It's More Complicated Than Simply Buying Dog Food

Saturday, August 1, 2009
We always want the best dog food for our pets, but some of us are not aware of the proper ways of choosing the best food for our dogs. You don't just go to the grocery store and pick the first pack you see there.

Not all commercially produced dog food is good for our canine friends. Some companies are unscrupulous enough that all they want is to earn profits even if the dog food they produce are of extremely low quality.

It's all in the advertising and marketing of the product. I believe that and so do many dog owners. But how do we know if the food we are buying is good for our dogs? One obvious way is to read the label. Let's make it a habit to read the ingredients. If we find that there are so many artificial flavorings, let's skip that pack.

Another is to ask experienced dog breeders and owners what food they are using. Especially if you have a specific purebred pet, ask other owners of that breed what food they are giving their dogs. Chances are it will also work best for your pet.
