Are you sick and tired of hearing in the news that one minute something is good for you and the next it can kill you?  Well it’s the same for Dog Food.

There’s so many conflicting views it’s confusing.  I personally don’t feed Billy canned dog food.  I believe it’s like giving your kids McDonald’s every night.  It might taste good to them in the moment but you can’t live off it.  It’ll  do much more damage in the long run costing you at the vet!!!

With your dog’s dry food/kibble, have you ever dropped one in water and watched it expand?  That’s what it’s doing inside your dog’s belly!

Way back, when we were in the dog show world there was an advertisement on TV saying, “Top Breeders Recommend Pal”!!!  Well, we were around a lot of top breeders and let me tell you NONE of them recommended that brand of food.  It went straight through the dogs with absolutely no nutritional value.  This is how misleading advertising is.

It can claim to be nutritional but is it really?  What process does this so called nutritional food have to go through to get it into a small round hard bite?

I admit, I’m a bit of a control freak (as much as life allows me to be anyway) and I much prefer to make Billy’s food from fresh meat and vegetables.  I’m not here to ‘dis’ on anyone I’m here to educate you about what’s going into your dog’s food.

We went to a well known pet store in our area yesterday, purely to buy a Staffy Calendar for next year!  There were people and dogs everywhere, all walking the aisles and being groomed and everyone was happy.  This is a great sight don’t get me wrong.

What  was confusing were the rows and rows of dog food all ‘claiming’ to be nutritional but are they really?

As a pet owner you want to do the best for your pets, you want to buy them the best food that’s full of goodness.  I get that not everyone has the time to make their dog’s food from scratch.

What you do want is to be informed about the food you are buying for them.
