You are Feeding Your Pet the Right Amount?

It 's very difficult for any pet owner to know the exact amount of food to feed pets daily. Dog owners may change their diet based on the type of dog on your property and your personal lifestyle and eat when dogs are fed every morning, some during the day and some nights, but the cats may be slightly different . For example, some cats may have food on their plates all the time for them to eat what they want, but these are good or bad for our pets? Nobody wants their animals too thin or obese, and therefore must be very careful what you feed your pet.

Dogs are very difficult to determine how much to eat that all dogs are different, there is a range of different ages, races and levels of activities that have dogs. To find the right part for your dog, you must know the exact weight of your dog should be effective in the size and breed him next to look at the back of the packaging of food and to indicate the correct her animals company. Although the problem is that if the dog is under weight or over weight, then you need to change the portion of your choice. Obesity in animals is becoming more regular and could lead to health problems. If your dog or puppy does not have the correct power, can cause other problems such as not eating, diarrhea, eat dirt or grass, or dry skin.

Cats tend to have little appetite and that dogs are not usually harass the owners of two of their food, but still has the correct size is important. There are two types of cat food, dry food, wet food such as biscuits and canned meat. There is no real answer to whether the food moist or dry food is better, but is usually normal until the cat prefers, in fact, dry food, however, tend to be more popular than wet. If your cat eats wet food and want to change the best way to do this is a period of seven days and start to mix with food are, but gradually more and more feed dry food. Again, portion sizes for cats that are normally found in the back of the pack, so depending on the size of your cat every game is different.

7 Secrets to Choose a Safe & Healthy Food for Pets (Part Two)

Secret # 4 ...
I had other suggestions to the list of ingredients ... Look for chemical preservatives. A large well-kept secret in food for animals is their common use of chemical preservatives. BHA / BHT are chemical preservatives in foods for pets People and Science has used for tumors and cancer. Another common preservative is ethoxyquin known cancer risk. Ethoxyquin is only allowed in food in some spices in view of the action very low. However, it is much higher in animal feed.

If you scan the list of ingredients, you will be directed to BHA / BHT and ethoxyquin listed anywhere. Often BHA / BHT is used to keep the fat in foods is generally higher in the list. And look for each of these chemicals by the end of the list of ingredients. Personally, I would not touch a pet food containing such chemical preservatives. You want a pet food is naturally preserved - common natural preservatives are "natural mixed tocopherols" and "vitamin E".


Secret # 5 ...
The best food for your pet care is a well-made food with human grade ingredients. It should be fairly easy ... How are you? You already know that the pet food manufacturers are allowed a statement on the quality of ingredients or simply the only way to know, call the class or quality of food for your pet and ask the manufacturer is.

Well, let's say you call the ABC feed and the question is "made from your premium cat and dog food with human quality ingredients?" Could it be that you get the answer Yes, we use human quality ingredients - if it is really only a few ingredients are human grade. The trick is to ask ... ask them if they are APHIS European certified.

Animal feed producers are APHIS European certification ensures that all ingredients in pet food is a measure of man. APHIS - Animal Plant Health Inspection Services - a division of USDA. APHIS European certification, a manufacturer of pet foods for its food / ship comes to Europe. For the importation of feed from the United States, European countries require that all ingredients, human contact, and therefore require such certification. Most manufacturers of pet food that APHIS European certification not ship their products in Europe - are just that, as a means for their customers to ensure the superior quality of its ingredients.

Again, I do not see the label - is not allowed. You need the manufacturer and ask. Often, representatives of the pet food companies do not even know what you do when you apply for certification APHIS - when talking about the case, one would think that they are certified APHIS European Union. APHIS European certification is a bonus for owners of domestic animals - is neither necessary nor even suggested that every manufacturer of pet food to go through extra steps to receive them. It 'an effort by the pet food to their customers, they really tell the quality of their products. Personally, I would not buy a pet food that does not.

Also, if you can reach the manufacturer of pet foods, or will return your call within a short period of time, lose their number! Any company that has not been a priority to respond to customer issues - do not deserve your trust!


Secret # 6 ...
Minerals are necessary ingredients in food and nutrition for our pets. Copper, iron and zinc minerals are commonly found in animal feed. As they are - copper, iron and zinc, are basically rocks used to be very difficult for a person or a dog. Science has several options for minerals in the body (human or animal) to introduce to improve the absorption and thus developed the world much more. This scientific development is called chelation or proteinating and has been for years. Or by chelating minerals proteinating process are approximately 60% more than the mineral alone absorbed.

This mystery is the discovery of minerals in the diet to see whether or chelating proteinated. Note minerals on the road to pet food label list of ingredients. These minerals are looking for "Reading copper or copper proteinate chelate. If you look for the mineral, your pet is a bit 'like Charlie Brown to say about Halloween:" J have received a "Rock. If the dog have the best chelated minerals proteinated will or part of the best food!


Secret # 7 ...
The secret is called "good bacteria". Although bacteria "friends" sounds a little 'fear, the reason is your pet's intestinal system. Most of your pets immune system found in the intestine. Keeping the immune system, helps maintain good health, animal health itself. This friendly bacteria is similar to what is found in yogurt, but in a pet food is made so as not to destroy the cooking process. Looking at the fine print on the labels of pet foods, this time you are looking for long-term science such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium thermophilum. If you do not see these words or some very similar to that of pet food are not involved in the care of your pets immune system. Yet if you want your pet are the best, you want "good bacteria" in their diet.

There are seven secrets to help you really, absolutely healthy and find the best food for your furry friend. Armed with these secrets - you now have the knowledge to find your pet the best food possible! A pet food that may prolong life and prevent premature aging and disease. If you do not want the trouble of doing homework question, I invite you to my monthly Petsumer Report (TM) Newsletter. With Petsumer Report (TM) did all the tasks for you - check every month and more than 40 different animal feed, care, toys and other pet products. And 'the only publication of its "Art gives farmers the information they need to know, you can buy their product based on PET.

I want to communicate only a couple of things ...

It 'best to feed a dog or an adult cat two meals a day. The food they consume, with two meals is better than having one meal a day used. If you currently have your pet a meal a day, divided by the same amount in both food and feed in the AM and PM.

You should know that all the boxes of moist feed or somewhere between 70% and 85% humidity. This means that 70% to 85% or the bag is useless diet - water. Certainly, our pets need water to drink especially cats tend not enough water. But since all canned or moist mostly water, do not provide enough food to feed strictly canned food or moist. Use the wet product to complete your pet or a tin can - not as a unique food.

The best are of course the pet food (canned Secret # 4) - but there is a problem with the natural food for animals ... Cool. Note that you took the expiry date of your pet food label - usually with natural dry food for pets (not so much a problem with the soft food because of the canning factory - they need very little preservatives) The time expiration of one year to 18 months. Assume that the pet food companies are considering a buy in July 2007, a "Best if used by" date of 1 January 2008. This will tell you that this particular bag of pet food is already six months old. Although there was still "good" of a food cooler - a bag, which is only 2 or 3 months - is better. Sure, the food found pet food to lose its power over time. Always try to find a bag fresh.

If you intend to change your pets food, always consult your veterinarian. You should always consult your veterinarian of any changes to your pet. Do not take risks. And when you change the pet food, make the change very slowly. I always recommend ¼ of food to pet owners to ¾ old food for 4-7 days, 4-7 days for another ½ ½, and so on. Switching quickly foods that cause intestinal disease! His short term, but do not want a bowel disease?

One last thing, as you know dogs and cats have a much better sense of smell than humans. Their food dish, a variety of smells - both good and evil. Several times an animal will not eat, simply because he or she feels a precedent in his bowl. Plastic bowls of food and water to keep the smell worse. How it works surprisingly stainless steel bowls. The best dish of food and water to make pottery. Continue less odors.

"Animals are my friends so beautiful - that without question, not a criticism." George Eliot.

I totally agree!

7 Secrets to Choose a Safe & Healthy Food for Pets 

(Part One)

Do you have canned food or dry? Which brand? There are so many different brands, all shapes and sizes of pet food and pet owners are confusing to choose with very little information to make decisions based on (with the exception of advertising) - it is! Now, loop, loop, depending on what you know the pet food industry, this could be a bumpy ride! There are seven secrets - guarded the secrets of training - food for pets. Sit down, brace yourself and read on.

Beneful is called "Premium Dog Food for a Happy, Healthy Dog sold for about $ 18.00 for a 31 kg bag of Science Diet" promises "a balanced diet with precision through continuous research and higher quality food Note from your Vets warranty and sells for about $ 21.00 for only 20 € bag. Then there are a lot of pet food, which any such statement - "to make dog food of the highest quality luxury" - for $ 30.00 or more to sell for £ 20 a bag. And the same goes for cat owners ... You Whiskas, who says: "Everything is done on the cats happy!" Or you one of those premium cat food, the same expectations of a happy, healthy cat cost, but make three times more expensive?

Now, with the withdrawal of pet food, pet owners of current issues such as "This food has been recalled?" Or "Food is the next to remember ?'...' is safe for my pet? "Wow is not easy! And scary! A pet owner do? How to learn a secret! Equipped with the knowledge of some secret in the pet food company, is almost as confusing.

Secret # 1 ...
All pets, the use of words such as selection and award, even if only some of them or of the highest quality ingredients in their food. The secret is that, under the rules of pet food, pet food can not all claims or references to the label or advertisement for the quality of ingredients or simply. You see, the word "premium" if it means that the pet food is closely linked to the premium food ingredients. With the pet food, the prize is not (can not) describe the food can not (he) describe the quality of food. This is just a marketing term. rules to the feed industry and regulations, "There is no evidence of ingredients or quality (Regulation PF5 D 3). Words are like premiums Sun, or choice, or simply the marketing of quality or conditions of sale. They should not be considered as terms to describe the quality of the food must be interpreted.

Well, why not host a labeling of foods for pets to tell a potential customer of the quality of their ingredients? If the owner has no right to know what to buy? This brings me to another secret ...


Secret # 2 ...
If I compare the "people" food Pet food for one second, we all know, there are different kinds of people food. It 's the Chateau Blanc (here, I am guilty, I love the little guy!) And there is Outback Steak House (another favorite). Both restaurants serve the meat and potatoes. A White Castle for less than $ 3.00 you get a couple of hamburgers and an order of chips. During his stay in the Outback, you can get a steak and baked potatoes for about $ 16.00. Both are meat and potatoes - but you already know that there are huge differences between a nutritional fast food burgers and a steak ... right?

The problem in pet food - is that most pet owners do not think in those terms when it comes to food. You're not in the sense of wanting to keep certain types of fast food for pets, and sit down restaurant, there are types of pet food nutrition. In fact, some years ago a young man tried, although this experience with his own diet - no eating fast food, but for 30 days. In a few months of eating fast food three meals a day, has become much weight, blood pressure and cholesterol sky-shot. Now imagine that your pet eats food as his "whole life.

OK, so back to our two meals ... chemical analysis was compared with your meal at White Castle to a chemical test of your meal at the Outback - the two were analyzed with a proportion of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Whether you are a steak at Outback consider better quality protein than the burger - would still be analyzed like proteins. The analysis does not measure the quality of the protein.

Here's the secret ... All pets with a guaranteed analysis showing the percentage of protein, fat, fiber and moisture in contact with food. The real secret lies in the quality of the units of proteins, fats, and so on.

In a chemical analysis of pet foods - chicken feet would be to analyze proteins, although seen as very little food. And how well a cow that euthanasia (asleep) because of an illness that has the bad taste to analyze - such as proteins, although this can be dangerous for human consumption. The two chicken legs of these things - and a cow to sleep - are permitted ingredients and is often used in pet foods. You see the secret of food for pets are the producers have an open door, where they get their ingredients. The only rule difficult to follow, they must be food for adult dogs with 18% protein and an adult were analyzed for cat food to analyze with 26% protein. acquire the sources of these percentages are particularly large as a "man of quality" meat from chicken legs euthanasia for animals, the proteins of cereals, including proteins and chemicals have become in many variations among people.

Labels feed did not say - are not allowed to speak - the sources they use to get the necessary 18% and 26% protein. And to make matters worse ... optical quality of feed manufacturers - companies that use 100% human quality ingredients - are not allowed to tell the customer or potential customers that their product quality, human ingredients.

So how do you know if the animals used for food or crow's feet cows euthanasia or contains ingredients man of quality?


Secret # 3 ...
If the premium and the words chosen basically means nothing in terms of quality of feed, pet food and if some chicken feet and euthanized for animal food - How can a farmer know what they obtained in the diet of their animals?

The great secret lies in the definition of ingredients. Unlike "people" food, you can watch closely to determine the quality of food, pet food is very different. respond to all people "food, including the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) guidelines. The same is not true for pet foods. legged chickens and cows are sacrificed in food for people, for obvious reasons, is permitted - no nutritional value, or they can be dangerous to eat. This is not true for pet foods. The only way, if the chicken feet or euthanized cows I am aware of in your pet food ingredients which can be used in

The food ingredient company based mixed meat and bones "is not discarded in fact a combination of several acquisitions other than the food industry. The components of meat and bone meal "are sacrificed by the heads of the cow, the stomach and intestine, the (shocking but true) animals such as cows, horses and dogs and cats by veterinarians businesses, animal shelters, and farms. And with these animals feed also contains euthanasia drugs pentabarbitol, with which the animal was put to sleep. " meat and bone meal 'can also leave a restaurant, fat and sick (cutting, including cancer), edible tissue from animals slaughtered. In other words, this ingredient is widely used, has left a very mixed and potentially less dangerous to the off-food industry.

The meat ingredient in animal feed "product" or "meat by-product meal" is almost the same as "meat and bone meal. This is a poor quality food ingredients Pet literally nobody knows what.

Another ingredient similar to the above is "Animal Digest".

What chicken feet I said before - This article is in the ingredients "chicken byproducts" or "poultry product" or "chicken byproducts meal" or "chicken byproduct meal." Any leftover chicken or poultry division - including but not limited to chicken legs, skin, including some pens, chicken or poultry and envelopes found in these ingredients. Is not worried about the health issue of birds - sick, healthy, dead, dying ... everything is contained in these ingredients.

So here's what you do ... before buying food for pets, turn the bag and carefully examine the list of ingredients. The ingredients are listed above during the first five or ten ingredients. If any of these ingredients - my suggestion is not to buy food. Remember - crow's feet and sacrificed animals to be done to analyze how proteins. This is all that is necessary in pet food - the correct analysis.

Another little trick to use some pet food manufacturers in this category is increasing with grains and chemical additives for products of wheat for protein content. Just because of the recall of pet foods, which began in March 2007 - chemical protein. Two different chemical additives - have no nutritional value for animals, but were analyzed as a protein - a product of wheat (wheat gluten, corn gluten, gluten or rice) has only to provide a cheap protein. Thousands of animals have died and countless others have been hurt because no one would have been counted because of the problem of combining these two chemicals kidney and urinary tract obstruction. Again, the secret of the product with a certain amount of protein is analyzed - no one is required to provide a system of quality management of meat proteins.

While the list of ingredients, including research - you should also consider the number of grains (corn, wheat, rice) and / or the number of grains (corn gluten meal, whole wheat, ground corn, wheat, ground wheat, wheat gluten, rice, brown rice, broken rice, soybean, etc.) are the ingredients in the first five or so called. If you have registered more than a grain in the first five ingredients - say that these pet food is to acquire some of its proteins in cereals.

Why are proteins derived from cereals to know is important to you? Several reasons - the departure of the first scientific evidence that dogs and cats develop an appropriate and necessary for meat protein. When obtaining a protein sources of feed grain, the animal is not always meat, needs to thrive. Secondly, if the grains with gluten, corn gluten, wheat gluten, rice or run the risk of chemicals as melamime be added to use only the analysis of proteins is increased. Incidentally, melamime is one of the chemicals in the cause of the withdrawal in March 2007, pet food. And there's another problem with grains - aflatoxins. Aflatoxin is a deadly tool that young corn, wheat and soybeans, and is responsible for many other pet food recalls, you've probably never heard of. In December 2005, Diamond Pet Food contained moldy grains, about 100 animals are killed before the product was recalled - all because of aflatoxins.

It 's my recommendation to all pet foods as corn, wheat, soybean and contains a change to avoid. The risk is simply too high.

Urinary tract infections are also a chaotic situation. In addition to accidents, "symptoms of a urinary tract infection can, lethargy, fever, abdominal tender, or when urinating. Even after the UTI is treated, you may need to get a new cat because the cat is pain associated with the old litter.

Deciding to be a Dog Owner?



There's a reason they are popular pets like dogs, look at you with adorable puppy eyes, and give unconditional love and loyalty. There are many people who are immune to the charms of dogs. Having a dog as a pet is a big responsibility, before deciding to adopt a dog must weigh a number of things.

Owning a dog is a long-term commitment, a dog can live to 15 years if properly supported. Raising a dog can be costly and time, the rewards are immeasurable, of course, but you should never assume the responsibility of owning a dog lightly.

Some points to consider before making the commitment to raise a dog:

#1. Why do you want first? Is this your business? Do you want your children to have a playmate? Or do you want a dog for something as utilitarian as security?

#2. You have time for your dog? A dog needs to be washed, fed, clean later on foot, and also trained. Otherwise, dogs require considerable quantities of human affection. Yes, the reality is that a dog can be very needy.

#3. Do you have enough money to cure your dog? Food, vaccinations, visits to vocational education and training, training, preparation, licensing. Owning a dog is not cheap can save money in the long term?

#4. Can you cope with unexpected problems? Dogs are living, breathing creatures, are prone to all kinds of physical illnesses that may require you to remove what you are doing and spend lots of money at a time.

#5. Have a good home for your dog? Dogs need exercise, you can not have a dog in a small apartment, or if you have an apartment, you must live in the district where it is safe to walk your dog regularly.

#6. Do you know someone who can help with your dog? And 'possible for a person who is always there all the time for a dog. You need a neighbor or relative who lives relatively close, committed to the care of your dog, if you need to be away.

#7. Are you okay in the long term? The maximum duration of a dog ranges nine to fifteen years depending on the breed. You can make a commitment to long-term care? Also remember that your dog has special needs as he or she grows.

The sad reality is that people go to leave their dogs in animal shelters, because they can not deal with them for one reason or another. Keep in mind that even if having a dog is fun and rewarding, but it will take time and money, and you should make sure before committing.

Stop Barking Dog - Using Device on the Market

***Audible

When your pet starts to bark excessively, has a microphone unit causing the release of treble.
