Just because a brand of dog food is well-known does that make it the best dog food to feed your pet? After studying the matter I've come to the conclusion that people are aware of a brand not because it's particularly healthy but because it's a brand that can afford some heavy advertising.

Sadly the best dog food for your dog is probably not even being sold in your Vets office. Most Vets sell Science Diet and it does not even come close to making my top ten best dog food list.

Because my dog started to have Seizures, I started to research to find out how to pick the best dog food available to keep him healthy. I have learned more about how to decipher a dog food label and understand what all the ingredients are, than most people know about their own human food.

The more research I did, the deeper I entered the ugly world of commercial dog foods.

I quickly realized if I was going to be able to find the best dog food for my dogs, I was going to need to educate myself about the Pet food industry.

I have documented my findings in many articles about the pet food industry, which is virtually self-regulated, and about how the industry uses deceptive labeling language to deceive pet owners about true contents of pet food.

The only thing that even comes close to helping us figure out the best dog food, is the requirement that the Industry must list the most prominent ingredient by weight first on the label. If corn is the initial ingredient listed it is the largest component of the product regardless of what it is called.

The best thing to do is skip over the name on the bag and go straight to the ingredient list. After you make it through the first couple of ingredients that you think you understand what they are, that is where the fun begins.

Don't be fooled by ingredients like dried egg products, they sound healthy but that are not. You would find what's in dried egg product very disatsetful to eat so why foist it on your dog. When something contains chicken by-products is is not of the standard you would serve on your dinner table.

When you look at the listed ingredients of this item, you can figure out some of them, however it will be more difficult to identify the preservatives and vitamins as the names are less familiar.

After compiling my research I was able to construct a guide to picking the best quality dog food.

I thought I would have a very tough time winnowing down 150 brands down to the top 10 best dog foods available but I could find only 10 brands that deserved to be on that list. When you compare the labels on these 10 to the brands your Vet are selling, you are going to start to take healthy feeding decisions out of the hands of your Vet and do it yourself.

With the unfortunate increase in pet food recalls, millions of dog owners and breeders are very concerned and wondering what can they feed their dogs that is positively safe and will not cause permanent harm to their pet's health.

Nearly all the information we have about pet nutrition has been provided by the best-known laboratories of the world since the early 19th century. This outdated information is not adequate for today's modern dog due to the fact that its inner characteristics have changed in many respects. This could be one factor causing the deaths and health problems of thousands of dogs nationwide.

At first, it was learned that only one manufacturer was responsible for using wheat gluten in their dog food. People started reading the labels of the food in hopes to find a safer product to give to their pets.

Sadly, this was proven to be a waste of time, since other manufacturers reportedly used a rice concentrate in their dog food supply, but irresponsibly did not put the ingredient on the food label of the package.

No doubt these pet food manufacturers are really human food corporations concerned only with the bottom line and most likely, use their pet food as a dumping ground for waste from their industrial processes. They count on people to believe their marketing strategy and short term observations and ignore conscientious research.

This, of course, has created massive frustration and fear among dog lovers nationwide.

What food is actually safe?

It has been agreed by many experts in the pet industry that home made dog food recipes are the safest and easiest solutions to this terrible dilemma. If you are a loving and caring dog owner, the life expectancy of your pet depends upon your decision. Making your own dog food will keep other animal parts, diseased meat, artificial ingredients and chemically sprayed food away from your pet's kidneys.

The latest research shows that the organic method of feeding your dog should be your first choice. It is the best way to ensure that your pet will have a balance diet. . As long as the food intake is balanced with his activity level, he won't get fat. An example of a nutritional meal is scrambled eggs, boiled rice with small pieces of chicken or lamb. A great appetizer and treat is a cup of yogurt with live cultures.

It is crucial that your home made dog food have a good amount of protein, amino acids and vitamin D. Protein such as beef, chicken, turkey or fish is the building blocks for your dog's muscles and vitamin D produces strong healthy teeth and bones. Other important essentials for your dog are calcium, carbohydrates and fatty acids.

The components for a good home made meal should include four ingredients. The first two ingredients should be meat sources and last two must include a good grain such as whole grain rice or barley and a vegetable like carrots. Do not include fillers such as corn or cornmeal which may cause allergies

The moral of this story is to find a good dog food recipe, feed it correctly and try to stay away from commercial dog food that is loaded with cancer-causing preservatives and red dyes. Make sure the home made food is of high quality and nutritional value and you will avoid the severe problems and sometimes immature deaths caused by the pet food recall brands.
