  • Dog nutrition comes from a balanced dog diet

    Dog nutrition is very important to a new puppy when he has left his mother who gave him all the vital vitamins and nutrients he needed to keep him strong and healthy.

    Your puppy has now placed his trust in you to make the correct choices regarding his welfare and that includes feeding him quality dog food.

    Your puppy needs good dog nutrition for his bones and muscles. At this stage in his life his body including his bones and muscles is growing rapidly, heading towards the time he is an adult.

    Packets and tinned dog foods list essential ingredients; however it can be a minefield to work out which is better. The first ingredient is the main ingredient with others following. One tip is to check for the level of salt or sugar; it should be very low.

    At Hills Pets we have quality dog food offering the essential dog nutrition both for a puppy and an adult dog that they need at different stages in life.

    We advise on a dog diet according to the size of dog and their weight; the portions are the sizes your pet should be fed on his regular pet diet.

    Pet food is balanced for a dog and it makes life easier without the worries that he may not be receiving good quality food to enable his health is in good order.

    Dry food can be eaten at one meal and tinned food at another. However do not use a mixer unless mixing with wet food.

    A variety of food is good for a dog and can be cost effective. Dog meat can be added to dry food with portion size still controlled.

    Caution: Watch out for feeding your puppy too many treats as this can result in your feeding programme becoming imbalanced.

  • What Can Hypoallergenic Dog Food Really Do?

    Allergies abound in today’s health arena, for dogs as well as humans. There are a various causes for this, but in my opinion, there is only one maintaining cause, ie the reason it keeps going.

    As a rule, allergies are showing that the sufferer has a very weak immune system. When you are considering feeding your dog a hypoallergenic dog food, you know that his immune system is at rock bottom.

    I’m not going to address the possible causes here, but I am going to look at bringing your dog’s immune system up, so that he is no longer so sensitive.

    Food is consumed every day. So food has the biggest impact on your dog’s health. Whatever the label may say, if you’re feeding your dog a commercial hypoallergenic dog food, then you’re contributing to his discomfort and ill health.

    All commercial pet foods are basically the same:

    over cooked, destroying vital nutrients use of very low quality food, such as dead animals and high fat use of any cheap filler to bulk it out use of highly toxic preservatives – how else do you keep ‘meat’ products indefinitely, at room temperature

    Each one of these aspects of commercial dog food will undermine your dog’s immune system. Bringing them all together ensures he can’t fight off any health issue that comes his way.

    The best way to help bring up your dog’s immune system is to feed him as his ancestors fed – with raw meat and bones.

    I’m not saying that by feeding your dog as nature intended he will necessarily completely recover from his allergies. But he’ll do a whole lot better than he will by feeding him a commercial hypoallergenic dog food.

    There is no true holistic vet or animal therapist who doesn’t adhere to this policy.

    Once you have his diet addressed and he’s been on it for enough time to see what it alone can cure, then it’s time to consider treatment.

    Being a natural therapist myself (a homeopath), of course I’m biased! But I get a lot of animals come to me who vets haven’t been able to help. Once I get the dog on the natural diet, then the homoeopathic remedy of choice finishes the problem off. Without the diet, the remedy can only palliate.

    What I’m really saying is that there is no such thing as hypoallergenic dog food. There is only good, healthy dog food and unhealthy dog food. You will never address a problem if you don’t look at the cause (which homeopathy does so well) and you don’t contribute to it.

    Suppose you have a riot in the city (allergies). You can send in the police and the riot will die down (allergies seem to clear up). But underneath the unrest continues (the cause of the allergies hasn’t been cured), and the real reasons are left untouched, only to fester into a much worse state (now hypoallergenic). Homeopathy is akin to finding the cause of the riots and disturbances and dealing with those in a peaceful and constructive way. That is the true nature of cure. (See afternote.)

    So don’t be taken in by the pretty words and smiling actors on a packet of commercial hypoallergenic dog food. It will do nothing to bring your dog’s immune system back up, which is the only way to help cure his sensitivities.

    I consider there is only one type of healthy dog food, only one type which help restore even the sickest dog’s immune system. And that’s the one based on the natural diet of wild dogs.
