are described as whole foods that are grown in gardens, and are unprocessed and unrefined. The downside of natural foods is that they have a shorter shelf life then processed foods. These foods are authentically flavorful, have vibrant colors, and rich textures. "Moreover, they are full of the micronutrient vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and fiber. Typically, they require longer preparation times. In contrast, they receive very little media advertising, and are not well funded with government...
