~Feeding your dog/puppy~

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. Feeding a high quality food may seem more expensive but your dog truly eats less because they need less. Lower quality dog foods have filler that has little to no nutritional value which requires your dog to eat more which in turn they will poop more.
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 diet.
For example; what if Brand X fruit juice is $1 per glass but is watered down and filled with sugar so you have to to drink 4 glasses to get the same nutrition(and 4x the sugar) as one glass of Brand Y which is $3. Brand Y seems very expensive but after reading the label you find differently. In the end, you may not even drink 4 glasses of Brand X thereby compromising your nutritional needs. You see where I'm going with this.
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 .
