Understanding dog food ingredients

Understanding dog food ingredients
Understanding the ingredients of your dog's food items is a must for the dog lovers or dog owners. Whenever you feed the dog with different kinds of food items, you should always read the label and understand the contents about the dog feed types that are being used in such commercial preparations. You should understand the ingredients while buying your dog food and also know what to look for dog food.

Feed items include dry and fresh food. The fresh dog food that is prepared in homes generally consists of ingredients like freshly cut chicken pieces in addition to the cranberry juices, blue-green algae, etc.
If you come across any different kinds of preservatives in the dog food and if the dog develops all of a sudden signs pertaining to the dog food allergy, suspect the unwanted ingredient in the feed items given. Similarly, understand about the moisture status. If the dog food item is having more moisture, then the dog may prefer this as well.
Beet pulp, pasta, Soy bean oil, wheat middlings, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, copper sulphate, iron sulphate, zinc oxide, choline chloride, etc. are often the ingredients in case of vegetarian based diet items offered to the pet animals like dogs. [dog food]
Raw egg, chicken, beef, mutton, fish, quail etc. are often the preferred ingredients in case of dog food diets that are prepared on the basis of the non-vegetarian items. Taurine is one of the essential ingredients for the dog’s nutrition. Like wise, in the case of dogs feed with frozen fish items, the vitamin called thiamine needs to be supplemented as an ingredient.

Many premium type of dog food preparations contain essential fatty acids, carbohydrates with adequate fiber contents, vitamins like A, D, E and B complex vitamins.
Furthermore, minerals like zinc, is an essential ingredient for skin health status and calcium,
which is an essential ingredient for bone growth, tonicity of muscles. They should be enriched in these dog food items. However, the cost of those dog food preparations are comparatively more expensive than the dog food preparations with general ingredients. Though it may be better for your dog's health.

Hi Marina,

Thanks for stopping by at There's Something About Harry.

You have a great concept for a blog here. Great little niche topic to cover.

Drop me a line when you have a few more articles. I'm in the early stages of building an online magazine/directory and would be interested in featuring your feed in the directory, which could generate some more traffic for you, and help your PR too.

Let me know if you need any help with the blog. I do blog reviews for Blogger Review and give tips, advice and much more in many other forums.

Keep it up you have a great start->Excellent banner by the way. :)
