On sale there is a set of ready dry and damp dog food. But not all of them qualitative and available at the price. Often fakes which can do harm to health of an animal meet. It is more correct if owners cook food. Dogs best of all suit the products similar to what in the nature use predators.
Substantially health of a dog depends on correctly picked up diet. Malfunctions with intestines at once affect the general condition of an animal. One of the most important principles of feeding of dogs is the choice between dry feeds and natural products. The mixed feeding can lead to diseases of a liver and other bodies. Therefore it is right at the beginning important to decide on this question.
Shortcomings of ready-made feedsExpensive dry feeds, as a rule, contain all substances necessary for a dog and at the same time allow to save time of owners. On the other hand, even the best meat small pillows are acquired worse than natural products and can lead to locks and other problems of digestive tract. One of the most powerful shortcomings of similar food – impossibility to learn what the forage is made of. And artificial dyes and other additives and also waste of meat production can be its part that is not the most nutritious for a dog.
Main productThe secret of ideal balance of products remains one of problems of natural food for many even experienced manufacturers. Meat, which is not surprising, a dog – a predator has to be a basis of "naturalka". Meat is recommended to be served crude, having a little frozen. It is necessary to cut it in cubes of the average sizes, but not in the form of forcemeat. Are admissible in a bone diet and also various liver, except for a liver which not all dogs well transfer. However meat is more nutritious therefore there is no sense to abuse "soup kits".
Meat for the favourite pet is not obligatory to buy the most expensive, for example, in the form of cutting of the first grade. It quite will suit any sinewy and bony parts.
In view of the increased fat content pork is not advised to include in the dog menu. All other types of meat – beef, rabbit flesh, mutton, a bird – quite approach. From time to time in the menu also fish – fresh-frozen fillet without bones can appear. After deep freezing in it there are no parasites any more therefore heat treatment, as well as for meat is not required.
Not meat uniformBesides meat, fermented milk products not of really high fat content are necessary for a dog, however, the optimum percent of fat in kefir needs to be selected individually for each animal. For example, at one dog the negative reaction (vomiting or a diarrhea) to 9% content of, and at another even is possible at 3%. But also fat-free to a milk too you should not give.
At well picked up food the dog has to have brilliant wool, clean eyes, a moist nose, excellent mood and it is a lot of forces for walks and games.
The third most important component of food of dogs are vegetables, greens and unsweetened fruit. In principle, dogs should not give sweet. Vegetables and bran can be served separately or together with meat. Many find it possible to feed the pets with porridges, however from it, as a rule, animals gain excess weight.
