The Importance Of Reading Dog Information

In this age when health and wellness are given considerable attention

, many dog owners are still making wrong choices when it comes to their pets' food. This is not surprising though as unsuspecting dog owners are bombarded with commercials from different dog food brands persuading these unaware pet owners that their products are recommended by veterinarians or 100% natural balance dog food. With these dizzying choices, probably by now you're wondering where you should get the right information about your pet's food. However, if you are only attentive enough to read the label of your canine's food, you'll definitely gain basic education as to what you're feeding your dog.

The first thing that you would notice on dog information label is the so called general display information that contains the dog food brand name. Included here is the so called benefits class information which denotes the basic benefits that your dog will receive once he or she eats certain dog food; common examples includes hair maintenance, nutrition level, weight loss and more. It is also within the information that you will find the canine class information which would give you the idea about what canine age and category you should fed such dog food; whether it is appropriate for puppies or adult canines. Product quantity is also outlined on the basic information.

The next dog information incorporated either at the side or back of commercial dog food products is usually ingredient specific. Here, you will find the general analysis of protein and fat contained in the dog food as well as the water and fiber contents. Try to make sure that your dog food choice has the right amount of phosphorous; remember that too much phosphorous may result to renal failure which could immediately end the life of your furry friend. As much as possible, stay away from dog food products that have ingredients that says animal by-products, fillers such as corn, artificial color and flavorings as these could jeopardize the health of your dog. Unfortunately, most commercial dog food brands available today contain the aforementioned ingredients.

Because most commercial dog food brands contain almost the same information, some of which are just copies of other brands, it is still hard to find the right brand for your pet. With these dangers just hiding around the corner, going for meals that are made from natural or organic ingredients is perhaps the most logical thing to do. Today, much attention is given from the benefits that can be derived from feeding canines with organic dog food products. In fact, many veterinarians proved that feeding a dog with organic meals can lessen his or her health problems including allergies and cancer.

Natural dog food products also have dog information labels that display significant information about their ingredients the same way as their commercial dog food counterparts does. But if you would compare the ingredient contents of these products, you can easily point out the differences in many aspects. While commercial food products are packed with preservatives an synthetic ingredients to intensify their smell and tastes, natural dog food products on the other hand do not contain any preservatives and synthetic products, rather they are mainly processed with the use of all natural and human-quality ingredients. From here, you could easily point out the advantage of natural dog food products over commercial dog food products which are compounded with preservatives and synthetic additives that could poison your pet's body. Natural is not necessarily equivalent to organic, but both natural and organic are by far preferable to the commercial brands that are comprised largely of over processed foods, grains and additives.

Before you cash in on organic dog food however, it would be wise to choose the one that is made by a trusted company. It always pays to be sure; with emerging dog food products every month, along with the massive recalls of commercial dog food products, you can never be sure whether these companies are infiltrating the natural dog food market. A little research is always a good means to become an informed dog owner.
