People often ask about dog food. There are so many dog food companies how does one pick a good dog food that has premium quality dog food?

Well the truth really is, that the closer to nature the dog food is, the better is really is. Quality dog food is not cheap dog food, but it is worth the money in the longevity of your dog!

Many commercial dog foods contain horrid ingredients that are used as fillers only and based upon grains. What I mean by that is the dog food fills the dogs tummy when hungry but does not contain much if any truly good nutrients for a dog. Most pet foods contain a long list of additives, preservatives and grain products.

With my husband owning a kennel, we have tried many different types of dog foods. From holistic dog food, to the barf diet, and even home cooked meals.

We really are fans of Solid Gold dog food and the BARF DIET. All natural dog food has many benefits for dogs.

The BARF DIET- The BARF DIET™ does not contain grain products. The BARF DIET looks only to the freshest whole raw food sources rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids derived mostly from human edible ingredients. This is an excellent raw food for dogs! Many people are not comfortable feeding a raw diet.

SOLID GOLD- For those who want an all natural dog food we recommends a dog food called Solid Gold. Solid Gold pet foods are a pioneer of natural, holistic animal nutrition. Their dog foods are low allergen products, which work together to enhance health, boost up the immune system, and protect against disease.

Solid Gold dog foods do not contain wheat, corn, or soy, which are often genetically modified and common allergens for dogs.

If your dog suffers from skin disorders or chew incessantly at their feet allot, it may be due to a dog food allergy. If so, Solid Gold Can help!

You can view the Solid Gold website at http://www.solidgoldhealth.com and can view Solid Gold dog food testimonials here.

If you are interested in learning more about the BARF dog diet you can check out their website at http://www.barfworld.com and can view BARF diet dog food testimonial here.

If you are curious to know why we do not recommend most commercial dog foods, you can view this dog food book. The book gives a real inside look at what is really in many dog foods! The truth is, many dog food companies care less about dogs and only how they can make money! The dog food book reveals some shocking details as to what commercial dog foods really contain!

Many of us worry constantly about the welfare of our dogs. We want to ensure that they get all the benefits they can out of the dog foods they eat. So many re-calls in the last 5 years have made it difficult to determine which dog foods are best for our dogs.

While we don’t know when or if the particular brand we use will be subject to recall we must simply hope that we check it out thoroughly before giving it to our pets. Researching the signs and symptoms of problems that may arise in our pets when eating tainted foods is a good start; and you can also check for various recalls periodically without the year.

Keeping a keen eye on your animals can help you detect problems early. Paying attention to various differences in behaviors like: social interactions sleep patterns, or eating habits can help you see trouble before it gets to your door.

Some signs of damage due to affected foods are:

• Loss of Appetite
• Persistent vomiting
• Blood in stool
• Diarrhea
• Frequent urination-discolored urine

Some recent recalled dog foods are:

1. Eukanuba Dog- List Codes {Code Dates: 6312-7073} Plant # 4197
2. Western Family U.S.: Beef Cuts/ 12x 13.2  code 154009067
3. Western Family Canada: Country Stew Cuts

Other brands like: Natural Life, Nutri-Plan, Paws, and Springfield Prize. If you wish to obtain additional information or are looking for more on the list you can access it at: www.menufoods.com/recallproduct_dog.html

As of December there have been additional recalls for the dog food company which makes Diamond, country Value and Professional. Look for dates ranging from 3/1/07-6/1/2007.

Looking for periodic updates on recalls are wise, keeping an eye on your dogs will help you get the help you need early so the damage is limited. Know your dog and their behaviors and stay healthy
