I used to feed him the cooked chicken and some treats. He hardly would eat any kibble after I spoiled him this way. He died of a long seizure. Is that why they say to boil it? To get most of the salt out. My vet did have told me this.

I find many people are adding human food such as canned tuna (180 mg sodium), cheese sticks, or hot dog (600 mg sodium) to dogs kibble in an effort to get them to eat. Not to mention the extra treats for pleasure or training. Seems many do not take an over consumption of salt, sugar or x into consideration for their pet's diet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595439243572007362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-64897682515552938032015-11-02T06:12:36.970-05:002015-11-02T06:12:36.970-05:00http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2012/05/singl...http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2012/05/single-greatest-dog-food-toxin.html?m=1PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-7620471741100046062015-11-01T20:44:36.694-05:002015-11-01T20:44:36.694-05:00I'm curious what bagged food you feed your dog...I'm curious what bagged food you feed your dog.

I was under the impression that, if we chose to, we could use either the pre-made frozen stuff, or if we had the desire to learn about home-cooking dog food, <i>use meat straight from a butcher shop</i>. If you ask them to prepare something a certain way, they will most likely do it. I've recently heard though, that the pre-made frozen diets are missing some nutrients, but I don't remember where I read it.<br /><br />And if not feeding entirely raw, a little supplement, like your frozen chicken wings and necks or beef bone ends, doesn't hurt...unless you're my dog, and the vet has to pull reasons out of her ass in front of me to somehow justify why letting Mal chew on raw bones is inherently dangerous.

And don't forget, if you're dedicated enough to prepare your pets' food from scratch, you've probable bought a book or two as well, such as "Home-Prepared Dog & Cat Diets: the Healthful Alternative" by retired UCD vet med prof Dr. Donald Strobeck. <br /><br />As you may remember from earlier posts on this subject, I'm not against commercial diets.

They tend to use the word enhanced, since the labeling can differ by region/country. Here, it's called "seasoned". <br /><br />Personally, I still trust "real" food over dog food manufacturers, but to each his own. It's not necessarily the quality of the food, but how it is made, and out of what ingredients.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681159007958146626noreply@blogger.com
