Because of
the recent problem with contaminated dog foods, many of my clients
have been asking me for dog food recommendations.
I don't recommend ANY of the dog
foods you can buy in stores. The
commercial dog foods sold in stores all contain fillers, by-products and
chemical preservatives. They need to be transported and stored over long
periods of time, so they all contain chemical preservatives.
Also, dog food companies use things
like wheat and soy to increase the protein percentage that you read on the bag,
but these fillers are not digestible. The bag might indicate a high protein
percentage, but if they’re not digestible proteins it just becomes more for you
to clean up in the yard.
For these and other reasons I don’t recommend
ANY of the dog foods you can buy in stores.
The only commercial dog food I
recommend is "Life's Abundance" dog food, which is only available
online. You can purchase it at www.naturalfoodfordogs.com
Formulated by internationally known
holistic veterinarian Dr. Jane Bicks, the primary ingredient in this kibble is
HUMAN-GRADE chicken. It also contains egg which is one of the most digestible
forms of protein and is full of vitamins A, B, E, K, biotin and amino acids.
Also it has fish meal, which is high
in Omega-3 fatty acids. This is an all-natural food rich in antioxidants from
whole food sources and it’s the only food I know of that uses probiotics and
beet pulp for a healthy digestive tract, with lactobacillus acidophilus to help
maintain a balance of friendly bacteria in your dog's intestines.
I’ve been feeding Life’s Abundance to
my own dogs and to all of our rescue and foster dogs for years, and it’s great.
Dogs with loose stools have firmed right up and even the most "finicky"
eaters will devour it. We no longer have
to add supplements (fish oil etc.) to their diets - everything is properly
formulated in one easy to feed dry kibble.
It’s a high quality food that will
give you the benefits of feeding a raw diet, without the high costs and hassle
of a raw diet. Even though the price per bag is high, you’ll feed
less of it (no fillers) so the net cost is about the same as store-bought
food. It’s made in the U.S. of high
quality ingredients under the supervision of a holistic veterinarian, and there
has never been a recall: www.naturalfoodfordogs.com
