Dogs have been domesticated for about 15,000 years (that's amazing, isn't it?) and up until the 1930s, they were NEVER fed "kibble" or "canned" brands from a store. Dogs were fed real meat and vegetables, and a little homemade bread.

How ignorant are you in Dog Food?
A lady on television in England feeding chocolate to her staffordshire bull terrier. A man walking down the street feeding potato chips to his Westie. It is shocking how ignorant some dog owners are about the foods they feed their pets. The vast majority are responsible and do their best to ensure their canine companions have long and healthy lives, but others do not realize the damage they are doing.

Dog Food :
Now it is possible to read more about unhealthy and toxic foods for dogs with a new guide from www.shepped.com . Divided into healthy human foods, human foods to be used in moderation or rarely, and those to never give dogs, this guide helps provide some background on how dogs and human stomachs evolved together and how best to treat your pet.

There are many foods which are ok to give to dogs. These include pumpkins, lamb, yoghurt, peanut butter and pineapples. The slightly more risky foods include potato chips, apples, celery, bread and cheese. However the list of foods to avoid altogether include chocolate, avocado, nuts, alcohol, grapes, onion, garlic, and sweetcorn. In short, carefully consider the food you want to feed your dog because they might not always know it’s bad for them.

Raw Food :
Real meat is the best food for your dog....nothing else even comes close.....but not just "muscle" meat (pictured above)....your dog also needs organ meat and bone.
