An Obvious Choice for your Dog
Dogs are certainly the most loving and caring of all pets. There’s something we just can’t resist about their big sparkly eyes and sloppy wet noses. Indeed, a study by the Pet Food Manufacturers Association (PFMA) tells us that of the 60% of single people who buy pets for companionship, 39% actually replaced their partner with their pet. This would suggest that they have almost human qualities. Many of us speak to our dogs, give them human characteristics and in some extremes, even dress them up. And if this is the case, why not feed them only the best?
Up until the 1800’s it was the norm to feed your dog on the scraps of your dinner, such as meat, vegetables, grains, etc. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that canned, purpose specific dog food became popular. However, as a nation of dog owners, we seem to be moving back to the ways of the early 19th century. It is becoming more and more important to dog owners to provide a variety of foods with varying nutrients, much like we would a human child.
Brands such as Eukanuba dog food, James Wellbeloved, and Iams dog food strive to provide foods that offer your dog everything that they need to stay healthy and happy. For example, when we look at Eukanuba brand foods, we see that they are formulated to promote general wellbeing in your pet, with different foods to satisfy the needs of various different breeds of dogs, aimed at breeds from the Jack Russell and Cocker Spaniel, all the way up to the Rottweiler and the Labrador Retriever. James Wellbeloved pet foods were specially formulated to satisfy dogs with special dietary needs; part of their philosophy states that they ‘use the finest natural ingredients with no added artificial colours, flavours or preservatives’. Even Iams dog food, a widely publicised brand, is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of all age bands of dogs, from puppies to seniors.
With so many different brands working towards this common goal, and selling their products at affordable prices, it seems an almost obvious choice to provide your dog with the best foods, ensuring a happy, healthy pet.
