Dog Food Comparisons: Organic vs All Natural
Which is better: organic dog food or all natural? Dog food comparisons can show what is different between the two types of dog food, but only your dog can determine which is best for them.
Can Cheap Dog Food Be Healthy?
I was recently asked if a cheap dog food can be healthy. The answer for the most part is ‘no’. Dog food is made cheaply by using lots of low quality and by-product ingredients.
Are The Best Dog Foods All Natural?
My friends know all about my healthy obsession with healthy dog food and ask me what are the best dog foods. Should they be all natural dog foods, or maybe holistic? There is a lot of confusion just in the naming of foods alone. I have a fairly good grasp on it and it still makes my head spin!
Organic Dog Food Comparison
I decided to do an organic dog food comparison. There is a lot of controversy over what is considered an organic dog food. Although the organic definitions and guidelines are stricter than other labeling on dog foods, there is still room for confusion. Therefore, as always, Buyer Beware – look at the ingredients in your dog food before buying to be sure of what you are getting.
The Aftermath of the Dog Food Recall
In 2007 healthy dogs and cats started dying. No one really knows how many pet needlessly died, but finally, there was a dog food recall. The killer was an non-food ingredient called melamine, that was used to cheaply boost protein in the dog food. This was definitely the largest recall affecting a large number of dog food labels, but there have been other dog food recalls before this one (possible problems caused from BHA preservative in 2003 and aflatoxin contamination in 2005). And there have been other dog food recalls since (salmonella from contaminated peanut butter in 2009).
Understanding Hypoallergenic Dog Food
What exactly is a hypoallergenic dog food? Will it automatically cure all your dog’s food allergies? Although a good, quality food will not cure anything, it will help boost the immune system and keep your dog healthier.
What Makes For A Premium Dog Food?
There are so many ‘categories’ of dog food out there. Premium dog food, super-premium, organic, holistic, all natural, …. So what should you feed your dog? Is a premium dog food good enough?
Is Raw Dog Food Dangerous?
With the massive pet food recalls in the past few years, pet owners have been taking a closer look at their dog food. And a lot of people have been turning to a healthy, homemade or raw dog food over commercial dog food. Why? Because then you know exactly what is in your dog’s food. It’s food you get from your grocery store or butcher. But is feeding raw dog food to your dog dangerous?
All Natural Dog Food – Hype or Hope?
It’s hard to go down the pet aisle in the stores without seeing several brands of natural and all natural dog food. But are these terms hype or hope? It certainly seems like these days, our pets have more medical problems than ever before – from allergies to food intolerance to arthritis. I just don’t remember any of my dogs as I was growing up having any of these problems. Perhaps they did and we just didn’t notice, but dogs weren’t immediate members of the family like they are now – they were pets, that’s it, just pets.
The Truth Behind Human Grade Dog Food
In the store the other day I saw a bag of human grade dog food. Curious, and always on the lookout for good, nutritious food for my dogs, I went over and took a look. After researching dog foods for over a year now, I get very nervous and distrusting when I see something that is trying really hard to get my attention.
