Your Dog's Health is Your Responsibility

The best thing you can do for your dog is take his/her nutritional health into your own hands. I mean, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT in your hands. That way you can provide and control the nourishment s/he needs for a smooth, shiny coat, dental health, bone growth, muscle tone, energy requirements and proper digestive function.

If there is one downfall about dogs, it is that their loyalty, unconditional love, and trust in you make them an easy target for inferior care. I know we are all guilty of not treating our companions very well. Of course, they aren’t ones to complain, and we find ourselves, too often, turning a blind eye towards his/her trusts.

You do consider your dog a member of your family, right? Well, would you feed your family from an aluminum can every meal, every day? Why would you betray your dogs trust in you by feeding him dog food that is nutritionally substandard?

You don’t want to let yourself slouch on this. Your dog trusts you to feed him healthy, nutritional food and likely won’t complain if you don’t. Of course, this may lead to a slow, painful and tragic death and the guilt your will feel will be overwhelming.

I’ve made that mistake. I watched my dog fade away to nothing before my eyes. That was one of the few time in my life where I cried till I had no more tears to produce. The day my mother and I took Rocky to the vet and as my mother put it at the time, “We sent him off to live on a farm.”

Let’s move on to greener and happier times. The thing about controlling your dog’s nutrition and feed him/her the best diet is it’s easy! Sure, it may seem intimidating at first, but it really does not take a whole lot of time, effort, nor brainpower to get it right.

Cooking at home for your dog allows for flexibility and purity, unlike the loose regulations on dog food labeling, which leave most people in the dark about what they are feeding their dogs. It allows us to take full control of our dog’s nutrition and health needs. The ingredients will be of the highest quality and will add up to a balanced, poison-free diet that we control. To accommodate our dog’s ever-changing demands, we also maintain and modify, as necessary, the caloric intake.

Of course, there is one HUGE ingredient we can add that ANY commercial dog food will lack. That special ingredient is “love”.

Don’t we owe it to ourselves, and our best friends, to give them the best chance a long, healthy life?

That’s why this ebook, by Andrew Lewis, is highly recommended by me. It provides healthy, easy to prepare recipes for your scrutiny. It offers tips on all aspects of canine health, including veterinary visits, vaccines, grooming, exercise, and first aid. All that information for your dog’s health is at your fingertips.

Remember, your dog’s health is in your hands. I want to wish you and your dog many healthy returns.
