Canine nutrition for dog 2006-09-10 22:44:00
There would be innumerable number of articles on dog food available on the internet and you must think that there is nothing left that has not been said but just read this article and you would have to take back your words.
Like all living creatures, dogs need a combination of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water in a balanced diet that provides sufficient calories to meet their daily needs for growth, activity, and repair. The claim on a bag of dog food that it is a complete food means nothing unless the nutrients are in a form available for absorption into the dog's systems. For example, since cellulose and hemicellulose of plant cells cannot be digested in raw form by dogs, food based solely on grains for a source of protein and carbohydrates must be processed in a manner that allows the dog's digestive system to extract these nutrients.

As people have become more conscious of the amount of meat in their own diets, they have also begun to wonder about meat in Buster's dinner. Some folks have switched from beef and are looking for a dog food with little or no beef, so companies have responded with chicken, lamb, turkey, or venison-based foods. Some owners want a vegetarian diet for their dogs, and a couple of small companies provide such a diet. Others have a bee in their bonnet about by-products or organic carbohydrate sources, and manufacturers have accommodated them, too.
By-products are frequently described as unfit for human consumption as if they were contaminated. By-products fall into several categories: parts of the animal that people prefer not to eat, such as organs, feathers, feet, beaks, and wool; parts that are forbidden to Read more:Concern

It is our sincere hope that you find all that you wanted about dog food in the following article. Just savor the information provided and make use of it.
BARF A few years ago, a book by Australian veterinarian Ian Billinghurst urged pet owners to turn away from commercial diets and prepare their own raw food meals for pets. Based on the knowledge that wild canids eat raw food, Billinghurst promoted BARF - a bones and raw food diet - as healthier for dogs than any commercial diet.
Ingredients in raw food diets include whole chicken or fish carcasses or parts (chicken necks and backs are popular); yogurt; raw eggs; and leftover fruit and vegetables. Grains are forbidden. Advocates assert that raw food diets increase energy, improve longevity, and fix everything from doggy odor to arthritis.
There is much controversy over raw food diets, including debate over the use of dairy products for adult dogs, the safety of feeding bones, and the potential for illness from parasites and high fat
