Q: What is the best dog food? A: The
one that does the most to maintain pet health
Picking the
best dog food you can find can seem like a daunting task, especially for
first-time puppy owners. For many folks, it comes down to finding a
happy medium between pet health and monthly feeding costs. But if you
take the long view, the best dog food is always the one that has the
most chance of maintaining pet health for the life of your pets.
The best dog food choice for pet
health maintenance and enhancement
When
considering the best dog food choice, first answer this question: What
did dogs eat as they evolved? The answer: raw meat and bones, and
occasionally the partially digested vegetable matter in their prey's
stomach. So, when you keep pet health in mind, doesn't it make sense to
feed them what their species ate while developing for hundreds of
generations?
So the very
best dog food is what's commonly called the 'BARF diet,' which consists
of raw meat and bones. There is a growing body of veterinarian evidence
that proves the pet health benefits of this feeding regimen vs.
commercial dry kibble or wet canned products.
This best dog
food choice also has a dental pet health benefit. The bones are
crunchy, and this greatly reduces the tartar and plaque build-up that
traditional bagged or canned foods cause.
BARF is the
best dog food choice, even though it can cost a bit more to feed. Why?
Because the money you save on reduced veterinarian bills (fewer dental
problems, less disease and age-related pet health problems) will far
outweigh the small difference in price.
