What Dogs Should Eat

We may not take the needed time to think, but we are not naive, and we all know that our dogs are meat eater by nature. Good nutrition is not fashion or washing powder that can be improved every year. In dog’s nutrition there are fundamentals to follow, and then you can only create new flavors and change the packaging. The only problem is that we are guided by the beautiful pack­aging and slogans. Dog’s happiness and health has nothing to do with the color of the packaging or the shape of the food!

How is Gut Flora Created

  1. Puppies in the womb don’t have any flora in their gut.
  2. The first good bacteria attach themselves to the intestinal wall during birth.
  3. All the time puppies are drinking milk the gut flora is chiefly made up of good bifidobacterial that produce acids to kill the harmful bacteria.
  4. The transition to solid food happens gradually to give acid-resistant bacteria the chance to become established.
  5. Eating raw meat ensures the growth and maintenance of healthy and balanced gut flora. Dry food is always sterile, which reduces the number of good bacteria and makes it harder for your dog to fight infections. In the worst case, just drinking from a puddle could then make him ill. Take care of your dog’s gut flora factory by giving him the right foods!
