In addition to giving dogs freedom and safety with Derby’s Pet Fence, Steve Baralt (Derby’s “Top Dog”) is a dog trainer (general dog leadership) and a pet nutrition consultant. He has a passion for responsible pet ownership and the core of this starts with what we feed our pets.
The quick summary is this: God knew what he was doing when he created dogs. Just look at their teeth and you will see what he meant for dogs to eat (Meat – not grains). You also learned in elementary school that dogs are carnivores.
The pet food companies are pretty much allowed to lie on the front of the package – but the ingredient list must be factual. Take a look at the ingredients of your current food and see what you think. If you see corn, soy, wheat, chicken by-products, and beet pulp … you can easily do better for your dog.
While a well-researched and administered “raw” diet is the gold standard for dogs, most families cannot justify the cost or the lack of convenience. Freeze-dried or dehydrated foods, high quality grain free canned foods are good options also. But, for many, dry kibble is the most convenient and cost-effective.
