Indian Food Cuisine

We are a 'Trendy' bunch. What's 'trending' today? Am I keeping up? Well, if you are a dog owner and your dog relies primarily if not solely on commercial dog food recipes; then you really need to be paying attention to what's trending in ingredients in dog food.

If you aren't you'll be greatly alarmed to learn that the ingredients in dog food you regularly buy for your dog is destroying your dog's health and shortening your dog's life by as much as 50%.

A commercial dog food diet will affect your dog's mood, energy, immune system, ability to recover from illness and injury and shorten longevity. Dog's become more susceptible to obesity, diabetes, allergies and serious illness such as cancer and kidney or liver disease.

If this information is new to you and is getting you upset that's very understandable. Just don't waste it on getting the world to come against the pet food industry. You can do that if you want. Just make sure you do it after personally taking on the responsibility of bringing your dog back to a normal life by providing your dog with healthy ingredients in dog food with perfect nutrition.

You'll need to study up on what perfect nutrition is and be certain to get your dog thoroughly checked out with a reputable vet that can help you be aware of any food related conditions that may need to be taken into account when creating new dog food recipes for your dog. So, a perfect list of ingredients in dog food will vary from dog to dog.

Keep in mind that your dog is NOT a vegetarian. You will rob him of the primary ingredients necessary for his body to help restore health the fastest. Table scraps are not a good idea either. The food will usually be too salty, too fatty and too little nutritional content.

Keep in mind also that only humans naturally cook their food. Your dog's digestive tract can handle uncooked food. It's designed to do just that. There are plenty of sources to find all the necessary details about ingredients in dog food to regain and maintain optimal health.

Make sure that you have located some information on how to go about shifting from commercial dog food to your new homemade recipes. It needs to be done gradually to avoid discomfort and distress.

Depending on who you get your info from; for this first and very important change in your dogs diet you will need to have selected a starter recipe and gradually shift to it over a period of 3 to 6 weeks depending on how your dog is reacting.

What you do is continue with what ever you were feeding your dog but start introducing one of the ingredients at a time from your new recipe every couple of days while reducing the commercial food by the same amount by weight of whatever the new ingredient was.

Start with the proteins, then the carbohydrates and then the fats until you have completely eliminated the commercial food. If your dog is having any discomfort consult your vet.

You will also need to become knowledgeable about the short list of normal foods that we humans love but are actually toxic to dogs and can make them ill. One of my favorites is Avocado. My poor pooch is really missing out on that one.

Another good trend that has been going on for a decade or so is the huge amount of information available about ingredients in dog food and all things related to your dog's return to health on the internet.
