DRY/WET DOG FOOD







  There are also a few other brands that I know have great ingredients and that are NOT GRAIN FREE that you could feed.
I just have only used these brands myself and never had any issues. 

  

  IT IS RECOMMENDED to feed LOW OR NO CARBS.

  ** Supplementing with Probiotics and give healthy treats


  I ALSO SOAK THE DRY DOG KIBBLE IN WARM WATER for 20-30 MINS BEFORE FEEDING.
(just enough to cover the food)

    
*Please do your own research and see what is best for you to feed your family pet!

Meat vs. Meal
on Pet Food Labeling

What is the difference and what does it mean to your pets and you?

 Meat Fact: Chicken & Lamb are 70% water and only 12%  protein.
Pet food labels found in grocery and mass marketers like to use  Chicken or Lamb to represent real meat. When used without the addition of meat  meals, these protein sources contain 70% moisture, much of which is lost during  cooking. The label leads the consumer to believe that the
product is mostly meat  based when it may not be. Chicken or lamb meats are
heavier than grains prior to  cooking, but not after. Although the inclusion of fresh meats
may be beneficial,  the moisture contained in the meats (70%) is reduced by two-thirds during the  cooking process,  possibly leaving the total formula as a grain based food after processing.


Meal Fact: Chicken Meal and Lamb Meal are
dry and 70%
to  65% meat protein!
Example: Chicken Meal & Turkey Meal as the first ingredients. Chicken, Turkey and  Lamb meals are nearly
dry (5% moisture content) and contain 70% to 65% meat  proteins. During cooking, 
the meat meals do not shrink below the grain weight,  producing a true meat based
 formula for your pets.

Meat vs. Meal – Where should it really end up in the
  ingredient panel?

• Ingredients are listed on pet food packaging
  in order of
    predominance BEFORE they are cooked.
  
  
• Meat Meal is highly concentrated meat that is
  dehydrated,
    containing 5% moisture and 70% protein.
  
  
• Meat is wet, containing 70% water and only
  12% protein.
  
  
• When meat is cooked in the extrusion process,
  the moisture is
    removed, resulting in a very small percentage of  the
  total makeup of the
    finished pet food.
  
  
• When meat meal is cooked in the extrusion
  process, it is not
    diminished, resulting in a much larger makeup of the
  finished pet food.
  
  
• Although meat has its benefits, it
  really shouldn’t be the only animal protein source available for your pets
  as you would wind up with a grain based pet food.
