Choosing a forage for the canine friend, think of his needs of nature. A dog – the predator which got used to eat meat. Not any store forage is suitable for a canine friend.
Correct structure
Probably, the first and most important what it is necessary to pay attention when choosing a forage for a dog to is structure. Even if on front side of packing the inscription "superextra" or "from natural meat" flaunts, it can not have any relation to real quality of a forage. Pay attention to the first three ingredients, as a rule, their the number, greatest in a stern. It is the best of all if it is something meat, for example: beef, turkey, pork.And here if the word "offal" caught sight to you, it is better to refuse such forage. It is not necessary to think that it is a liver, kidneys or something similar. Usually producers of low-quality forages under "offal" mean skin, bones, feathers and hooves, absolutely unsuitable to the use.
Food for predatorsStudying labels of forages, mentally ask yourself questions: whether such amounts of soy and corn and how many the day portion of fresh meat necessary for your dog if it has to be dried up would weigh are necessary in a diet of a dog? By the way, the price – one more important selection criterion. Good quality dog food cannot be cheap in any way – it has to contain at least 30% of meat ingredients. If you see the favorable offer on the price, it is necessary to treat it with care. The feed for a dog can be both dry, and damp. As a rule, damp forages make a part of a diet of small or medium-sized dogs and also are used in food of puppies and special diets. The dry feed is more convenient in application and is universal, but also it should be selected, proceeding from specific features of your four-footed pet.
What to avoid
All dry feeds for animals anyway contain preservatives – it is necessary for preservation in granules of fats and meat components. However preservative to preservative discord. Choose the forages containing the natural preserving substances: these are vitamins E and With, extracts of herbs and oils. And here artificial antioxidants and dyes in structure should be avoided. There is nothing good in them, both for the person, and for a dog. If you feed the dog with a natural forage, do not give her sweets or chocolate and also the onions, garlic and vegetables containing rough cellulose. Corn, for example, badly is digested an organism of predators and harms digestion, and its ears can injure intestines of a dog quite seriously.
