The Trouble with Dogfood

By on Friday, February 3rd, 2012 | No Comments

There have been an article on Mercola.com about Ellen DeGeneres new pet food brand which is an all vegan dog food.  And there have been some brouhaha  on Facebook by people who have their opinions about this. There are also strong interests that wants that the dog and cat owners should feed the dogs and cats with vegetables and avoid giving them meat. This may go for us humans because we can pick and choose what to eat. We have the jaw and dentition of a plant eater. Just look at the gorillas they have a 99 percent plant/fruits/nuts diet. We are very similar to the gorillas and should eat like they do to stay healthy. Which means more of greens.

Dogs however are different. Dogs likes raw meat. Do you like eating raw meat? No I don't think so. So dogs are different from us. They have as I the dentition of a carnivore. This do not mean that they can not eat green stuff to. My dog liked a varied diet and did eat from the grass outside so there will always be a dilemma should I kill that pig or die of starvation? 

What if you are a vegetarian?

If you are a vegetarian you will run into a dilemma. Should you make a vegetarian out of your dog? Can dogs really live on just vegetable foods? And are there anyone who have tried that? I do not think  it is a smart idea feeding your dog on only plant matter for the health and well being of your dog. If you have a problem with giving your dog red meat, then you have to find him dog food with protein in it. And avoid to feed him the crap dog food with lots of corn in it. Dogs do not have the need for ingesting corn it probably will make them sick. You do not drive your bike on diesel you buy gasoline and it is the same for your dog whether you want it or not. For such is the world.

I have located an e-book about dog food that you may find interesting. I haven't gotten and read it yet but from what I have found out it is a good read about how to make your own dog food. Which may be the best you could do for your dog. You can have a look at the site right here. This book is the next on my list of dog literature. Oh choices, choices. I just spent twenty bucks on an e-book about treasure hunting so I will have to read that one before I get another one.

How to make your German Shepherd more healthy

I have added this video to my site because i want  to write something about the information given in it. Most of it is good except for one thing, do not give your dog Canola oil. I do not put that stuff on my table and I do not recommend that you give it to the a German Shepherd. Canola oil has a story.  The Canola oil trademark is not derived from a plant, but is a mix of Canada and oil. The correct name for the plant or the seed that the oil comes from is rape seed. Now rape seed is poisonous to us large and small, and can be used for insect repellant. Rape oil have been used as an engine lubricant and as a synthetic rubber base. 

 

So what did they do to the rape seed oil problem?

They genetically changed it, and also by cross breeding modified it for human use and changed it's name to Canola oil.  All in the holy name of profits. There is no proof that Canola oil is safe to use, it is just a grand experiment on us all. Now this oil is now so cheap that they replace it for other more expensive food oils and put it into everything. Check out the food labels on what you eat or ask the baker what oil he uses. Here is a fact for you…Rape seed have naturally a high component of erucic acid. Now they say that they have modified out and removed the mustard component or erucic acid down to manageable levels, and that it now is incredible healthy for you. Should we gamble with that? I do not because there are better alternatives. 

 

Coconut oil the wonder oil

Coconut oil is a tried and trusted fat used for generations. Coconut oil is very heat stable. But you should try it out for yourself you have to start with smaller doses of oil to adjust your dog to the use of coconut oil. The coconut oil also can have the benefit of making your dog slimmer. Because it improves digestion.  You can even use this fat as a tooth paste for your dog. And to detoxify your dog. Now, you have to search for yourself for the facts and decide for yourself. I would never have given my dog Canola oil because I do not know if it would have shortened the dogs life span. Coconut oil is good, because I use it every day in cooking and as a butter. If you and your dog want to get healthier then get coconut oil even if it is more expensive to get hold of.

German shepherd dog food

Is it wise to feed your dog human food? Most dogs are related to the wolf family a very carnivorous bunch, which means they need to have meat in their diet. This does not mean human food is the correct food for them. It is best to find a dog food product where the first ingredient is meat. Make sure it is real meat and not some processed substitute. Feeding your dog human food is a bad idea because it can be too greasy for them and block their arteries.

Dogs have very sensitive digestive tracks so they are susceptible to diarrhea and upset stomachs if you change their food. It is best to find a dog food you prefer and that is healthy for them. You also want to keep them on the same food.  Changing food can cause problems.

If you feel you need to change food, you should slowly integrate the new food with the old until you have fully replaced the old. This should take two weeks or a little more. Dogs when full grown should be fed once a day at the same time. Never feed your German shepherd or any other dog with cured meats. There is salts and nitrites that will be in the treated meats that will make the dog loose a lot of water. And he will need a bucket of water to drink later. Be careful what you give your G.S.D of processed foods.
