Dog Economics of Feeding
Now for the economics of dog feeding, disregarding for the moment the time and trouble that may be spent in the preparation of some foods, including the cost of feeding a pet. If you buy a little snore food for the family to feed the dog, as so many do, it will cost you about six times as much as a good dehydrated dog food. If you feed canned or semi moist food to your pet, it will cost about three times as much as a poorer kibble-type food to which even the cheapest meat is added. By adding leftover cooking fat to a dehydrated food you will save even more and there is a better way to feed a dog. Such a diet provides three times as many calories per pound as meat so that only one third as much needs to be fed. Of course, the added water in-creases the bulk. All these methods require only common sense and most dogs can be made to thrive without digestive disorders on combinations of these different types of food. In spite of the higher cost, you may decide to feed your dog the foods you eat yourself. If you do, remember that feeding a forty pound dog in this mariner is practically equivalent to feeding half of another adult member of the family. Table V gives you, in round numbers, the approximate caloric value of massy foods fed to dogs. From it you can decide on the proper amount to feed. If you are up to providing your dog with economic feeding, you are recommended to know the following aspect of dog’s feed. Tips on Dog Economies of Feeding
