During his research, Veterinarian Alfred Plechner found that chemical preservatives cause the same hyperactivity problems in pets as they do in children. Avoid BHT, BHA or Ethoxyquin in any food! The best possible diet for dogs includes three basic food ingredients. A combination of meat as the primary source of protein along with fruits/vegetables and whole grains (not refined grains) in limited amounts should be the food sources for optimal dog nutrition. Unless directed by a Veterinarian, meat should always be the primary ingredient in any dogs diet (many Vets say to exclude pork) whether you purchase commercial food or you make your own dog food at home. Fruits and vegetables should be second, followed by cooked whole grains such as brown rice, millet, barley or oat bran. Grains should be limited to small amounts. Many people have a hard time understanding the importance of their dog's nutrition and unfortunately get caught up in the hype of expensive ad campaigns, commercials and glamorous packaging. Since kibbles pretty much look the same no matter what the brand and human beings are visual creatures, bad choices are often made when it comes to their pets nutrition. We recommend raw foods that already include all the necessary nutrients as a convenience for dog owners. Some brands offer a rotation diet using all three food forms; raw, canned and dry. Don't forget to include all natural dog treats as well. No matter what your dog's age, he/she can benefit from this type of diet. Research has found that it's best to feed your dog several meals a day vs once a day. A combination of all natural kibble, all natural canned and a balanced form of raw frozen food provides a well balanced diet for most dogs. You should see plenty of change in your dog after a few months or even weeks. Feeding your dog a cheap dog food is the equivalent of feeding him birdseed, it has no nutritional value at all and chances are your dog is "hungry". Don't be fooled by fancy advertising, if it's cheap, it's garbage.
