Natural Dog Food
By John Steele
Dogs are essentially descendent's of wolves. Because of this genetic trait they require meat protein to be healthy and live the full potential of their natural lifespan. Grain based dog food rarely contains the quality meat protein a canine must have. Without natural ingredients dogs succumb to a variety of diseases. Many veterinarians will testify that the mainstream of sick dogs they treat suffer with unnecessary and premature skin disease, heart, liver, and bowel problems, and other serious health issues such as dental disease, and cancer.
Canned dog food and soft grain based kibble are the equivalent of poison for a dog. They are not designed to meet the needs of a canine's digestive system and cannot be assimilated. Junk food such as these do not clean a dogs teeth. The sludge sticks to the teeth and creates plaque, which becomes a breeding ground for dental bacteria. If your dog's breath is enough to make you gag it's likely the buildup of plaque has become quite severe and usually is a symptom of inflamed gums. Bad breath it's a sign that his immune system has mobilized against the bacterial invaders thriving in his mouth. Contrary to popular belief a dog's breath should not be foul smelling and if your pets been fed been the proper kind of natural dog food it's unlikely it will.
Because the dog has descended from a predatory carnivore it's stomach does not have the enzymes to digest grains and other plant material. Pet food factories cook the grains under high pressure until the process alters the proteins, fats, and starches, to such an extent that they become toxic to a canines digestive system. In addition to this many other unnatural ingredients such as colorants, preservatives, and a variety of other chemicals, are added to the formula as well. It's not hard to understand why dogs fed this type of diet are likely to die at least 8 years before their time; sometimes much sooner, and often because of kidney failure.
Because the dog's bowels cannot thoroughly digest the matter that is foreign to their metabolism the sludge often settles in the colon. A large population of toxin producing bacteria thrives in this putrid mass, which remains in constant contact with the lining of its intestines. The toxins pass through the bowel and enter the circulation causing many of the premature diseases and allergies the dog suffers without apparent cause.
Of course your pet can't tell you what he's feeling or why he's sick. But many times concerned pet owners take their dog to the vet because something's not right. Some vets understand the reason for the dog's problems and will tell the owners to stop feeding the dog junk food. But many of them diagnose the diseased organs and treat the problem but not the cause. Unfortunately the treatment often includes powerful medications, which further compromise the dog's vitality and erase years from his life.
It doesn't have to be this way. There are a number of ways you can provide natural dog food for your pet and add healthy years to its life without spending more money on natural dog food.
