Organic Puppy Food

Apr 3

Organic puppy food is a healthier and more natural alternative to store brand dog food. Many dog owners are turning to organic puppy food to ensure the health of their puppy. Organic puppy food is also a good alternative to homemade puppy food. Many owners that want to feed their puppy healthy food do not have the time to prepare their own healthy puppy food from scratch. These people will turn to organic puppy food.

Why Switch to Organic Puppy Food?

Did you know that the majority of commercial dog foods are manufactured with additives, fillers, and meat by-products? Most of the ingredients found in commercial dog food are not even fit for humans. Foods that are grown commercially are treated with pesticides and fertilizers. They are generally processed and packaged with more synthetic ingredients. The residue from these chemicals and toxins can remain in the food that is consumed by your puppy. Commercial brand puppy foods and dog foods contain non-organic ingredients.

Many commercial brand dog foods also contain meat by-products. Don’t be fooled that the word meat in meat by-products means they are getting a healthy diet. Meat by-products are actually highly indigestible ingredients, such as: bones, intestines, lungs, etc. Many times, these are literally the remains of animal carcasses that have been slaughtered for humans.

Benefits of Organic Puppy Food

There are a variety of reasons why organic puppy food is a better option for your pet. The most important reason is your puppy’s health. This type of food is easier on your puppy’s stomach. Why? Not forcing your puppy to eat food filled with additives and fillers allows your puppy to digest the natural food and reduces the risk for stomach irritation.

The nutrient levels in organic puppy food will help your puppy feel full faster. This will help to keep your dog at a healthy weight because she will not be overeating. This boost in nutrients as opposed to commercial dog foods will strengthen your puppy’s immune system, which can decrease the risk of sickness and disease.

The natural ingredients found in this type of food also reduce the risk for allergies and skin irritations. These natural ingredients also result in healthy skin and a shiny coat. Organic puppy food can truly help your dog live longer and have more energy.

Canned Puppy Food

When your puppy first starts off, she will need soft food. High quality canned puppy food made with all natural ingredients will provide the nutrition your puppy needs without rotting her teeth. Here are some premium canned foods that are designed specifically for puppies:

Innova Puppy & Large Breed Puppy Formula
Eukanuba Mixed Grill Puppy Food
Nutro Ultra Puppy Food
Nutro MAX Large Breed

Once they get older, you will want to switch to a dry organic puppy food. There are many different brands of organic puppy food available.

Making the Switch to Organic Puppy Food

It is very important that you gradually switch the food over. Start by mixing 25% new with 75% old for two or three days. Then mix 50-50 for a couple of days. Then mix 75% new with 25% old for a few days. Your puppy will be ready within a few days to eat the new organic puppy food only.

I have always been skeptical about what was in normal dog food. Even when our baby was young, we fed them organic baby food. So, when we got our two Bulldog puppies, we decided to go the same route.
It is really nice to know what’s in the food we are feeding them and that they are getting the best of the best. When you hear about these dog food recalls from major manufacturers, it really makes me cringe inside. I am just glad we have chosen this path for our animals.
It isn’t even that much more expensive either, and the energy and the vitality that our digs exhibit is incredible. I have no doubt that the organic puppy food we feed them has made them healthier and extended their lives.

Hey, how come you give the names of a few organic canned foods, but not the names of some organic dry foods? This looks beneficial to me but having even a few brand names would be helpful.
I found out yesterday that sometime then even put in chicken feet that have been ground up. I was shocked when I started reading the ingredients of not only pet food, but also dog biscuits. The one biscuit I found that was pure is hard to find: Liver Snaps. Just liver and water, that’s it. They’re cheap too. If you find them, buy all you can.
On last thing: this “filler dog food” is not only bad for your dogs stomach, it’s bad for his entire digestive system.

Thanks for an excellent article. I especially agree with this “Organic puppy food can truly help your dog live longer and have more energy.” My puppy has been much better since we moved to organic food.
