American Pit Bull

If your dog has diarrhea mixing rice with their food and even some un-flavored Metamucil helps to firm up stool. Pedigree is really not a very good food to begin with. Neither is IAMs good, Purina or any of the other foods you have usually heard of.

The first several ingredients are usually corn, meat by products and white or brewers rice. (no nutritional value)  Because of this, our dogs need to eat more than you would expect just to get the nutrients they need to stay healthy.  Also, Science Diet and Eukanuba are not very healthy dog foods either. They used to be ok, but they were bought out by other companies.  Now to save money, they changed the ingredients to fillers and by products making the dog food much less healthy.

These foods cost about the same as all naturals dog foods.  You should be sure to check the ingredients of your dogs food yourself. Try to stay away from these three ingredients; corn, meat by products of any kind, and white or brewers rice.

Go for foods with chicken, chicken meal, or any meats that don’t have by product after them, and BROWN rice. These are good foods. Try a specialty pet store and ask the quality of their dog food.  Precise, Royal Canine, and Verus are all really good dog foods.

When you look at the ingredients they will be along the lines of Chicken, brown rice and usually another protein source such as chicken meal. (chicken meal is just dehydrated chicken, very good)  Your dog will need to eat much less of these foods so even though it costs, more you go through less food and it ends up saving you money. Your dog will poop less, live longer and are be healthier.

These foods are also all natural and organic so they are never involved in any recalls; you know your food is always safe.  Go to your local pet store and ask about these brands…

• Precise
• Royal Canin
• Verus
• Wellness
• California Natural
• Innova
• Canidae
• Merrik

Many pet stores such as Pets Plus will give you your money back for the dog doesn’t like the dog food they sell you.  It’s worth it to get quality dog food and your dog will love you for it.
