Often, these pet foods appear to mimic the human diet with natural ingredients however the food is actually highly processed.<br /> <br /> It is vital to pay attention and use common sense. The consequences of pet illness, costly vet visits and the pain and suffering in which your pet endures, prove the importance of boosting your dog's health. There's more to good dog nutrition than simply finding the proper food for your dog.<br /> <br /> Dog's eyes are sensitive and, like humans, are susceptible to infection, which can be caused by vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Checking your dog's eyes can help determine your dog's current health. So the next time you look with love upon your pet, look into his eyes and see if they are as they should be.<br /> <br /> Additionally, your animals paws should be especially cared for by regularly inspecting the pads and claws, as well as checking their teeth. Your pet can experience good digestion starting with healthy teeth.<br /> <br /> Your vet may give you a prescription dog food diet, but if you feed raw and avoid byproducts and gluten, you may avoid a trip to the vet's office.<br /> <br /> Raw Food &amp; The Parasite Myth: The wrong-doings within the pet food industry which resulted in pets being fed toxic ingredients has caused many pet owners to turn to raw foods for their animals. The BARF diet is not harmful to your pet although many people who are not educated on this matter initially believe that the raw diet could be harmful due to parasitic infection.<br /> <br /> Raw food can contain parasites and bacteria, like; Roundworms, Hookworms, Tapeworms, Trichinella - Trichinosis, Protozoa, Trematodes, Toxoplasma (cats only), and Salmon Poisoning Disease (dogs only).<br /> <br /> The truth is that when we refer to Bones and Raw Food (BARF) for dogs, we are referring to meat and meaty bones suitable for human consumption. What many non-raw believers fail to point out when talking about the risks of parasites is that parasite levels are also insignificant in human grade quality raw dog food.<br /> <br /> When you freeze raw meat and bones you will kill most parasites and bacteria; for instance, freezing salmon will destroy any parasite that can kill a dog. An effective and fast way to get rid of parasites in salmon and trout is to simply deep freeze them for a couple of days.</div><div style="font-style: italic"><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div>About the author: Rebecca Foxton can help give pets better health using <a href="http://www.dogbuffs.com/?p=80" target="_blank">Forti Flora Probiotics</a>.
