Some
wise words as food for thought (pardon the pun!)
Dogs are
not our whole life,
but they make our lives whole.
- Roger Caras
According
to online sources, the NRC or National Research Council's
Committee on Animal Nutrition was the first group to establish
minimal requirements for canine nutrition. Lots have recently
and over time, occurred, developed in markets, understanding,
research, even recalls and pet deaths (related and traced
to pet food) have made all pet owners more weary and more
motivated than ever… to get the best possible value
for their dollar, but more (if not MOST!) importantly…
GET
BALANCED, HEALTHY WHOLESOME FOOD FOR THEIR PETS.
THREE
GREAT REASONS TO GET THE BOOK:
This
goes beyond mere product, brand, choice, cost, suppliers
It represents
a wider, broader and deeper quest, search and determination
of pet-owners and pet-lovers
To provide
the best stewardship, companionship and care they possible
can!
IF
THIS STILL DOES NOT CONVINCE YOU (YET), MAYBE CONSIDER THE
FOLLOWING … (YES, WE DEMAND MORE FOR OUR PETS TOO!!)
Knowing
what to feed your best canine friend(s), can be quite the
challenge.
Many
options in the marketplace abound. Reading the nutrition
labels only tell half the story.
Owners
and pet lovers need to know what they are putting into the
systems of their pets.
This
growing, expanding market offers great choice and options,
for varying budgets and preferences needs to be understood
to be tapped into effectively.
Are
you aware of what the
best/better choices would be for food/nutrition for your
dog?
IF
NOT, THEN STAY TUNED AND GET THIS BOOK, TAKE THE COURSE
AND KNOW ONCE AND FOR ALL WHAT MATTERS MOST AND CAN MAKE
A DIFFERENCE WHEN FEEDING YOUR PET!
Pet
nutrition science, pet food marketing information can be
confusing and overwhelming, but you can make healthier choices
for your dog. Commercially you can find many quality products,
for smaller and larger breeds of dogs. Most owners are looking
for complete and balanced nutrition. Fats and proteins are
not all your dog will need. There are many claims that some
foods are better or so-called naturally healthier. This
is not necessarily true.
Here
are just some of the criteria you can utilize to screen
for the best value and quality dog food:
Palatability (taste)
Acceptability
Cost
Digestibility
Suitability
(**
NOTE: you possibly might even have some to add to this list!)
For
optimal health and vitality of your dogs/pets, they do not
necessarily need high levels of proteins. Too much of a
good thing is never good (we all know that!). (THOSE ARE
JUST SOME OF THE MYTHS THAT GET DEBUNKED IN THIS BOOK! FIND
MORE – GET YOUR COPY NOW! ORDER DETAILS HERE!)
Obesity
and nutritional disorders are on the rise, with more and
more conscious decision-making about ingredients, formulations
etc. put into focus… the VERY REAL AND PRESSING NEED
to take issue with what, how much dogs are consuming, balanced
living and nutrition CAN NO LONGER BE IGNORED. IT IS TIME
TO ACT!
HOW
DO THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS AFFECT AND CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR
DOG’S OVERALL HEALTH? SHOULD THEY OR SHOULD THEY NOT
BE IN YOUR DOG’s DAILY, OCCASIONAL AND HEALTHY BALANCED
DIET? (DO YOU KNOW? DO YOU CARE? – WELL NOW YOU CAN
KNOW ONCE AND FOR ALL, FOR SURE!)
anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting elements
chelated
minerals
colostrums
creatine
monohydrate
electrolytes
glucosamine
glucose
polymers
Omega
3 fatty acids
powerful
amino acids
vitamins
...
as well as, of course, TASTE, CALORIES, FATS & PRICE!
** NOTE: Once you know the energy density and caloric
distribution, you can determine the amount of a particular
food to give your dog.
FIVE
MORE WAYS PET-OWNERS CAN HELP THEIR PETS EAT
AND STAY HEALTHIER LONGER WITH THE SECRETS AND TIPS IN THE
BOOK:
Protect from disease and developing chronic diseases with
good nutrition.
If the
animal does get sick, it will get better faster too, NOT
staying sick longer.
Ensure longevity and optimal functioning through all stages
of life for your dogs.
Protection,
helping and enabling is what you are doing if you pick and
feed them the right type, quality and amount of food with
each feeding.
Losing,
maintaining weight are both critical for the types of food,
amount, dog you have, its ultimate health and wellbeing,
even longevity.

HOW HERE AND NOW –

Illness,
disease and weight gain/loss often go hand in hand. There
are many complex reasons, interconnected aspects and root
causes that might be leading to weight fluctuations, gains
or loss. Treatment professionals and regular visits, check-ups
and weigh-ins can help you track and monitor, ascertain
whether this is an issue where your pet is concerned. Essential
is to find out once and for all, whether medical or genetic
factors are at play here, OR if it is just feeding habits,
quantities, treats, type of food, lack of a fully-rounded,
exercise-filled daily routines, activities and exercise.
Groundbreaking
diagnostic tools, effective medications or other alternative
holistic therapies can make a world of difference too. You
can ensure that your pet is not prematurely or eventually
suffering from either these types of challenges or at your
own hand!
Other
reasons pets gain weight can have something to do with their
age, development stage or phase of life.
Aging
very much is part of a dog’s life too, it is inevitable,
undeniable and needs to be addressed. You will, can and
should not be feeding a puppy, growing, adult or aging pet
quite the same food, amounts and treating their bodies,
needs differently almost is a no-brainer for most. So much
so that it often goes overlooked or underestimated, even
ignored!
Shedding
light on this aspect, the veterinarian can provide useful
information on what these needs are, how they change over
time, the best strategy, products and priorities that you
can follow and things to do together to ensure balanced
living, nutrition and health, maintaining a good, healthy
body weight (regardless of breed, size or age!) Never undervalue
that insights and shared wisdom from following a trusted
qualified, caring veterinarian’s advice and treatment
options. A quick check-up, routine examination or full-spectrum
blood tests can provide some more insights into what you
need to do, change or intervene with in the life, menu,
serving, eating, routines of/for your pet and household,
care and activities that you share and enjoy together.
Treatment
and intervention for illness or disease is of cardinal and
utmost importance. Relief, longevity and quality of life
for both you and your pet goes beyond the feeding dish and
daily walks!
Other
TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE
Snacking and reward, treats and encouragement (non-food
items, healthy alternatives), suggestions and recommendations

A critical
revelation for most pet owners, pet-lovers is that they
might be to blame or contributing to excess weight in their
pets. We do not intentionally mean to harm or overfeed our
pets. Our habits, routines and choices just need to be brought
into full awareness, under scrutiny and potentially even
adjusted, eliminated in some cases, to ensure that our pets
are not getting the wrong message and nutrition (despite
of or because of our feeding, snacking, treating, loving
pampering, ‘care’ and TLC!)
Pets
that carry excess weight are at increased risk of developing
illness, disease, die prematurely or even get complications,
have difficulty moving and making it a top priority to have
them take in less calories daily, to lose and maintain weight
will become a daily routine, necessary adjustment for both
owner/handler/lover and pet. The relationship with each
other and with food will change forever and for the better!
NOW, THE BUCK HAS TO STOP HERE! IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE!
ONCE AND FOR ALL, FOR GOOD! FOR THE HEALTH, FUTURE, WELL-BEING
AND LONGEVITY OF YOUR BELOVED CANINE COMPANION(S)!
Excess
calorie intake, gets stored in our bodies (and those of
our pets) as fat (energy storage). We are in constant survival
mode as far as that is concerned and this is part of how
we are designed and hot-wired to an extent.
WHAT
IS YOUR ACTION PLAN FOR YOUR DOG’s HEALTH AND WEIGHT
MANAGEMENT OVER THE SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONGER TERM?
If
they are eating too much, simply put, they are not using
all the energy and nutritional sources, which will mean
the body excretes waste products, it does not need and stores
the unused calories, as fat! Still wondering where all that
weight gain and excess fat is coming from – start
writing down in a daily food journal everything your pet
consumes in a 24 hour period (over say 1 week) You will
or might be astonished, surprised and prone to do things
differently forever once you do this simple activity. Most
of us go about our business (feeding our pets), without
sparing a thought of how what we are in fact doing, might
be putting them at increased risk. Once you know or are
aware of it, it is a no-brainer – things have to change!
Even
just lessening calorie intake by 5-10% can make a world
of difference in the life, health and weight of your dog.
Make it a priority to help them to lose weight, be more
active, eat less, eat better and use their energies, burning
fat (stored), calories and enjoying life, not over-indulging,
binging, over-eating! Also, take precautions not to starve
or under-nourish your pet with unrealistic expectations,
harming your animal in the long-run. Discuss your options
and strategies with your veterinarian for practical tips
and implementation over time, in the short, medium and longer
time-spans and periods.
TAKE
SOME BOLD STEPS FORWARD WITH CANINE NUTRITION!
Making balanced nutrition a TOP PRIORITY
Moderation
as some of the master-keys and secrets at play and work
here.
Moving
beyond feeding, foods, treats and snacks, brands, portion
sizes
Taking
a MORE holistic view and broader, in-depth topic of health,
nutrition as a whole.
Monitoring,
planning, executing with precision and a plan is better
than randomly going about filling dishes and serving treats
when you think or feel like it.
REALIZE
and REMEMBER….What you are doing in effect, will affect
the health, diet, well-being and weight, even longevity
of your pet. You will encounter and hear this phrase a lot
in the unfolding pages and ecourse over and over again.
It
is as if we know and recognize it, but when it comes to
doing the right things, we tend to shy away from it, forget
or overlook its true value and contributions!
QUALITY
PET NUTRITION IS HERE TO STAY! DOING THE RIGHT THINGS FOR
THE RIGHT REASONS CAN HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE QUALITY
OF LIFE AND HEALTH OF OUR PETS! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Understand
why and how dog’s body, systems and whole health work
What could underlie weight loss of gain?
What getting spayed or neutered has to do with it?
What happens when dogs age and they start using or needing
less energy, needing fewer calories in their diet and actually
EATING TOO MUCH!
How dogs end up gaining excess weight, storing fat and increasing
their size
Role and value of practical, structured, gradual calorie
intake reduction.
Less
calories, less stored fat, less weight gain, more activity,
healthy weight, active lifestyle – those are the key
ingredients for what will make the difference for wellbeing
and maintenance over time, even if your pet is ‘fixed’,
spayed or neutered!
**
NOTE: Did you know that there are increases in risk of skeletal
diseases in medium and large breeds predisposed to developmental
bone disorders based on some types and quantities of high-protein,
high-fat type diets, brands of dog-food?
It
certainly sounds good to give a developing dog something
that will help with their muscles, skeletal structure development,
right? Well, it could also have dire consequences, as we
keep discovering (depending also on whom you choose to ask
about it!)
FINALLY,
TAKE CHARGE, CONTROL, CHANGE AND IMPACT YOUR PET’S
DIET, NUTRITION, FOOD, FEEDING, WEIGHT AND OVERALL HEALTH!
Take
real issue, be informed and make wiser, smarter choices
regarding (i) the nutritional requirements of the dog for
the purpose of selecting good-quality dog food. (ii) common
misconceptions regarding feeding and supplementation (iii)
medical findings as they pertain to dog nutrition, foods,
brands, weight, etc.
Although
they are meat-eaters, a balanced nutritional plan is key
for dogs. Every individual pet will have special and specific
needs, so what is good/great for one, might not suit the
purposes and requirements of another. Unique dietary needs
and requirements will have to and might need to be addressed
and considered separately – there is no ONE SIZE FITS

SOME
PRATICAL TIPS TO FURTHER WHET YOUR APPETITE…
Stick to what works! Do not change the diet too often, of
the dog might develop some quirky palette preferences or
strange eating habits (balanced variety is good)
Stick
to a particular brand of dog food (if it works for your
pet) – there is not a need to change it
Change
the brand, type of food if there is any allergic response,
adverse reaction or performance issue related to the food
Do not
change the food frequently that could lead to gastrointestinal
upset
Allow
for 10 minutes to eat, with bowl-removal when time lapsed
, even if there is food left over
Avoid
irritation by making gradual changes (6 weeks – 3
month time-frame)
Feeding
less and smaller meals more often is better, managing metabolism,
blood-sugars and energy levels throughout the day
Do all
you can to avoid potential gastrointestinal complications
or even bloating
Avoid
excess food consumption, excess water intake, or build up
of gas
Be aware
that it can lead to a distended stomach cutting off vital
blood supply.
No drinking
of large volumes of water or exercise immediately after
eating
**
NOTE: If dogs do or have ingested anything harmful TO DOGS,
(however small the quantity), contact a veterinarian or
animal poison control immediately without delay and get
medical attention. They would recommend you induce vomiting
within two hours of ingestion.
Some
questions to ask yourself about your dog’s nutrition:
How can they form an intricate part of overall nutrition,
meals and daily routines and how can you then incorporate
them into your pet's daily lifestyle (without leading to
more and unnecessary weight gain)? Does your dog/pet have
specific needs in weight loss that this food, portions would
enable, hinder or help?
How
will if affect my dog?
Is it
and does it offer enough for your dog to live, survive and
thrive on OR too much of things he/she does not need?
What
is the nutritional value of the total package?
It
is more about following and having a balanced diet, than
it is about lower calories and weight loss!! GET THE PET

Serving
sizes and recommended portions will vary, depending on the
manufacturer, type of food, dog it is catering to. Again
these are averages and remember, it comes from those selling
the product, interested not so much in your pet’s
health necessarily, but seeing more of the products flying
off the shelf. Typically the suggestion is to discuss your
dog’s nutritional needs with your professional care-giver,
veterinarian to get the optimal weight, size and needs within
acceptable parameters for your dog specifically, on a case-by-case
merit. No two dogs are the same (not even from the same
litter). Their needs will be unique upon themselves and
even in a multi-dog, pet home, what is good for one, might
not be so for the other (genetics, breed, age, sequence
of birth etc.
Balanced
food intake does not have to be an endless, ever-elusive
pipe-dream. You can make it happen. Ensure that the pet
is optimal body weight and not gaining or losing as a good
parameter of appropriate feeding schedules and potions sizes.
Type
of food, type of dog, size, age, gender, body weight, fitness
and activity level, build and condition, medical status,
all affect what you feed and should be feeding your pet.
Food is designed with differing audiences and purposes in
mind. Some for puppies, some for older dogs, some for pregnant,
gestating and lactating mother-dogs, aging, dying dogs.
It all varies and depends. Adjustments will have to be made
in each case, for each dog, based on manufacturer's suggestions
as well as veterinarian advise and consult. NOW YOU TOO
