~Feeding your dog/puppy~

No matter what type of dog you decide on their diet is crucial to a long, healthy, and high quality life.  Many diseases and 'conditions' can be prevented by feeding a HIGH quality dog food along with proper exercise, training, and veterinarian  care. I suggest checking your current food on www.dogfoodanalysis.com. 

You'll be VERY surprised how the so called 'top' brands like ScienceDiet and Iams rate.  These brands are not bad, you just don't get your money's worth.  Some brands do not have required daily nutrition.  "Pound for pound, the well-known brands sold in supermarkets and major pet food chains are obviously a lot cheaper. However, many pet-nutrition experts say that the initial cost difference doesn't tell the whole story. According to veterinarians at ThePetCenter.com, due to the higher-quality ingredients in premium food, your dog will actually eat less compared to inexpensive dog food: "Immediately you will notice that when feeding a high quality, meat-based food, the dog will need to consume fewer cups of it per day than a cheap diet." An added benefit is that since more of the food is absorbed as nutrients, your dog will pass less solid waste." - per http://www.consumersearch.com/dog-food/dog-food-brands

If less poop is not enough to convince you, feeding a high quality dog food will also pay off in medical bills, now and as they age.  Many health conditions, like allergies and obesity, have been closely associated with a poor diet or the wrong diet for your pet.  Each dog has unique tastes, therefore some dog food may be more optimal over another. Make sure you find a food your dog will eat, but still be sure to stay with a top rated healthy dog food.

Our dogs range from 30 and 65 pounds in weight.  Our dogs eat an average of 20 lbs per month.  Based on feeding Blue Buffalo dog food my cost per dog is less than $40 per month inlcuding an occasional treat of Blue Buffalo canned food. 

High quality dog food will not be dirt cheap, but more expensive does not necessarily mean higher quality either so for the best dog food check www.dogfoodanalysis.com .
