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 food for your dog and also know what to look
for.
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 and if
the dog develops all of a sudden signs pertaining to the food allergy,
suspect the unwanted ingredient in the feed items given. Similarly,
understand about the moisture status. If the 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.
Raw egg, chicken, beef, mutton, fish, quail etc. are often the
preferred ingredients in case of dog 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.
