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

  • You may search the internet to note down the various nutrition choices of your dog. Proper nutrition is the very basic requirement for a dog diet. Sometimes the information provided on the net may not be authentic so, it would be wise enough for you to consult a vet doctor to create a diet chart which would be inexpensive for you but at the same time highly nutritious for your dog. You may try out with holistic or commercial diets and home made raw diets as well.
  • Buy commercialized foods that adhere to the guidelines of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). You are recommended to read the labels of the food items carefully as not all dogs are in requirement of the same level of nutrition. Some dog food manufacturing companies also go beyond the general guidelines by providing the food that would be ideal for your pet dog.
Another very effective method of knowing your dog’s ideal but economic feed is by enquiring from friends. You are recommended to accrue information of nutritious dog’s food from your friends and associates. It would be highly advisable for you in case you take feeding tips from your friend who has the dog of the breed to which your own pet belongs and more so in case if they are of the same age.
