What’s for Dinner Tonight?
What does your dog’s diet consist of?
Did you know that corn, wheat, and soy are bad for your dog? Their systems don’t digest it well. Dogs are prone to all kinds of illnesses just like we are. That is why it is important to feed them a balanced diet. Yes dogs are carnivores and need quality meat, but they also like greens, berries, vegetables.
The grazing dog tells you lots about their diet needs. Lets look at the dogs first cousin the coyote. Some people believe that meat is all that is necessary for a dogs diet. In the wild the entire kill is consumed. This includes the prey's intestines and stomach, which are filled withe predigested vegetables and grains. Wild dogs and coyotes chew on plant matter in the wild. They naturally know which plants are healthy and digestible. The wild wolf is really an omnivore, eating grains, vegetation, and protein.
Dogs need and even crave chlorophyll, a potent detoxifier, purifier, and deodorizer. The lawn however is not the greens they should eat. It can not be digested. Broccoli, sprouts, string beans, peas, kale, and other green vegetables, when lightly steamed, are healthy and can be digested by your dog.
Take a look at the ingredients in your dogs dried food and canned meats. Is there meat or chicken by products? Or wheat, soy and corn? Preservatives? These ingredients are not healthy for your dog. I really don't understand why our dogs get such junk in their food. But when you learn this you can make informed choices for the welfare of your pet.
Our relationship with our canine friends has grown and evolved over the centuries. They provide irreplaceable emotional support for us with their kindness and unconditional love. It's time to give a gift to our furry friends to thank them for their good deeds. We can show our love in a way that they will so easily understand, food. Provide simple, easy, nourishing diets that, I hope, will be fun for you to prepare. It's time for a change, and a good one at that!
