If
you take the time to study a little bit about dog nutrition and
how
to make dog food you will soon
discover that not all dog food is the same.
The best way to test this theory is to take a quick look at your local
supermarkets mix of dog foods. Read the labels on the back and check
out all the different ingredients that each food contains.
A good example of this would be 'chicken'. A dog food tin may say that
it contains chicken but there is a massive difference between what is
real chicken and chicken byproducts.
Chicken is chicken and
byproducts can be anything from legs and beaks to other parts of the
bird that you may never have even heard of.
This is the benefit of a home made dog food recipe as you are in charge
of adding what you want your dog to eat and leaving out any ingredients
that you consider unsavory.
Many dog foods that have been mass produced may also contain lots of
sweeteners, preservatives and other additives that may make your dog
behave differently.
Remember sweeteners are not good for your kids as it can make them less
able to concentrate and may make them hyperactive - its the same for
your dog, which isn't good if you want him to concentrate on a strict
dog training program.
However,
as long as you don't do it too often there is no reason why you cant
give your pooch a
dog
biscuit now and again to reward
good behavior.
