5 Benefits To Feeding Your Dog Premium Dog Food

We dog care givers are now somewhat protected against misleading dog food labels. That's because of the oversight, rules, regulations and requirements of AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials). But, unless we know what these rules are and how they are applied to the wording on labels they're of no use to us. With so many different dog food companies vying for your dog food dollar, how do you know which dog food to choose to keep your dog healthy? Do you choose dry, moist, or a combination of both? High protein, low protein, other nutrients, what exactly do you look for?

The U.S pet food industry is a $15 billion a year business and the top pet food manufacturers are owned by multinational companies. Some of these companies spend millions on advertising campaigns every year and for good reasons. Pet food provides a good dumping ground for their waste products, which are unfit for human consumption, to be turned into profits. Some also contains dangerous chemical preservatives and meat by-products that may include decayed meat or even the remains of companion pet animals!

Perhaps it's the cost. Nowadays, anything that is preceded by  "organic" in their labels usually come with a high tag price, dog    food included. Not too long ago, when organic products were just making  their way into the market, their costs were prohibitive. But as more  and more organic products are being introduced to and are flooding the   market, the prices are gradually going down. If your budget is tight,  you may find organic dog food to be pricey.

It is clear, both from what we see on the news and from what we are experiencing, that dog food companies do not have both dogs and the owners of dogs' best interests at heart. They are mass-producing junk food for our dogs and expecting us not to take notice.
