Diet and Feeding

Recently I posted an article on raw feeding your dog, but I thought to address it in the blog for a shorter version. Since the first day I had my dog I was concerned about the right things to feed him. Being a health conscious person myself, I though it of great importance to think about what I give my dog to eat.

So many people I know just plop a bowl down and scoop a couple of cups worth of dry kibble and never think about the crap they are feeding their best friend. After much research I’ve abandoned the idea of commercial dog food and opted for a natural, and mostly raw diet. There is much debate about this on the internet, but if you think about it logically, you’ll draw your own conclusions. If you really care about your dog, you’ll feed him like you yourself eat. To me this includes at least two feedings a day whenever possible.

I shop for my dog at the same store where I buy my food. Even though I am a vegetarian, I don’t put that on my dog. He eats a diet that consisits of raw chicken, raw green tripe, sardines, oat flakes, cooked brown organic rice, yams / sweet potatoes, raw eggs, oaccasionally cottage cheese, raw bones and a host of other goodies. I also suplement him with apple cider vinegar, vitamin c, kelp, coconut oil and fish oil. All the info is available for you on the internet. I have an article I wrote on raw feeding, I hope you’ll read it.

For the benefit of your dog, I hope you’ll open your mind to the concept of natural feeding, of not raw, at least consider natural feeding. If you insist on feeding commercial dog food, do the research. There are some good commercial foods, but you’ll spend as much as natural feeding.
