Check the ingredients on the bag of food you are feeding your dog. If you see the words "by-products" be warned! Dog food is not regulated the same way as human grade food is, and things like eyeballs, intestines, feet, beaks, feathers, euthanized cattle, pigs, cats and dogs, etc...are allowed to be in pet foods! When you feed your dog premium pet food, holistic foods, or home cooking, your pet's overall health will improve, including food allergies and skin conditions--the risk of cancer can even decrease with premium food and vitamin supplements. It is not a coincidence that before the 1950's, when commercial dog foods were popular, dogs were living longer and healthier lives by eating what their families ate. Some excellent brands to try are below. I have only included those foods that, to my knowledge, are holistic and/or free of pesticides, chemicals, by-products, and artificial preservatives, like BHA, BHT, and Ethoxyquin which are linked to cancers! If you know of a food that is missing from the list, AND it meets this criteria, please e-mail me at bxrmama@new.rr.com --I'll be happy to add it.
Gator is fed a high quality food and it shows! Look at that shiny coat!
