Keeping Your Dog Fit Without Dog Food
Calorie Requirements For Your Dogs - Feeding Your Dog Homemade Food
If you seen the results from several canned dog food investigations, you may have decided that you can do a better job feeding your dog food that you have prepared for them. But feeding a balanced diet may be harder to calculate than you may think. Let me give you a few things to consider before taking on this huge responsibility.
How much is too much? When it comes to keeping your dog fit and not overweight, you will need to consider how much you need to feed your dog. It all comes down to calories...the same way it is for the rest of us. In order for us to maintain our weight,and not gain pounds, we have to stick with the correct calorie recommendations for our body type, and size.
This is the same guideline we need to follow with our own dog. The average calorie requirement is 30 calories per pound of body weight per day to maintain their current body weight. A smaller active dog under 20 pounds can use up to 40 calories per pound per day. While a large dog over 50 pounds can get by with as little as 20 calories per pound per day.
But there are many factors to consider when determining the right amount of caloric intake for your dog. Inactive dogs or neutered dog in hot climates require less calories, while a working dog, herding dog, or one that spends the majority of their day outside may require above the average amount of calories.
Your dogs individual metabolism, exercise, age, environment and overall health will all help to determine what your dog really needs to remain lean and healthy. If your dog is overweight, increase his exercise, and decrease the calorie intake. A good rule of thumb would be to keep their calories at 60% of the normal requirement.
A complete chart of the "Caloric Requirements" for dogs based on these various needs...as well as recommendations for feeding your dog a balanced diet can be found when following the link below. It may surprise you when you see what food is good for your dog, and what food you should NEVER feed your dog.

What The Dog Food Label Is Hiding
Understanding The Dog Food Label - Reading Dog Food Labels
How much do you love your dog? A pretty silly question, don't you think? You're taking time out of your busy day to read information on the canine breed right now. So I know how much your dog means to you. So doesn't it make sense, then, that you'd select food for your dog that we know to be healthy and nutritionally sound?
Let me ask you, do you know the difference between the dog food label "Chicken Dog Food" and "Dog Food With Chicken"? What is the difference, you ask? About 22%. "Chicken Dog Food" has to have at least 25% chicken in the can, while "Dog Food With Chicken" has to only have 3% of chicken included in your dogs dinner delight!!
And the dog food manufacturers seem to be putting a lot of time, effort and money into convincing us that their products are natural and nutritionally sound with marketing gimmicks and eye-catching claims that tell us what we want to hear.
Don't spend extra money on dog food simply because "premium" is part of the description of the dog food. Products labled as "premium," "super-premium", "ultra-premium" or "gourmet" do not contain any different or higher quality ingredients, nor are they held up to any higher nutritional standards than are any other complete and balanced product.
The same way the dog food labeled with the term "natural" has little to no meaning. So I wouldn't be tempted by that term either. It can be the equivalent to a lack of artificial flavors, artificial colors, or artificial preservatives in the product.
Now that I have you a little more concerned about label reading, remember that all ingredients are to be listed in order of predominance by weigh. You will want MEAT to be the first on the list...followed by an absorbable grain, such as rice. Anything else is just not good enough for your pet!! A very simple rule to follow. I hope this information will have you spending a little more time in the dog food aisle from now on, reading what you're feeding your dog. And I have only touched a few of the highlights on this topic,you can read much more by following the link below.

Home Made Dog Biscuits
Healthy Homemade Dog Food Recipes - Dog Biscuits
If you have a dog, I'm sure you have spent plenty of time in the doggie aisle of WalMart, Target, or your favorite pet store searching for the perfect dog treat to give your dog upon your return home. Because they certainly deserve a treat for staying home, wouldn't you agree? But did you ever stop and think that you may be doing your dog more harm than good by giving them a dog biscuit sold off the shelf. You really have no idea what you are really feeding them, or how much fat you are feeding them.
The logical solution to this problem would be to make the biscuit yourself! Now you will know exactly what ingredients are in the homemade treat you are feeding them. As long as you remember that a treat is just that...a treat. Like an Oreo cookie is just an Oreo cookie. But let's not make a meal out of it! Although, the recipe I am about to share with you is much more healthy than that Oreo cookie you treated yourself with.
Biscuits For Dogs
• 1 cup oatmeal – uncooked
• 1/3 cup margarine
• 1 tablespoon beef bouillon granules
• 5 1/2 cups hot water
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder -- optional
• 3/4 cup powdered milk
• 3/4 cup cornmeal
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 whole egg -- beaten
Pour hot water over oatmeal, margarine, and bouillon; let stand for 6 min.
Stir in milk, cornmeal, and egg. Add flour, 1/2 c. at a time; mix well after each addition. Knead 3 - 4 min., adding more flour it necessary to make a very STIFF dough. Roll or pat dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut into dog bone shapes with cookie cutter.
Bake at 325 degrees for 50 min. on baking parchment Allow to cool and dry out until hard.
Store in container.
I hope you will discover how easy this is. How you will also be saving yourself money, and giving your dog a treat that is much better for them. To get more great receipes for homemade dog food meals, and dog treats, follow the link below.

Comparing Nutrition Value Of Dog Food
Investigating One Brand Of Dog Food With The Others
We have recently come to the conclusion that commercial dog foods are nutritionally evil, and that the best diet is a homemade diet. But three factors may still sway you towards purchasing, rather than making your own food for your pet.
1) You're just not much of a cook,
2) There's the whole (obvious) convenience factor.
3) You may not be confident in your abilities to correctly ascertain your dog's needs, and the appropriate nutritional balance.
We came to your rescue! In a recent study of all the major brands (and not so major brands) of dog food, were all put to the test, rating one against the other. Paying close attention to all the ingredients that make up their product. We wanted to see if there were any dog food products that were safe to feed your dog, that wouldn't possibly cause health problems in the coming years..
Very interesting to see none of the major brands making it on the recommended list! So if you decide to go withthe winners, you will have to make the purchase online, or possibly check at the pet stores and maybe your vets office for the dog food that topped the list.
One ingredient that came up quite often was Menadione Sodium Bisulfate, a synthetic form of Vitamin K. This ingredient is both unnecessary and potentially harmful. It has been linked to the following:
v Liver cell cytotoxicity
v Weakened immune systems
v Potential mutagenic effects
v Damage to the natural Vitamin K cycle
v Hemolytic anemia and jaundice
v Direct toxicity in high doses
v Irritation of the skin and mucous membranes
v Allergic reactions and eczema
Bad marks were given to those that used corn, wheat, "by-products", dairy, sugars, artificial colors, flavors and chemical preservatives. It was surprising to see corn as the first ingredient on many of the major dog food cans. Other common finds were Chicken By-product
Meal, Meat Meal, Meat & Bone Meal, Animal Fat.
You will certainly want to get the scoop on who scored the highest, and who didn't make the list at all. This study may motivate you to try your hand at baking a delicious homemade doggie recipe, or doggie biscuit in the near future!

Dog Food Companys Are Hiding Truth
Canned Dog Food Health Investigation
The heavy advertising done by the big name dog food companies are intended to gain your trust, and make you believe they care about you and your dog. But as they are taking your hard-earned money with one hand they are passing you a deadly, nutritionally inadequate, dog-killing cocktail with the other!
That may be a pretty strong statement, but your dog food is filled with preservatives, known to inflict on our innocent dogs, horrendous diseases like multiple cancers, kidney failure, liver failure, immune system collapse and many more heartless ways to die.
Add to their menu processed fecal matter of other dead animals, road kill, the decaying carcasses of dead dogs, cats, zoo animals and animal control, the deadly poison, Sodium Pentobarbital, (used to kill the animals already mentioned) by lethal injection, as well as pet collars, flea collars, ID tags, plastic bags and more!!
If you continue to feed your dog exclusively on commercial pet food, you are dooming them to a painful, traumatic death - an innocent death! And now that you know the truth, you too can be held responsible if you do nothing about it.
So, what's the solution...there has to be a solution...there has to be something we can do for our pets!
If you want to save your dog from the horrific death suffered by hundreds of other dogs in your local area, probably in the last year alone, then you MUST follow these 3 steps:
Step 1 - Stop using commercial dog food as your dog's only or main source of food. This step is the most important and you should make the change in the next couple of days.
Step 2 - Learn how to read commercial dog food labels. It's not practical for most people to never use commercial dog food ever again. Although not best case, you can use it sparingly for maybe a few meals during the week.
Step 3 - Get some healthy, well-balanced dog food recipes and start feeding your dog home made food. I have a huge collection I'm happy to share with you. It's very easy, if you know how to cook specifically for dogs. Just cook a large batch, freeze it and it can be eaten over several days.
NOTE: Be sure you have a good source of recipes written especially for dogs because they have very specific requirements, different to humans. It's possible to love your dog to death with too much of the wrong foods. So first do your homework.
