Dog Food for Diabetes Has the Potential to Cure

Raymond — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:58:40 +0000

It’s a heart rendering time if your dog has been diagnosed with diabetes. Quite apart from the added burden of the extra veterinary costs, which you may be able to ill afford, what about the cost to your dog?Is the quality of his life going to deteriorate? How is he going to cope with regular injections of insulin, if he needs them? Most dogs despise drugs and medication and will often fight you when you try to dose them. Are you going to have distress with this? Are you going to get hurt, as well as your dog and your wallet?You might be asking yourself if you could have prevented this from happening, although the vet probably told you that its a common occurrence these days. Yes, it is common these days. And yes, you probably could have prevented it. While doctors and veterinarians have been trained to match particular medication with a disease, homeopaths have been trained to look for causes. So while the medication may help to stabilise your dog’s diabetes, it’s unlikely to cure it. But if you can get to the cause, and address that, you may well be able to cure your dog’s diabetes. Your journey to success has already started with your search for dog food for diabetes. One of the main causes of diabetes in dogs is the food you feed him. Most commercial dog food (included that promoted by most vets) is made up of about 30% low grade meat by-products (from rendering plants which take in slaughter house waste, euthanised animals, road kill, etc), about 65% filler (which can vary from a high stout content, to melamine from China, to a cheap food because of a world glut), and the balance being synthetic nutrients (which are hard if not impossible to digest), toxic preservatives (mostly not considered fit for human consumption), appetite stimulants and artificial colour. Some commercial dog food has better quality of meat, beyond by-products. But it still contains cheap filler and toxic preservatives, despite the claim on the packet. As there has been a world glut of sugar, this is often used as a filler. Do you reckon sugar is a suitable dog food for diabetes?Do you reckon any of the above constitutes suitable dog food for diabetes or any other health condition? Does it sound like suitable dog food, period?Dogs evolved over many millions of year, as an omnivore, but at the carnivore end. This means dogs can survive on a vegetarian diet, but it isn’t normal. They are natural hunters. And while they do scavenge, so can eat carrion, their main diet is fresh, raw meat. Holistic veterinarians have learned that chronic disease normally melts away when dogs are fed on a diet of fresh, raw meat and bones. By providing quality dog food for diabetes, based on the dogs evolution, the potential is there for a complete cure. Not only is this more beneficial for your dog’s health, it is a fantastic deal lighter on your wallet. Quite apart from the high veterinary costs, feeding raw food is cheaper than feeding commercial dog food. And you’re a lot safer too, not running the risk of getting bitten. Dog food for diabetes, or any other condition, needs to be based on what dogs eat in the wild.

Top 10 Dog Food

Selecting the best dog food for our treasured pets can be quite a challenge for the dog owners. Featuring here, are some dog food ratings, that give forth a list of the top 10 dog foods. These 10 best dog food list is sure to help you in keeping your pet pleased and healthy for long.

Well, I will make no bones about it, but I can relate to the dilemma faced by the dog owners, when choosing the best dog food for their furry pets. With the huge variety of pet food available in the market, how do you know if the food that you picked up for your dog, will really keep it pleased and healthy? To top it off, it turns out that our adorable pets are really quite choosy eaters, with some dog foods receiving a cold shoulder treatment. This outright refusal can be quite a burden on your pockets as well. It is therefore vital that dog owners pick the right food from the market. Obviously, the cheap food available off the shelf seems like a excellent thought, but it is more vital that the dog receives food of a very high quality. This best quality dog food should also have all the essential vitamins and minerals, for the longevity and health of the dog. So, dumping some chow into their food bowl does not constitute a excellent meal for the dogs. It is imperative that the dog receives a balanced diet, which is individually determined based on their age, size, and breed. Fascinatingly, most dog foods found in grocery stores tend to be economy dog foods, which end up costing more than buying a premium or super premium dog food. This is because this food tends to be lower in nutrients than premium varieties, with more food being used to get the same nutritional benefit of higher priced premium dog foods.

There are a host of dog food products available commercially, like healthy dog food, organic dog food, canned dog food and natural dog food. The top dog foods may not be suitable to all dogs, as what works for one may not work for another. A fantastic thought is to mix and match the foods to provide a more holistic dog food diet . Here is a look at some commercially available ‘top 10 best dog foods’, ranked in no particular order.
