How Does Your Dogfood Compare? How does your dogfood compare to what others are feeding their dogs? Commercial dog food consists of kibble also known as dry food, or canned food. Commercial food is grain based and cooked and most brands are not made with human grade ingredients. Wysong dog food is made with human grade ingredients and may include organic ingredients when available. However, Dr. Wysong will be the first veterinarian to suggest that the best dog food is a raw prey diet.
Raw dog food has become popular in the last few years and because there are many ways to feed dog food raw, you may be wondering how different styles of feeding raw dogfood compare. Some people feed grains including cooked oats and rice. Other people even add pasta to their raw food. These diets are better than commercially prepared foods because you know what ingredients are included, but these foods are more difficult to digest than diets without grains.
At the other end of the spectrum from commercially prepared food is a raw prey diet, and there are different ways of feeding a raw prey diet too. Have you ever wondered how these ways of feeding dogfood compare? Some people do not feed their dogs vegetables, claiming that wolves do not eat them as part of their diet in the wild, although stomach contents of their prey would contain vegetation. Others feed vegetables along with bones and raw food because vegetables balance the nutrients that meat and bones provide. For dogs requiring a lower protein diet, the addition of vegetables is an ideal way of doing that. Although a prey style diet is the most natural way to feed your dog, remember that there is no perfect way to feed a dog and that feeding a variety of raw foods ensures that you are feeding your dog healthy pet food. |
