Organic Dog Food

By Frank Williams


The desire for healthy, organic food seems to apply just as much to animals as to people, since a lot of pet owners would rather buy organic foods to feed their four-legged friends. One could be forgiven for being taken aback by the vast variety of organic dog food on offer in the market. Just like for humans, there are a lot of pet health issues that one could cure or even prevent completely by the use of organic pet food.

For example, organic dog food could lessen the chance of the dog getting skin diseases and allergies. The reason for the positive health effects is the absence of additives, chemicals, colourants and pesticides. Instead the ingredients of organic dog food are simply grain extracts and high quality proteins.

Regular dog food can cause diabetes and excess weight with all the concomitant problems that accompany these illnesses: back ailment, organ failure and decreased mobility. How can organic dog food help here, then? Well, because organic pet food does not contain bulk filler; they are nutrient-packed products that create energy not fat. Moreover, it is best and definitely a lot easier to prevent health problems than try to treat them afterwards.

A better digestion and a stronger immunity system are the other main benefits that come with the use of organic dog food. Due to the absence of chemicals usually present in ordinary pet food, your dog will not be sick or experience gas or diarrhea. A more efficient is what will result from a healthy diet. Moreover, the quality of the nutritional substances in organic dog food, boosts the immunity functions, which reduces the risks of infection and all sorts of specific diseases that affect dogs on an everyday basis.

In general, veterinarian experts claim that organic dog food significantly increases the life of any animal, not to mention the fact that it will go through old age a lot better. It is not uncommon that pet owners who choose organic dog food, are also interested in eating organic foods themselves, sticking to clean natural products that enhance bodily functions and avoid toxins and disease.

Ask your local dog food provider about organic dog food and if there isn't any at your local shop, try to order it online. There are plenty of web pages that offer such foods at fairly good prices.

One last tip, be very wary of dried dog food, no matter what it says on the packet. I used to have a dog that stayed at home alone during the day, while I went to work. I didn't like to leave 'wet' food, because of flies, bacteria and vermin, so I bought dry food, which would not deteriorate during the day. However, within six years she had diabetes, which meant that I had to inject her with insulin every morning. The veterinary said that it was very common for dogs fed only on biscuits to get diabetes, so check with your vet first or feed organic wet food.
