Protein requirements of dogs is a
sometimes misunderstood and essential part of dog nutrition. "You are
everything you eat" is really a saying we've all seen and it definitely
has some truth to it. Every responsible pet owner I’ve spoke to has real issue
about eating a top quality diet to their dogs. Incredibly, however, no two puppy owners
appear to agree regarding which dog food is “the best”. A big area of the
disagreement regarding “the best” food to give centers around the sometimes
wrong, mystical and often ambiguous information we all view concerning the
substance we call protein.
There is a huge difference
between survive and succeed! Nature made the rules of biochemistry and
nutrition and we mortals haven't any strength (and no organization, for that
matter) to try and bend these rules. For that reason there are really no
sufficient vegetarian diets for cats. For this reason pets thrive on diets
depending on beef.
Every single day used I see dogs
which are not successful since the principles of nature are not being
implemented. Obese pets, dogs with itchy, flaky skin, dogs with aggressive and
fragile coats, dogs with bad energy levels and resistance to illness -- 95
percent of the time these dogs is going to be consuming diets reduced in animal
source areas and high in feed-based products. Cheap, corn-based diets are some
of the worst.
Give that same dog added protein
and it is excreted through the kidneys AND NEVER saved fat. Realizing this,
what do you think could create a greater "weight reduction plan" to
get a puppy... One with one with a protein or grain because the major ingredient
- beef origin while the primary element?
A lot of protein! Kidney damage!
Well, you know what? And in such cases low protein dog food is the answer. The
very early research that directed a finger at protein as being a cause of
kidney failure in dogs was not possibly completed on dogs! It had been done on
subjects fed unpleasant diets to get a rodent -- diets full of protein.
