I will say I am not an expert by any means and most of the stuff I know is from Google. I'm not sitting here trying to tell you what to feed your dog. I'm just simply letting you know what I know about dog food and that if you love your dog or any animal enough, you should do some research too.
Dogs are opportunistic carnivores, opportunistic meaning taking advantage of an opportunity, and carnivore meaning an animal that eats meat. When you think about wolves and coyotes you don't normally see them running around in a hay field, unless they are chasing a rabbit. Am I correct? DOGS ARE NOT MEANT TO LIVE ON A HIGH GRAIN DIET! They need protein in their diet, but not just any protein, meat based protein.
When you look at a dog food bag the first five or so ingredients are the most important. Chicken is one of the most used meat in dog food, it should be the first ingredient on the list. It then should be followed by chicken meal. Most dog foods don't have the second ingredient as chicken meal, instead it is a grain then another type of grain and so on. Dog food that has an ingredients list like this is not giving your dog the amount of meat protein that it needs.
You never want to just see the word MEAT on your dog food, because it could be any kind of meat. most of the time it is a type of meat that has been rejected for human consumption. If it is a good dog food then it will be specific.
This is just a little glimpse of all the information you should know about your dog food. The benefits that a good dog food can give your furry friend are truly worth the money you will spend. So make a cup of coffee and get on Google or go to your nearest HEALTHY pet store. Places like Petsmart and Petco don't always know the information you need. So finding a place like Petpeople will truly be the best way to go.
I know you want to have your dog for a long time and feeding them right will help you have them for many years.
