If you are willing to spend the extra money, high quality dog food has many benefits for the health and well being of your furry friend. Including the way they look and feel. You will notice these benefits almost immediately.

But no matter what you spend, the way you like to be treated should be the way you treat your animals if not better. When you buy the inexpensive brand you know the saying \”you get what you pay for.\” Most veterinarians say these inexpensive brands would compare to taking a piece of cardboard, dipping it in gravy and serving it to your most beloved animal. All this does is it fills their stomachs but it does not give them the nutrition most animals need to thrive. Once your pet gets use to all the high levels of nutrition and all the good calories to go along with it, they will start to eat less than before.

The long and short term benefits of this upgrade are innumerable. Higher quality foods, including home made dog food recipes which are abundant and easy to find online if you search for \”home made dog food\”, provide your animal with a shinier coat, clear eyes, normal bowel movements and a generally happier disposition.

Most dogs tend to be allergic to the lower grade ingredients found in cheap dog food. Once you switch to the higher quality food , you will notice that your dog now tends to scratch less and they will not shed as much as before. A lot of breeds are prone to yeast developing in their ears but if your dog is healthy they will not be prone to this. Their bodies will be able to heal a lot faster after having surgery, accident or just a simple procedure.

Believe it or not, they will actually learn quicker as well. Isn’t your mind and body more in tune when you feed yourself well, instead of starving, or living on a diet of \”junk food\”? It is the same with our dogs. A high quality dog food will improve their minds as well as their bodies.

I am the proud owner of a Saint Bernard. I adopted him after a semi truck had struck him, and he walked away with minor scratches. After they put some stitches on him his owner decided to dump him at the nearest shelter since he was not considered a \”show quality\” dog any more. When we bought him home we kept him on the same food the shelter had him on. He had a few bare spots on his legs and back area from a rash he acquired at the kennel. So I decided to bring him back to the shelter to see what they would recommend for this rash, they gave me a simple ointment to apply so I did for two weeks with no avail, he even started having loose bowel movement, so I decided to bring him to the vet. The vet came out and told me that he was not getting enough protein in his diet, so I upgraded to the next expensive brand thinking about a 180 lbs dog would leave me homeless but his rashes got better and a couple of them even went away.

The best results came when I bought the higher quality dog food. And after a few weeks he was almost completely healed. His ears even stopped itching, and his fur is so much softer and shinier. He has gained almost 50 pounds, and he has become the sweetest gigantic dog I have ever had.

I truly believe that, what you give is what you get. We all need a good diet, and so do our furry friends. It is necessary to care and to respect every aspect of their needs. Not to do so is extremely neglectful, and uncaring, and a terrible, terrible shame.
