It’s a COMPLETE Dog Nutrition & Training Package!

Continuing on in my crusade against most commercial dog foods!

While I’m not naive enough to ever think that what I say or do here on the Web will make a HUGE impact – I’m hopeful that someone, somewhere might re-think what they feed their pooch and just perhaps – a few dogs might get a better dinner!

So – with that in mind, perhaps I might start off by getting you to at least read the ingredients on the bag? Notice I did not say on the can? That’s because canned dog food has just too much water and fillers in it – to be of value in my opinion!

The very least you should do for your dog – if you won’t cook or provide a BARF diet – is to buy fresh meat and mix it with kibble! At least you know the dog is getting REAL MEAT and not T.V.P. (textured vegetable protein) – read that as fake meat! PLUS, since the kibble is supposed to be balanced, your dog will get the nutrition that it contains!

But not all kibbles is kibbles! So – go get your pack and lets read the Ingredients listing?

Got it?

Okay in a perfect world, you want the 1st or the 2nd ingredient to be meat? Please note that you DO NOT want the 1st ingredient to be Meat By-products or Meat Meal or Poultry By-products or Poultry meal? Remember that foul smelling powder I mentioned elsewhere on this site – well this is the stuff!

So – if your 1st ingredient is ANY kind of By-product or Meat Meal – no matter what the ads say; your dogs food is of a VERY low grade and I’d suggest you toss it or if you absolutely insist it gets used, donate it to a rescue shelter!

The first couple of ingredients will tell you a lot about the quality of the kibble! If you MUST buy a brand with By-products or Meat Meal in it – try to have those ingredients as far down the list as possible!

Now – look for any type of colour listed? If there is colour, it’s there for you only – the dog doesn’t need it and colours can have side effects that can affect the skin and cause allergic reactions etc – so they are best left OUT of dog food!

Also, if you know that your dog has a particular problem with any cereals (some dogs do with wheat and corn), read the label to see if its listed. Unfortunately, the laws are fairly liberal when it comes to listings and they may just specify cereal, without mentioning type! Rice is generally considered to be an acceptable cereal for dogs, and is fairly readily digested!

Generally there will be a panel on the pack that will say Typical Analysis or similar? You will want a high protein level ranging from around 20 -25% as a guide, though if you ARE feeding real meat this is not as critical. And you WILL want a significant ratio of fat, since dogs have higher needs for fat than we do. Look for a fat ratio around half of the protein level?

OK – so how did you fare – is the food any good? If not – at least you know what to look for in future, which is more than most? Just try and ask about By-products in the pet store, watch the vague responses you’ll get – many people just DO NOT KNOW! Look for a better quality food next time you shop?

You may have heard the horror stories that are floating about the Web, telling us that pet dogs and cats that have been euthanised (put to sleep) by Vets, end up in pet food?

The stories report that Vets dispose of the bodies of pets, by sending them to facilities – that end up sending them to rendering plants – that in turn render them into pet food?

As if that’s not horrible enough, often they also mention that the anaesthetic used to put them down (pentobarbital), accumulates in the food made from this source, and then ends up being fed to pet dogs and cats!

So the theory is dogs and cats are being fed to dogs and cats – and in doing so the pets also end up being exposed to levels of yet another chemical in their food!

I had heard story after story – but had not seen ANY proof of this and was reluctant to make such statements!

Well it turns out that though most commercial dog food is still the same low quality food source it’s always been – the US FDA has done testing and there is NO TRACE of dog or cat DNA!

There was however some pentobarbital found in some commercial dog and cat food!-

So – the dog and cat in food part is a MYTH – now that it’s been scientifically tested and proven to be so – we can ONLY hope that some of these claims might be retracted??

The presence of sodium pentobarbital is a bit of a concern though – see results here!

And here’s the Link to the whole FDA Article

Want to feed your dog in a hurry – but don’t want to resort to canned muck? Here’s a couple of quick Raw or BARF dog food meals that you can toss together in seconds!

1) Satay beef or turkey

500g/1 lb Pet or human grade mince beef or turkey (if pet grade make sure its fresh).
1 TBS of peanut butter
1 TBS fish or flaxseed oil (or a mix of half and half)
1/2 cup natural yoghurt
pinch of garlic powder
1 cup chopped or pureed spinach

2) Beef n Reef

250g/1/2 lb Pet or human grade mince beef (if pet grade make sure its fresh).
250g/1/2 lb canned salmon – drained
pinch of garlic powder
1 cup chopped or pureed mixed vegetables or grated raw carrot

For both recipes just add all ingredients together and serve – will be sufficient for a medium sized dog – Staffordshire, Kelpie, Heeler etc for 2 days, small dogs 3 – 4 days, large dog 1 meal (keep any surplus refrigerated).

A story I came across today highlights that the message about poor quality commercial food IS getting out! A woman here in Australia has started a home business making high quality gourmet treats for dogs and has been a hit – to the point where she has attracted interest for her products from overseas.

This happened when visiting tourists bought her products and then wanted to re-order once they returned home! While the prices of her products are so high as to make it impractical to feed full-time – it does show there’s a real market for high quality dog food!

News just in – of another pet food problem, this time with Chicken Jerky Treats!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has received more than 70 complaints involving nearly 100 dogs that have become severely ill after eating chicken jerky products that are of Chinese origin. Most of the dogs recovered, but some have died.

Since the problem has not been isolated to a particular brand, authorities advise avoiding chicken jerky products for now and say dog owners should beware of any treats produced in foreign countries.

Veterinarian, Dr. Jayne Jensen said “Read the labels very thoroughly. Look where they are from. A lot of these come in with kind of an American name on them, but they’re actually produced overseas. And as we’ve seen from previous experience, overseas products may not be as safe as ones that are made here,”.

Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people across the planet – are addicted to dog-food, right now – I kid you not!

Well, in truth they are actually addicted to the CONVENIENCE of dog food – as distinct from the actual food itself – I mean can you imagine anyone actually EATING that stuff!!

I’m told that the pet food industry in the USA alone – is an industry worth more than $65 Billion annually!

Folks think on that for a few seconds – that is 65,000 piles of 1 Million dollars, I’d reckon you might have problems fitting that much onto the surface of a football field? More than a little TREASURE that these corporations might want to have at – wouldn’t you say?

Westerners are eating more and more fast foods, because of convenience – and similarly – we choose convenience over quality for our dogs!

It’s sad but true, and people like myself – marketers of information products on dog health, battle against that convenience on a daily basis!

Also true – many people may NEVER feed their dogs good food, because all they care about is convenience!

Though there are an increasing number of quality food manufacturers, the dominant supermarket brands still fare very well, because they are convenient and their slick mega-million dollar advertising has many people convinced!

Notice that I did not say that what they offer is – cheap and convenient? That’s because it’s NOT CHEAP, even though in most cases they use the CHEAPEST ingredients they can get their big corporate hands on!

But we are able to feed our dogs All Fresh, Home-made Natural Cooked Dog Food for about 45c per day – WAY cheaper than canned slop – and far tastier and better for them too!

So what to do – some of you guys are NEVER going to stop feeding your dog that stuff?

Since I really do care about dogs – hence the name Dogloverstoolbox, lets see if I can’t get your dog even just a temporary reprieve from a life sentence of what really amounts to trash in a can or tasteless kibble made from waste products?

What if – you just gave your pooch a couple of days a week where you “let him off”?

And since you like convenience – I’ll make it just about as easy as opening a can?

Try this – purchase a couple of the big home brand cans of salmon, tuna or mackerel from the supermarket. If you have access to a catering supply store, you’ll be able to get bigger cans, REALLY cheap and might even find sardines in tomato sauce in large cans. Most dogs LOVE canned fish and there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s an excellent source of protein, vitamins and loaded with minerals – AND there are no preservatives, its simply cooked in the can!

Now also pick up a couple of (500g/1 pound) packets of rice, one white and one brown! Follow the microwave directions on the packets and cook enough rice for 2 days (generally 1/2 cup each white and brown for medium sized dogs) this will only be 1 serve/day for large dogs and might last 3 or 4 days in the fridge for the little guys.

Allow the rice to cool – then open the can of tuna, salmon or mackerel, drain off the brine or oil and mix with the rice, toss in some cooked chopped spinach too if you have it? Feed that to your dog a couple of days a week – he or she will love you for it!

RELAX, you can still go back to the SLOP when you have to – but just see how your dog fares on this real food?

Or – do you have some eggs in the fridge?

Even if they’ve been in there a couple of weeks, they’ll be better than that canned soy bean boosted mush! Toss them into a bowl – shells too if you like, they’re an excellent source of calcium and other minerals – but DO crush them up a bit! Then microwave that for a few minutes, allow to cool and mix with the rice and veggies?

Now – you wouldn’t feed this every day, but you ALMOST could, perhaps with an added dash of kelp powder, some fish or linseed oil and WOOF, WOOF your already on your way to a happier, healthier dog!

So I understand – you want convenience – but NOW your dog can have a couple of days a week where it gets REAL FOOD too!

STILL – think All Fresh, Home-made & Natural, Cooked Dog Food is TOO much of a stretch? Not really organised enough to do even that?

It’s OK – I DO understand – life can be really BUSY – but if you’re in the USA, there’s STILL hope for your pooch (us Aussies miss out on this great product)!

Visit Sojourner Farms, and learn more about their fresh foods program for dogs and cats, and how you can make all-natural, homemade pet food in minutes.

Mix meat, Sojos and water – it doesn’t get ANY EASIER than that? To date – they are the ONLY pet food manufacturer I will recommend, that is besides you and me! LOL!

SO NOW – maybe you’re a little bit curious about why I’m so tough on the ol’ commercial dog food manufacturers??
