Choosing the appropriate dog food and dog treats is critical in to the health and well being of your dog. Are you buying food for a puppy? An overweight dog? A dog with skin allergies? Knowing your dog’s nutritional needs will ensure your best buddy enjoys the “dogs” life they deserve!
Recent recalls include dog food. Not all manufacturers were affected by this recall Merrick 5 Star, Solid Gold, Rotations, Pinnacle, Health Food for Dogs and Dogswell are examples of dog food manufacturers whose products were not affected by the contaminated dog food recall. Thankfully products affected were taken off the shelves and the recall is over.
Age and lack of exercise can cause a dog to gain too much weight. A healthy weight should reflect the build and size of the animal. Too much extra weight puts strains on organs and joints. Solid Gold Holistique Blendz® is an example of a food appropriate for older and overweight pet. Senior Dogs with pancreatic or kidney issues that require low levels of protein and fat and overweight dogs needing a low calorie diet will enjoy a delicious blend of ingredients including sesame and salmon oil, oatmeal, apples and cranberries.
Veterinarians recommend daily exercise for diabetic dogs and a diet to manage their insulin. A pet looks forward to treats and rewards and luckily diabetic pets can enjoy a treat that is in line with their diabetic regimen. The Old Dog Cookie Company Diabetic Cookies are all natural dog treats that contain herbs and ingredients that help reduces their blood sugar.
The Old Dog Cookie Company also makes Arthritic Relief Cookies. Ingredients like alfalfa and cod liver oil reduce the discomforts of arthritis. Many aging pets and large breeds like the Great Dane, Golden Retriever, Irish Wolfhound and Akita can suffer from arthritis. Arthritis symptoms may increase with age or the joint pain, inflammation and stiffness may develop during old age.
Food allergies are common among many breeds. Wheat, corn and soy based food can cause itchy skin, hair loss, and frequent bowel movements in a dog with an allergy to these products. Pinnacle Holistic Trout & Sweet Potato dry dog food with Omega 6 and 3 fatty acids for a healthier skin and coat contains no allergens such as corn, wheat, rice, barley, sorghum or soy.
Be aware that preservatives and pesticides in food are known to cause allergic reactions. In addition all natural dog foods made with human-grade ingredients are a good choice for allergic dogs as well. Reading the ingredients label on a can or bag of dog food is necessary to ensure that your they are receiving high quality food.
Diet, exercise and sleep are the essential components of living well. Healthy dog food and nutritional treats formulated for your pet’s needs will keep their mind and bodies in fit condition.
Making your mind up what kind of dog food and dog treats are suitable for your dog is as vital as selecting what to feed your family. Joanne Gallagher is an authority on canine nutrition and recommends visiting Jake’s Dog House for healthy dog treats that are not only nutritious, but fun for your dog.
