Pet Food Information

A dog’s daily energy needs are individualized and change throughout their life, and are influenced by many elements. Beyond just calorie requirements, dogs have specific nutrient requirements, but lucky for pet owners most foods in the US are designed to meet those standards. However, available nutrition can vary greatly between food types. Giving your dog the best nutrition possible gives them the best health possible.

Dogs’ attraction to grass may be traced back to their closest relative, the wolf. A 2008 study from the University of California, Davis, points out that, despite the lack of research on grass-eating domestic pets, both wild dogs and cats in nature eat plants and grass.

GMOs are a hotly debated topic, as their use and consumption have grown immensely in recent years. Understanding how genetically modified organisms are produced, grown, and sold allows pet parents a fuller picture of what does and does not go into the making of their pet’s food.

It’s not likely that your dog has grown sick of their food, but there may be something else going on.

Mealtime can be a struggle for some families, but it does not have to be. As with any part of dog training, it is important that the pet parent always takes full ownership of the dog’s behavior and the outcome of the training. Your dog can learn positive behaviors but only with your support and patience.

A quality diet is essential for the long-term health of any animal, and our dogs are no exception. Any nutritionally balanced dog diet relies on six elements: carbs, fats, minerals, proteins, water, and vitamins. The nutritional content of the food your dog consumes will affect his or her mood, behavior, overall health, and longevity.

In recent years, the anchovy has seen a resurgence in the human health food world as an exciting source of calcium, protein, and vitamins. This is great for humans, but what does the anchovy have to offer our pets? It turns out the anchovy is also rich in something particularly useful to dogs: omega-3 essential fatty acids.  

AAFCO is the Association of American Feed Control Officials, and it is a voluntary organization that is responsible for regulating dog food (that falls under the FDA, Food and Drug Administration).
