When you go to the grocery or pet store to get your dog a bag of dog food, do you know what's inside of it? If you ever take a look at the long list of ingredients, you will find things like corn and gluten. These are fillers because it is what keeps the dog food so cheap.
You don't buy food for yourself with a lot of fillers, so you shouldn't do buy food like that for your dog, either. Grain free dog food can be found - and this allows your dog to eat cleaner. Some of the benefits to eating cleaner include:
- Healthier skin
- Healthier and more vibrant coat
- Better digestive system
- Stronger immune system
When you look at all of these benefits, you may wonder why you didn't introduce your dog to grain free dog food a long time ago. It is available on the market, but you need to know what to look for. Most dog food brands will identify if it is grain free because it is a big deal. It's a selling point and no company is going to hide the fact that there are no grains.
If you look at the dog food that you are giving your dog now, you can find out what grains are inside. There may be soy, gluten, wheat, or corn inside - and possibly all of them. This can add weight to your dog and make it harder to digest. If your dog doesn't seem like his usual self, it may have to do with what you're feeding him.
Here's the good news. You can change all of it around by making the introduction to grain free dog food. The food will be more flavorful and it will be healthier for your dog.
You may want to get a bag and start mixing it with the old food until you have run out of the old food. This ensures you don't waste what you already have in the house. Each time you feed your dog the new stuff, you can add more of it and less of the old stuff. Before you know it, you will be out of the old and giving your dog the new stuff entirely.
Your dog probably won't notice the difference. If your dog does notice, it will be because the flavor is bolder and he will enjoy dinner time with more fervor.
When you decide to make the change to grain free dog food, you do want to make sure you get a formula that is good for your dog. If your dog is a puppy or a senior, there are formulas that can help with energy levels or even with joint pain. If your dog is an outdoor dog that leads an active lifestyle..
Take the time to introduce your dog to something tastier and healthier - and your dog will love you for it.
