It is important to understand animal nutrition so that you don’t poison your dog

Would you ever purposely poison your dogs? Pet owners would automatically answer that of course they would never poison their animals. However, that is exactly what you are doing if you do not take proper animal nutrition into account when planning your dog’s diets. Good animal nutrition is essential if you want the healthiest animals possible, but dog foods that are sold in supermarkets and pet food stores do not take this fact into consideration.

Feeding your dog a homemade dogfood, allows you to know exactly what you are feeding him, and that you are not poisoning him with unfit for human consumption ingredients loaded with preservatives. The commercial dry and canned foods that are on the market are loaded with cereal grains, known to cause health problems and allergies in dogs. When the proper animal nutrition is not being met, your animal may suffer from conditions such as dry flaky skin, itching, hotspots, arthritis, and even cancer. The grains can contribute to a “yeasty” dog, making him a target for fleas. These foods are also cooked, destroying enzymes necessary for good digestion. Lack of enzymes in the diet may leave the pancreas vulnerable to pancreatitis later in life.

So feed your pet a variety of fresh food, prepared using raw, uncooked ingredients, and you will ensure that he is receiving proper animal nutrition. Dogs were designed to eat a diet based on raw meaty bones, raw meat and raw vegetables. When these dietary requirements are met you will notice how healthy and youthful your dog will be.
