January 4, 2008 at 1:17 pm · Filed under Natural Dog Food

Tip! There are many reasons why a dog might be put on a special diet. Some dogs are very sensitive to certain ingredients in commercial dog foods.

Though sometimes would like to believe otherwise, food is a dog’s first priority, so the first step to successful training is to establish yourself as the leader, this can be acheived by showing him that he can only have his food at your discretion and command. Give him his dinner, allow him to eat for a few seconds, then take his bowl away from him. Use an appropriate sound each time you do so, such as “leave” or “stop”, and keep the bowl for a few seconds.Provided he didn’t show any aggression as you removed the bowl, tell him how ‘good boy’,give it back and allow him to continue eating. Repeat this two or three times during each meal for a few days, then once or twice a week for a few weeks.

Dog Health – Creative Dog (Pride dog food) Food Recipes

Tip! Lower end dog foods usually contain corn meal as one of the main ingredients (an acceptable protein source, but may cause allergies in some dogs), plus chicken or animal byproducts or rendered meat/poultry. Byproducts are ground, rendered, pieces of the carcasses of slaughtered animals or poultry and can include heads, feet, necks, and viscera.

Most vets and dog experts will tell you to stay with one dog food and wean your dog off the old one if you start a new one. Contrary to the belief that dogs don’t care about variety, variety may just be what your dog needs. I know my dog gets tired of the same old food after a while. Also, I believe there is nothing wrong with mixing in some table scraps with dry kibble. I would even recommend it if the food (for example is meat or chicken) is cooked by itself and no oil or flavoring added. Chopped up raw or cooked vegetables is an excellent addition, as is a tablespoon of rice each meal for your dog’s health. You will be surprised at how much your dog will enjoy vegetables. If he doesn’t eat it, it may not be chopped up finely enough.
