Keeping Dogs Healthy Through Proper Nutrition During Tough Economic Times

Dog owners living on a tight spending plan could
be tempted to seek a reasonable alternative to
change from the more nutritious meals their
puppy is familiarized to. This is an error as
poor products can easily trigger health and
wellness problems. Understanding just how to
manage a leading product while remaining correct
to a meticulous finances is valuable to the dog,
keeping him well supplied and healthy.

Dogs don't balk at the offer of cheap dog foods
mostly composed of filler and byproducts. These
products are the junk food of the canine world.
They may have a favorable flavor to the dogs but
products lacking proper nutrition. Dogs weigh
more when not eating premium foods because they
do not contain filler and empty calories. A diet
consisting solely of these foods leads to a dog
lacking optimal health.

These foods are cheaper per pound because they
utilize cheap, unhealthy ingredients. The price
per pound is less but because they lack so much
a dog's body needs, dogs eat more in attempt to
make up the difference. Therefore, the actual
cost of these bargain brands may be equal to or
more than the price per pound of an esteemed
brand.

Pet owners considering a subpar brand due to a
strained budget should use inventive ways to
feed their dogs a premium dog food without
breaking the bank. There are ways to keep a dog
in optimal health with nutritious foods when on
a budget. Though a premier brand is going to
cost more out-of-pocket, it is an investment in
a dog's overall health.

Checking several sources for prices is a must.
A common misconception is buying dog food online
is a poor option. Many companies offer free
shipping. Online retailers lack operating costs
related to running a brick and mortar store
meaning they may be significantly less
expensive. Sometimes it is possible to purchase
direct from the manufacturer. Buying directly
from the manufacturer is not always an option.
When it is, money is saved by eliminating the
middle man.

Using coupons is the first way to save money
when shopping in pet supply stores. Checking
store and manufacturer websites for coupons and
buying when on sale in conjunction with using a
coupon may save several dollars per bag. Store
savings are often derived from store shopping
cards. These cards offer savings opportunities
and may also offer a cash back incentive.

Larger bags of dog food are almost always
cheaper per pound than smaller bags. Small breed
owners should not invest in a bag so large food
expires before it is used. Sometimes purchasing
a large bag and splitting it with another small
breed dog owner is possible.

A dog's best chance to maintain a healthy, long
life is through proper nutrition. Affording a dog
the best care possible involves providing healthy
eating. This should be the primary consideration
when selecting a brand.
