Are you wondering . . .
- Which foods should my dog or puppy have?
- How much should I feed him?
- Which food items should I NEVER feed my dog?
You can safely give your dog most normal lamb and rice combinations. This not only takes care of the nutritional needs of your dog, it reduces the risk of allergies and other health disorders.
There are a lot of dog foods available today. First learn to read the label. Ingredients are listed in descending order by percentage. Therefore, the first 3-4 ingredients make up the bulk of the food content.
The first ingredient should be meat and should be listed by exactly what kind of meat. For example, it should say “chicken meal” rather than “poultry meal” or “lamb meal” and not “meat meal” as the terms poultry and meat can indicate it is any kind of bird or any kind of meat and may or may not have come from a controlled environment.
Meats should simply be the kind of meat or meal and not a by-product. By-products can cause diarrhea and do not have much nutritional value.
Lower quality foods have a higher proportion of grains. It takes a lot more grain to provide the nutritional needs of a dog than meat and vegetable products would take. This means that, while the bag of food is cheaper, you will be feeding more of it each day, so you will be buying more of it.
Also, the more grain that is in the food (and the more of it that is fed), the more feces will be produced. That will be a problem for a dog that cannot go to his potty place throughout the day. His bowels may be very full and he may be unable to get to his potty place, causing “accidents” and a very upset dog. Other problems with high-grain content foods are molds and mold spores which can cause many health dangers to your dog. Bloating, a life-threatening situation, is especially common with a high corn content. Excessive energy for a couple of hours will also occur immediately after eating.
