Introduction

You love your dog, and you want them to have the best life possible. That means giving them healthy food that they enjoy eating. But it can be hard to find the right food when there are so many options on the market today. Here are some tips for making sure your dog is getting a nutritious diet:

Switch to a diet that’s high in protein and low in filler ingredients.

To get your dog to eat healthier and feel better, it’s important to switch to a diet that’s high in protein and low in filler ingredients. The best food is made with real ingredients like meat, fish and eggs. It also contains healthy fats like coconut oil or olive oil.

The most important thing about finding the right food for your dog is balance—a good diet should be high enough in protein but not too much so that their digestion is impacted negatively from eating too much animal tissue (meat). A typical adult dog needs about 30% of its calories from protein each day; puppies need slightly more at 35%.

Vet approved supplements can help with weight gain and muscle mass.

• Vet approved supplements can help with weight gain and muscle mass.
• Use supplements under the supervision of a vet.
• Supplements should not replace healthy food, but are an added benefit when used correctly.

You don’t have to spend extra on high-end dog food; check out some of the grocery store brands that are still good.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money on your dog’s food. There are many good quality brands that you can find at the grocery store, and some even sell it in bulk. You can also purchase pet food from big box stores like Costco or Sam’s Club.

You will need to do some research on the brand and ingredients used in their products before purchasing them, however, as there are some low-quality brands out there as well.

Limit the amount of treats you give your dog.

One of the most important things you can do for your dog is to keep their treats in check. While giving your pet a treat every now and then is fine, it’s not necessary to give them regular free rein at the cookie jar.

Dogs are omnivores, meaning that they need both meat and vegetables in order to get all of their nutritional needs met. They also have different nutritional requirements than humans do—for example, dogs need more protein (35% vs 15%) than people do—and certain nutrients such as calcium are best provided by animal sources rather than plant-based ones (for example, milk versus tofu).

Treats should be given as rewards for good behavior or as training incentives instead of being used as a substitute for mealtime or rewarding an overweight pet with extra calories he doesn’t need. A good rule of thumb when it comes to treating your pup: 10% of his daily diet should be made up of treats; anything above that amount could lead his health into trouble.

Avoid human food, it’s bad for your dog’s health and can make them sick

Avoid human food, it’s bad for your dog’s health and can make them sick.

Human food is high in sugar, fat and salt, which your dog doesn’t need. The human diet isn’t designed to meet the nutritional needs of a dog – especially one that’s not getting enough exercise or living in a warmer climate than humans are used to. Human food can cause allergies that lead to gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea (and possibly fatal complications) or vomiting. It can also lead to obesity over time if you’re giving too much rich treats on a regular basis!

Avoid processed, high-fat dog foods; they aren’t good for your pet.

Avoiding processed, high-fat foods is a great way to keep your dog healthy. High fat content can lead to obesity and many other health problems in dogs including diabetes, heart disease and liver disease. The extra fat in many commercial dog food products also increases the risk of pancreatitis — an inflammation of the pancreas that can be fatal if left untreated.

Don’t feed your dog table scraps

While it may be tempting to treat your pooch to some of the leftovers on your plate, it’s best not to.

Dogs are omnivores—they can eat both meat and plants—but they don’t have the same taste buds or digestive systems as humans. This means that while table scraps may taste delicious to you, they could cause digestive problems or allergies in your dog. If a dog eats too much junk food, he or she can become obese and develop diabetes—and this is especially true if you feed them human foods loaded with salt, fat, sugar, or other ingredients that are bad for dogs’ health (think garlic).

Watch out for questionable ingredients in commercial dog foods – some may contain toxic chemicals or preservatives that aren’t good for your pet.

If you’re like most people, you don’t really know what goes on in your dog’s kibble. This is a problem because some of the ingredients used may be toxic to your pet. When shopping for dog food, look out for these ingredients:

• BHA and BHT – These preservatives have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals when ingested over long periods of time. They aren’t found naturally in meat or vegetables, so they are added during processing to extend shelf life and prevent mold growth. Dogs metabolize these chemicals differently from humans and other animals, so they may be more susceptible than people are to their potential health effects.* Propylene glycol – Another food additive that can cause allergic reactions in dogs if they consume too much (more on this later). It also has antifreeze properties – not something we want going into our pets’ stomachs!
• Potassium sorbate has been linked with reproductive problems such as reduced fertility rates among males who were fed foods containing it.* Soy protein isolates – Although high-quality soybean meal shouldn’t bother your pet too much (as long as he/she doesn’t have an allergy), isolated proteins can cause allergic reactions that range from mild skin irritations all the way up through severe digestive diseases like pancreatitis

When we feed our pets unhealthy food, we are putting their lives at risk

When you feed your pet unhealthy food, you are putting their lives at risk.

Dogs can get diabetes from eating unhealthy food. Dogs can also get cancer from eating unhealthy food. Dogs can also get heart disease from eating unhealthy food and will die earlier than they would otherwise have lived if they don’t eat healthy foods like Freshpet!
