As you know, dog food is available in a wide variety of colours,
sizes, flavors, and shapes. The real distinction is obviously
the ingredients contained in the products. You may be surprised
to know that the ingredient list on dog food labels reads very
much like human junk food. Some ingredients are even difficult
to pronounce and are borrowed from medical encyclopedias. Then
of course there are dog foods that are teeming with artificial
ingredients, additives and preservatives that can be harmful to
pets. So just what is "Spot" to do when it comes to healthy
eating?
Many pet owners are discovering organic dog foods to feed their
pets. Just as we humans are conscious of what we put into our
bodies, these pet owners take that same consciousness and use it
to make wiser decisions about not including chemicals in their
dogs' diets. Organic dog treats are the next best thing to all
natural dog food, as they are free of the pesticides and
insecticides that are present in many foods.

Natural dog food is not the same as "organic"dog food and this
can be quite misleading for many. The fact is, "natural" foods
are not held to the same higher standard as "organic" foods. The
USDA must certify a food as organic, in order for the food to be
labelled as such. Natural dog treats are considerably less
costly than their organic counterparts, and as such are not
deemed as reliable. Natural foods do however guarantee the
absence of food colouring and additives such as sodium
metabisulfite or ethoxyquin, which are allergens linked to
allergies, cancer and even brain damage.
Even though organic food servings are pricier and contain about
half the amount of food in volume compared to non-organic food,
dogs are reportedly more satisfied with the lesser amount due to
the purity of the healthier ingredients contained. This makes
the organic and non-organic dog foods very comparable in price.
