Very good article and this is a great example of what I've been trying to discuss on several threads recently. He discovered that "I was mistaken in the belief that any "Complete and Balanced" dog food was appropriate to feed." . It's good to know he's recommending a high protein food, I couldn't agree more.


I love the term, "they were over-caloried but under-nourished". This is a huge concern of mine, and we now know that every calorie isn't created equally.

I think this is a wonderful recommendation and he's a vet not a dentist!

"I recommend that a dog owner look at the pet food label. Look at the ingredient list and a meat such as chicken should be listed as the first ingredient. Look at the guaranteed analysis to see that the protein level is at 30 percent or more. The fat content should be at 18 percent or more. And if there is a rather wide spectrum of ingredients such as omega fatty acids and vitamin E, that's good, too. There should be NO FOOD COLORING!"
