Natural holistic dog food is advertised as being made with fresh, wholesome natural ingredients to provide complete nutrition for your beloved canine. People that purchase holistic dog food believe that they are buying premium health food for their dog. Protein sources come from chicken meal, fish meal and a medley of carrots, apples, spinach, egg, celery, ground brown rice, and alfalfa meal. This type of food is full of potent antioxidants like grape seed extract and is dense with essential vitamins, minerals, fats and fatty acids to optimize your dog’s health and prolong their life span. Natural food avoids substances that are difficult for your dog’s digestion like wheat, corn, dairy and artificial food coloring and flavors. The makers of these foods typically boast that their food has no chemicals, no fillers and no artificial ingredients.
The protein sources used come from select sources like high quality chicken meal. Chicken is derived from human-grade processing plants with any moisture and water removed for a more concentrated protein. Egg is also used as a protein source. Fish meal is also a quality protein source that is high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, which are beneficial to your dog’s coat and cardiovascular health.
Holistic food has many ingredients that are valuable to your dog’s digestive tract. The protein sources are easy to digest and Probiotics and beet pulp both promote a healthy digestive tract. Lactobaciullus Acidophilus is also present and lines your dog’s intestines with a delicate balance of friendly bacteria. Your dog, just like a human, will burn carbohydrates for energy and includes brown rice, which is perhaps the easiest carbohydrate for a dog to digest.
The manufacturers of holistic dog food know that healthy pet food is critical to the well-being and happiness of your dog. It’s not uncommon for poor dog food, loaded with additives or preservatives, to create health issues for your dog, sometimes even immediately. You could be paying a ridiculous amount of money for a medication to treat your dog’s itching when the underlying problem could be a skin irritation associated with the unnatural ingredients of many commercial dog food brands. It’s quite possible your dog may no longer need that expensive medication if their symptoms gradually disappear upon switching.
