Almost each owner of a pet sometimes thinks of a possibility of the transfer of the favourite to a dry feed. This issue remains topical both for experienced cattle breeders, and for those who only decided to lodge at themselves a canine friend. For decision-making it is important to weigh all pros and cons.
In spite of the fact that arguments of supporters of "dry" food of animals seem very convincing, there is also a great number of opponents of withdrawal of natural products from a diet of dumb animals. To provide to the shaggy friend long and healthy life, it is worth studying attentively arguments of that and others.
pro: conveniently it is also useful
Undoubtedly, the forage has to be quality and correspond to breed and a way of life of your cat or a dog. In this case you will be able really to feel all advantages of feeding as "drying". For example, there is no need to cook food to the pet. For owners of several shaggy friends he can become real means of saving of time and the money spent for food of quadrupeds. Besides, also the balanced structure is important. The forage contains all necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals. At this option also relatively low cost in comparison with the tinned forage or a set of natural products necessary for good nutrition.
Experts say also that the probability of emergence of problems of a mouth at animals decreases. During the use of a dry feed your pet cleans off from teeth a raid and a stone which could lead to a gingivit, inflammations, bleeding and a zagnoyeniye of gums and also loss of teeth. Such decision guarantees also continuous access of a cat or dog to a bowl with a forage. The natural or tinned forage cannot be put in a bowl for a long time — in several hours it can already deteriorate. The dry feed is deprived of this danger.
contra: tastelessly and dangerously
However with an ulterior motive several decades break a spear in discussions about advantage and harm of dry feeds. Opponents of "drying" advise not to forget that, besides obvious conveniences, it has also noticeable shortcomings. For example, your favourite can not want to eat unappetizing "crackers" that will cause difficulties in attempt of change of type of a forage. Veterinarians claim that the dry feed is digested worse and concedes in nutrition value tinned and natural: net contents in it is lower than nutrients. There is an opinion that many grades of forages differ in the increased content of the plain carbohydrates influencing glucose level and mineral substances. Hormones, soy, pesticides and other chemical additives are often added. Their use can lead to deplorable consequences for health of animals. Also for production of a dry feed sub-standard meat products are often used: the parts of hulks of the cattle and a bird unsuitable rejected at factories for consumption by the person. So meat of sick animals — sometimes even with oncological diseases gets to a forage for animals. It is hard to make a choice, however, kind of you decided to feed the faithful four-footed companion, the main thing is to watch quality of treats which you offer it carefully.
