Our dogs are more than pets. They are family. And, families take care of each other. One of the most important tasks in being a good caregiver is providing a healthy daily diet. Only the best is good enough for the most loyal, trusted and loving friend you will ever have. Organic dog food gives pets the gift of health for long, happy lives.

Dogs love table-food. Quality, best-cut, organically-grown meats, balanced with the purest, nature-produced, vegetables, rice, barley, apples provide table-worthy, dinner fare for your pet. Strictly regulated, USDA certification assures that organic dog food has earned the packaging logo for doggy dinners that provide 100% complete, balanced, natural protein, carbs, and fiber that are grown chemical-free without artificial engineering.

Treats meet the same standards of excellence so your “good boy” can be aptly rewarded for all the joy he brings to your home.

Organically-grown canine diets read better than some choices in the grocery aisles for people with labeling that reveals ingredients of balanced Omega 3, Omega 6 fatty acids, protein, carbs, fat, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Veterinarians agree that dry formulations are the best primary source of nutrition for canines that, additionally, benefit oral health. Availability is in formulas for Puppy (Dry), Adult (Dry), Canned (Wet) and treats. All supply the best ingredients in a gourmet dinner for easy on the tummy, great for the taste-buds, canine cuisine.

Your puppies dietary beginnings affect future health. The science of canine development is applied to each formula in organic dog food. The special requirements of a puppy are found in the appropriate calibrations of fat, protein, vitamins, and energy that bring your puppy to adulthood in good health. Puppy dry bites taste great and satisfy the chewing instinct that aids teething and promotes dental health.

USDA National Organic Program not only guarantees content within canine diets that bear their logo, but equally important is what is missing. Approved canine diets do not contain any chemicals typically used on farmlands for pest control, livestock are not subjected to inhumane living conditions nor are they fed antibiotics or hormones. Canine formulations stamped with the logo for assurance provide only pure, natural, chemical free, hormone/antibiotic-free, unadulterated premium sustenance for the life of your pet.

Food-safety precautions include USDA, state-of-the-art, mandatory sterilizing methodologies at processing facilities. Regulations in formal documentation are coupled with compliance for 24-hour line shutdowns for mandatory cleaning processes standardized by the USDA. Full compliance must be consistently met to attain the USDA stamp of approval on packaging.

America sat up and took notice of the importance of choices in feeding our pets during the nightmare of poisonings that resulted in tragic pet deaths from imported canine meals. Safety in natural canine nutrition is assured with unparalleled, regulatory quality-control that mandates the highest standards for every element of the process of these products.

Pet owners want to provide a healthy diet for their pets. Some wonder if their really is a difference and is it really to the dogs advantage to eat organic dog food. What does the term really mean anyway?

“Natural” refers to a process that doesn’t include chemical processing or the addition of artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. Organic products are made from animals raised without growth hormones or antibiotics, and plants grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

Canines are natural carnivores. Meat should be the first ingredient. Meat byproducts and animal protein are not synonyms for meat. Byproducts are made up of any unused part of an animal and can include the head, feet, ligaments, lungs, spleen, and leftover fat, as well as meat from diseased, dead, dying, or disabled animals. There’s no way to measure the nutritional value of byproducts and each batch will be different.

Regulations require a label of “meat” to refer to cows, goats, sheep, or pigs, and meat can only be from specified muscles and tissue, not leftover byproducts. A product labeled “chicken dog food” must contain 95% chicken. A label of “chicken dinner” requires 25% chicken, and “dog food with chicken” requires 3% chicken content. The label “chicken flavor” means any trace amount of offal imparting a flavor.

Many non-organic foodstuffs contain mostly grain and other fillers. The grains are cooked to make them digestible but they’re still empty calories that can lead to excess pounds.

Artificial preservatives give a shelf life of 12 months to a bag of food. With natural preservatives, shelf life is a more than adequate 6 months. There have been few studies regarding the long term health effects of artificial preservatives. Propylene glycol was banned in cat cuisine because it causes anemia in cats but it’s still allowed in dog products.

When purchasing dog food check the expiration date, and don’t use any product with a rancid odor. Keep dry kibble in an air-tight container. Serve wet and dry products separately. Mixing dry kibble with liquids or canned preparations allows bacterial growth.

The upfront cost of organic nourishment is higher but these products contain little or no filler. Dogs don’t need to eat as much to satisfy their nutritional and caloric needs. This will be evident when you’re scooping the yard. Much less of the food comes out as waste. Pets eating a natural and organic diet will be healthy and energetic.

Review plans to upgrade your dog’s diet with a veterinarian, especially if a pet has allergies or is on medication. To prevent digestive upset, introduce the new diet in stages. The first offering should be 1/4 new and 3/4 old diet. Each meal increase the proportion of the new diet. There are many varieties of organic products to choose from. To be healthy, the new diet has to appeal to your dog’s taste.

Organic dog food can be purchased in meat based, vegetarian, and raw feed diets. It can be purchased through many veterinarians, and at many pet stores, both retail and online. The benefits are less digestive problems, improved immune system, and natural weight control. Dogs eating an organic diet are much less likely to develop allergies and skin problems.
