How come humans dont eat dog food, but dogs will eat dog and human food?
July 28th, 2009
I mean ya some dog food is alright, but how come dogs will basically eat anything either dog or human food, but humans will only eat human food?
Dogs will also eat poop…and I don’t know about you,but I don’t find that appealing at all.
Humans are a higher species (well they should be, I’ve met some people that make me wonder!) and use all 6 senses to enjoy their food. Eating for us isn’t based on survival anymore, especially if you’re american. It’s become one of our favorite past times!
Dogs eat to survive. If it looks edible, they try it.
how much pet food should i give to my puppy 3 month?
July 28th, 2009
hi people, pls help me. i hav mini schnauzer 3 months old and i dont know how much pet food should i give..
now im trying to give 1 cup in morning, 1.5cup in noon and 1 cup at evening.
i feel im making a mistake because when i saw my puppy eating i think she wants more XD
help me and thanks in advance.
Depends on her weight and the food you are giving her. That amount sounds very excessive for a miniature schnauzer, though. My Miniature Pinscher (8 months and 8 pounds) gets 1/2 cup of high quality kibble split in two feedings with a couple of tablespoons of canned in to help get him to eat (he’s picky). He is in good weight. Look at the bag your dog food came in, use the amount given, split between the 3 feedings. If she is losing weight, add some, if she’s getting chubby with that amount, feed a little less.
Pet Food - A Decision That Will Affect Their Health
July 28th, 2009
Over time, it has become increasingly apparent that we need to watch what we eat in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce the effects of aging and diseases in the body. Our pets are in the same position as we are. By eating foods that are hard to digest, full of chemicals or contain little nutritional value, we are reducing the quality and the length of life of mans best friend.
Just imagine if we were to live on a diet completely made from synthetic materials and empty calories, or what we would call junk food. Because of this lifestyle, our health would suffer. We would be more likely to suffer from disease and reduce our lifespan considerably. The same applies to our pets, and often without our knowing it, we are the main cause of this problem.
Buying dog foods from the supermarket shelf is much the same as buying junk food for us; many dog foods contain chemical and flavor enhancers, the food which is often poor in quality, and most definitely not suitable for human consumption.
The process in which many dog foods are made includes rigorous cooking techniques, which destroys the natural colorings and flavors in the food. The result is that your pet may be eating artificial colors and flavors as well as missing out on the nutritional value of quality wholesome ingredients needed to live a healthy life.
The best way to find out what it is you are feeding your pet is to investigate the ingredients that are in the dog food; the first five ingredients listed on the label are the main content of the food. If the dog food contains by-products this is usually parts of animals that are low in protein and not really good for your pet, for example, ground feet, bones and intestines.
Look out for chemical preservatives used to keep the food from spoiling; these are often called BHA and BHT. Grains, such as corn, wheat, gluten, and soy are also very difficult for your pet to digest, and are used as a protein source, instead of meat products.
Ideally, a pet food should contain wholesome ingredients that are easy for your pet to digest; the main ingredient should be meat, quality meat that is fit for human consumption. Vegetables, anti oxidants, bacteria cultures, and protenated minerals should also be high on the list. Grains are not ideal for pets, with the exception of whole grain brown rice, which is easy for your pet to digest as well as helping to promote a healthy coat.
All of these impressive ingredients are useless, unless a proper technique free of colorings and flavorings are used. Pet food should be cooked in a way that locks in the protein, minerals, and fibers right from the start, without the need for artificial ingredients to be added.
Your pet deserves the chance to live a healthy lifestyle, just the same as its owners do. By providing nutritional, healthy wholesome premium dog and cat food for your pet, you can show your best friends how much you really care for them.
