Real Dogs Do it Canine Style
August 20th, 2009 | 
Author: Dogs are canines just like wolves yet for some reason dogs are treated like a different species than wolves. They are not animals anymore they are now simply pets.
Look in your dog’s mouth and you will see their canine teeth. Those teeth are not just there to make them look good. They are there to help them tear flesh off of their dinner. Unfortunately they can’t tear kibble apart so those teeth are pretty useless unless they are getting their species specific food.
Yes people will argue that it’s dangerous to feed raw and I’ve even heard the argument that feeding your dog raw food can turn them wild. This was coming from a man with a little white Maltese. I’m pretty sure that dog is going to stay sweet and cute after a bite of raw food.
Those reasons are only based on fear and lack of knowledge, not actual experience.
Guaranteed those people have not tried a species specific diet. If they had they would see their dog enjoys the food, lives through the day, and over a small amount of time shows increased health through their looks and their energy.
Those arguments are from three different branches. Fear based people, vets, or pet food companies.
These pro pet food’ people have read article after article of other fear based people who have been led to believe that man made pet food’ is the only way to keep your dog healthy.
Or else they have read the articles from the pet food companies themselves or from vets that strongly disagree with raw but never really seem to have a good argument.
Vets can’t have a good argument about this because they know that real food is better for your dog. It’s common sense.
The most valid argument I’ve seen is that it’s hard to balance the diet to ensure that your dog get’s the proper nutrition required.
Every dog requires the same main ingredients and there is a ratio of what they need. Once you learn this making their breakfast or dinner becomes easy. They need meat, organ meat, vegetables, oils, bone and minerals.
Depending on where they are in their life cycle they require different proportions of these ingredients and that is all learned very quickly once you begin to understand a species specific diet. Once you understand it your dog now is getting one hundred percent of the benefits out of their food that they could possibly get.
The pet food companies write articles because they want to sell their pet food’ and will do anything in their power to make you believe that their food is the healthiest and wisest choice you can make. They have a major advantage already with TV commercials.
Putting a dog on their commercial and making it look cute appeals to every single pet owner. I can’t help but smile at those commercials even though I know they are just trying to get people to buy their product. They tug at our heart strings.
They claim their food has real meat, vegetables, oils, and minerals jam packed into every piece of kibble yet in the same breath they advocate against feeding pets real meat, vegetables, oils, and minerals. Do you see how mixed up that is?
Why is it only okay when it’s from them? Because when you buy their product you are putting money into their pockets. It’s as simple as that.
Pet food is such a weird term in itself. There’s human food, animal food, and then pet food; I guess somewhere along the way pets become became not quite animals but not quite humans. It’s ridiculous.
The point I’m trying to make with this article is that people need to research this stuff for themselves. Don’t let other people tell you something and then just because they said so believe it.
Seeing is believing and I guarantee that once you feed your dog what they require you will see the difference and understand.
You have nothing to lose but the health of your pet. Start learning and informing yourself here.
