Why Your Dog Will Benefit from Flint River Ranch Food
Written by Geraldine Dimarco on November 23, 2009 – 7:44 am -Your dog relies on you for his happiness. It’s an important point for dog owners to remember. Keeping your dog free from fleas and taking him to the vet occasionally is not enough. Your dog needs exercise – preferably with you – and he needs general company. Conversely, even if your dog is in peak health, if you leave him in a kennel in the backyard and rarely interact with him, he cannot be happy, because dogs are such social animals. The dog is regarded as their best friend by several dog owners but they may not give much importance to the dog food that they give to their pet. There are a few owners who are surprised by the fluctuations in the health of their pets for no reason at all. A number of people will turn to professionals... more

All Natural Dog Food
Written by Moses Wright on October 22, 2009 – 4:33 am -Dog food that contains natural or organic ingredients is often marketed as all natural dog food. Having all natural ingredients does not automatically make dog food healthy for dogs. Therefore, this phrase is sometimes misleading. Many commercial dog foods use artificial colors, flavorings, and preservatives. Some small dog food manufacturers focus on producing a natural dog food that does not contain these ingredients. If the dog food claims to be natural, does not necessarily make it healthy for dogs. For example, a dog food that consists of corn and other grains and no protein could be labeled as all natural if it only contains grains, but a diet such as this can be detrimental to the dog’s health. Dog owners need to consider what ingredients... more

Holistic Dog Food Choices
Written by Moses Wright on October 13, 2009 – 3:54 am -by Moses Wright Some dog owners have concerns about the quality of the ingredients of commercial dog food. Holistic dog food is a healthier alternative to many commercial dog foods. Holistic dog food is dog food, either manufactured or homemade, that contains only natural ingredients. Dog food manufacturers that make dog food with only natural, high-quality ingredients sometimes promote the dog food as holistic dog food. The quality of the ingredients is a common claim that differentiates the holistic dog food from the most popular commercial dog foods. Though animal byproducts are often the animal protein source in commercial dog food, animal byproducts are not usually included in holistic dog food. Animal byproducts are meat pieces that are... more

Learning How to Make Great Homemade Dog Food
Written by Juliette Crane on October 10, 2009 – 5:36 am -by Juliette Crane Everybody love their pets correct? We give them homes, groom them and feed them the best way we know how. Many times we buy the products that grocery have stacked up in their shelves; assuming that these will give the most benefits to the dog. That?s not necessarily true. Homemade pet food is a great way to introduce the required nutrients to your beloved canine?s diet. There is one important thing you need to know, and that is that leftover table scraps are not qualified as homemade dog food. Pieces of bone, seed, tough stems and even too much animal fat should not be fed to the canine.

Why Is My Dog Not Eating Her Food Right When I Put It Down?
Written by K.C. Jones on September 14, 2009 – 7:38 am -Most people have no idea how stressful it can be to have a dog that won’t eat. To quickly get your dog eating again, you must first determine whether the problem of your dog not eating is physical or psychological. Before diving into this problem, if you have a dog with a medical condition, or a puppy, pregnant dog, or nursing dog, you need to take them to the vet immediately. These dogs have certain nutritional requirements that are better if dealt with professionally. If this is a sudden eating problem, check to see if you have changed any of your dog’s food or routines, as this can be the problem. If you haven’t changed anything, make sure your dog isn’t in pain and isn’t acting like he is really tired (listless)... more
