Healthy Dog Food

By Frank Williams

The requirement of healthy food seems to apply equally to people and their pets, because many animal owners prefer to buy organic foods to feed man's best friend. One could be forgiven for being surprised at the large variety of organic dog food on offer on the market. Just like for humans, there are a lot of pet illnesses that one could cure or even prevent in the first place by the use of organic pet food.

For instance, organic dog food could reduce the risk of the pet developing skin diseases and allergies. The explanation for the positive health impact is the absence of additives, chemicals, colourants and pesticides. Instead there are just grain extracts and high quality proteins for ingredients in organic dog food. Organic dog food also provides more nutrients, which is reflected in the higher levels of energy and the normal weight of the pet.

Regular dog food can cause diabetes and excess weight with all the concomitant problems that accompany these illnesses: back ailment, organ failure and decreased mobility. How can organic dog food help here, then? Well, because organic pet food does not contain bulk filler; they are nutrient-packed products that create energy not fat. Moreover, it is far better and definitely a lot easier to prevent health problems than try to treat them later.

A more efficient digestion and a stronger immunity system are the other main benefits that come with the feeding of organic dog food. Because of the lack of chemicals normally mixed in regular pet food, your dog will no longer vomit or experience wind or diarrhea. A more efficient is what will result from a healthy diet. Furthermore, the quality of the nutritional substances in organic dog food, enhances the immunity functions, thereby reducing the risks of infection and all sorts of specific diseases that affect dogs on an everyday basis.

Many veterinarian experts claim that organic dog food significantly increases the life span of any animal, not to mention the fact that it will go through old age a lot better. It is quite common that pet owners who choose organic dog food, are also interested in applying the same health rules to their own diet, sticking to clean natural products that boost bodily functions and avoid toxins and disease.

Ask your dog food provider about organic dog food and if there is none available in your local shop, try to order it online. There are plenty of web sites that offer such products at pretty decent prices.

One last tip, be very, very careful with dried dog food like biscuits, no matter what the label says. A few years ago, I had a dog called Becky that remained at home alone during the day, while I went to work. I didn't like to leave her tinned food, because of flies, bacteria and vermin, so I bought dry food, which would not deteriorate during the day. However, within six years she had gotten diabetes, which meant that I had to inject her with insulin every morning. Sometimes, she would have a fit. The veterinary said that it was quite common for dogs fed only on dry biscuits to get diabetes, so check the food with your vet first or feed organic tin food.
