Organic And Non-Organic Dog Foods, What's The Difference?
As you know, commercial dog food exists in a multitude of colours, sizes, flavors, and shapes. The real difference is clearly the ingredients contained in the products. You will be surprised to know that the compound list on dog food labels reads just like human junk food. Some ingredients are even difficult to pronounce and so are borrowed from medical encyclopedias. Then of course there are dog foods which are teeming with artificial ingredients, additives and preservatives that can be bad for pets. So just what is "Spot" to do on the subject of healthy eating?
Numerous pet owners are using organic dog foods to nourish their pets. Just as we humans are aware of what we put into our bodies, these pet owners take that same awareness and use it to make wiser decisions about not including chemicals in their dogs' food. Organic dog treats will be the next best thing to all natural dog food, as they are without any the pesticides and insecticides that are present in many foods.
Be aware of food labels however, as they are often very confusing. Natural dog food is not the same as "organic" dog food and this can be really misleading for many people. The fact is, "natural" foods are not held to the same higher standard as "organic" foods. The USDA must certify a food as organic, before the food can be labeled as such. Natural dog food are considerably less costly than their organic counterparts, and thus are not deemed as reliable. Natural foods do however assure the absence of food colouring and additives such as sodium metabisulfite or ethoxyquin, which can be allergens associated with allergies, cancer and even brain damage.
Although organic food servings are pricier and contain about half the amount of food in volume when compared with non-organic food, dogs are reportedly more satisfied with the lesser amount due to the purity of the healthier ingredients contained. This makes the organic and non-organic dog foods very comparable in price.
The bottom line is that deciding to feed your dog organic food as opposed to the preservative and chemically rich non-organic food can certainly go a long way in helping your dog stay a more healthy and troublefree life free of allergies, skin problems, diabetes and cancer. An added benefit may be the lower veterinary clinic bills brought on by your healthier dog.
