Proper Dog Nutrition
September 19th, 2009
Dog nutrition is all about nutrients, or what your dog eats as food to keep him healthy. There are six families of nutrients:
proteins, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. Dog nutrition is critical for the longevity of your dog. Proper
balanced pet diets increase the life-span of your dog. Dog nutrition is one of the most essential subjects to learn. Since
dogs are active animals, they do eat a lot and they need proper nutrition as well as humans do.
Dog nutrition is just as important, if not more essential, than loving your dog. If you want to truly show how much you love
and care about them it is essential that you keep them healthy with a proper diet. Dog nutrition is very crucial when
preparing dog food. We all know that the ideal food to feed to newborn puppies is their mother’s milk.
Pet foods are not regulated like our food is so it is critical to read the ingredient labels. General dog nutrition is the
same as human nutrition; the more natural, the better. Pet owners were devastated to learn that the food the manufacturers
passed off as safe was making their pets deathly ill. Some actually died before the food was withdrawn from store shelves.
Choose several excellent brands and alternate between them every month or so. This will help you to avoid any dangers
accidentally posed by one brand while ensuring that your pet receives the absolute best dog nutrition. Choosing a quality pet
food for your dog should not be difficult. However, since the pet food recall, it’s hard to know who to trust.
Pet Medical Recorder is a simple to use software tool which will generate a set of special forms to allow you to keep track
of all your dog’s medical and treatment information. It will keep records of vaccinations, worming and flea control, so you
can see at a glance when the treatment needs repeating.
Naturally we want our dogs to live with us for as long as possible. Natural oils must also be included in dog’s nutrition
because they are a source of energy and acids that provide your dog with the best skin and hair care.

How can I get proper nutrition as a college vegetarian student?
September 19th, 2009 at 7:20 PMI’m on a 5-day meal plan, and i live in a dorm(microwave,fridge). So i need some food ideas for on the weekend, that are easy and convenient. Also I’m concerned about making sure I’m getting all the proper & needed nutrition. Budget friendly ideas would be awesome as well!
Thanks

Take a good multivitamin every morning and don’t forget to keep nutritious drinks like milk (or soy milk?) in your fridge.

Probably the best suggestion I have for you is the to go buy the PETA College Vegan Handbook. I know, it’s vegan, but you can very easily sub real cheese for the vegan cheese they suggest in many of the recipes. All of the recipes are cheap and the nice thing is that none require a stove. You can do it all in the microwave. It is geared specifically to college kids…or lazy career people. You can find it on amazon here.
