Pet food can be expensive, and if the news of the past several years is any indication, dangerous as well. Tainted dog and cat foods have sickened and killed a large number of our beloved furry friends.

What was, in the past, thought to have been intestinal and skin allergies, is now being revealed as illness due to the additives in commercial dog foods. It has gotten to such a point that a responsible pet owner does not know exactly where to turn. We have to continue to feed our four legged family members, but we do not want to put them at any kind of risk.

One of the easiest and best ways to find safe and healthy food for your pet is by using the organic pet food brands that are becoming more and more widely available, or by simply making your own. Before making the switch to organic foods, there are a few things that you should consider.

First, do not make a sudden diet switch. Ease your dog or cat into a new food routine gradually so that he does not develop any kind of stomach issues. Buy the new organic food, or your homemade mix, and start blending it with the old brand. Mix it fifty-fifty first, then, gradually increase the amount of the new food until the change over is complete.

Many pet stores carry organic food brands, but another reliable source can be online. Check out organic pet food websites; buying directly from the source may actually be cheaper in the long run. Again, do not buy a huge amount of the new food until you are sure that the pet can tolerate it and likes it. It does not matter how much a food costs, it is not a bargain if nobody will eat it. Some sites have sample sizes, but if they do not, buy the smallest amount possible before committing to a large amount. (The smaller size will be more expensive in the long run, but again, it is not a bargain if you have a fifty pounds of dog food that Fido snubs.)

Making your own dog food, of course would be the ultimate goal. There are no huge dollars to be lost if your Rover decides he doesn't like what you “cook”. You can experiement to your hearts desire until you come up with the prefect meal that is nutritionally balanced and your dog loves – then freeze it in larger quantities!

Gain a better understanding of commercial dog foods and learn how to avoid skin and gastro-intestinal allergies in your furry friends!

How much pet food should I feed my 4 and one-half month Syrian hamster?

I have Fiesta pet food that I bought and it says 2 table spoons but I don't know if that's appropriate for a baby like him. And I am only allowed to use a tea spoon. So can you tell me how many tea spoons of it I should feed him. And today I added some tiny chopped up carrots as a treat.

well u should use about 3 teaspoons and give um nuts or carrots and boiled chop eggs if it gets prego

There are many sites that have attempted to answer some of these questions, but few if any have been successful. For example, most of us have heard time and time again that corn is bad for dogs and cats. The usual justification for this information is that dogs have a difficult time digesting this ingredient. Also, many argue that corn is one of the leading causes of allergies in dogs and cats.  Is this true?

Actual Answer: Yes and No

Yes, it is true that many of the pets that come into our stores that have skin problems benefit substantially from eliminating corn from their diet. Whole corn, corn by-product, or corn meal have virtually no benefit to cats and dogs and should not be in your pet's food.

No, corn is not totally useless. Corn gluten meal has been found to help prevent cataracts in cats. It must be processed, however, in such a way that it is digestible for cats. To my knowledge, only Royal Canin has the ability to process in this manner and therefore contains corn gluten meal in some of its cat products.

Is corn gluten meal necessary? Not according to the majority of super-premium pet foods and I would agree. I think there are more problems than benefits from its inclusion.

More Information About Chicken Fat in Pet Food

There is some controversy over the use of chicken fat in pet food and whether it is an allergen or not to some dogs and cats. The fact of the matter is that fat in its purest form is not an allergen. Dogs and cats cannot be allergic to pure chicken fat even if they have a chicken allergy. The allergy comes from a reaction to the receptors on chicken protein. Unfortunately, not all pet foods "clarify", or purify their chicken fat enough to eliminate all protein residues.

Some of the manufacturers that do "clarify" their chicken fat and essentially eliminate the allergens include: Wellness, Canidae & FirstMate [http://www.naturespetfranchise.com]. If your dog or cat has an allergy to chicken and your food has chicken fat, be sure to call the manufacturer and ask if the chicken fat is "clarified" or not. This will help you decide what food is best for your allergy sensitive feline or canine friend.

How to keep flies and ants away from your pet bowls?

I have 4 dogs that are in my yard and whatever leftover food they have, ants eat, and I don't man a few ants, there is a ton in each bowl!!! So I need a non-toxic, natural, and hopefully cheap way to deter the ants from the pet bowls

Also need a remedy to keep flies away from my yard, period.

I heard of this remedy, but haven't tried it yet

Ingredients: 1/4 cup syrup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, dispense all of it into a milk carton and fill up to half with water, anyone know if this will work?

Food should never be left available to dogs. Be sure to remove food 15 minutes after feeding and wash and clean both food and water bowls once a day. Free feeding is not healthy for dogs and leftover food can go bad and cause your dogs to get sick.

As for the flies, make sure that the yard is kept clean. Clean up dog messes as soon as possible -- at least once a day. Don't leave food out. Keep kennels, dog houses and run areas sanitized. Not only will this help with the bug problems, but it will also improve the health of your dogs. If necessary, have an exterminator spray the area but be sure that the dogs are kept in a safe place until it is safe for them to return to the yard.

The syrup mixture seems like a BAD idea. Syrup has a ton of sugar which attracts both flies and ants.

Why, oh, why are pet food companies like this? How to switch to raw?

When I was feeding my cats this morning, I noticed something unusual in the can. Veggies! Like, chunks of potato, tomato and peas.

Cats are obligate carnivores and are not designed to eat fruits and veggies, but yet it's in every bag of food out there. When will the companies get that cats need lots of meat and no fruits and veggies?

Also, anyone have experience with switching a cat to a raw diet? Thanks!

I have successfully converted one cat to raw. The other one is having some issues but I'll get her yet.

Here's my blog on converting to raw. I've covered most things I think: http://runeamok.multiply.com/journal/item/16/HOW_TO_GET_STARTED_FEEDING_RAW

Back to commercial food....it bugs me too. I'd rather see veg/fruit than grains but I'd also prefer to see neither. At the moment, the only canned foods that don't add something objectionable are not complete and balanced (I don't think.....) - I'm referring to Wysong's Au Jus line and to Evo's 95% Meat. I think the Evo might be balanced but I know Wysong's isn't. So you can buy cat food that is nothing but processed meat but then you have to fiddle with a supplement.

I do think commercial foods have a long way to go but at least there are some brands that aren't completely hideous. That's not saying much but maybe in time....

Every animal owner wants to give their pet the best life possible. Feeding them the best food will give your pet a better quality of life.

Have you ever considered making your own food? It may sound time consuming but it need not be, home made animal feed is becoming more and more popular and there are many websites that can provide you with free pet food recipes. Making your own will give you peace of mind knowing exactly what your animal is eating, not to mention save you 80% of your food bill for your animal

Animal owners are turning to home made animal feed because of worries and concerns over what is actually put into tinned or dried pet food. There are many misconceptions about tinned food actually being harmful, Some people have been advised not to buy pet food that contains corn as corn is wrongly considered just a 'filler' with no nutritional function however the corn in feed is ground up so that it can be easily digested and the nutrients are absorbed.

It is important to feed animals the correct diet, if you have a younger animal such as a puppy it is important to feed them puppy food rather than a feed for an older dog this is because puppy food is specially designed with a puppy in mind, providing them with the exact balance of vitamins and calcium required.

There are so many different brands of pet food available on the market today and generally the higher the cost the higher the quality of pet food is with better quality ingredients.

If you have a pet that is about to start a different type of pet food for example dried food to meat based food it is recommended by vets that you gradually wean your pet off the old one and gradually introduce the new food. Variety is also very important you may think your pet does not care what flavour its pet food is but would you get bored of eating the same meal every single day?

Pet food can be purchased in many ways, your local convenience store or pet shop being the most popular, however it is becoming more and more available to order over the internet, you may find you can save a huge amount of money if you order your pet food through a wholesaler or a pet food trader that sells in bulk.

Whether you are buying pet food for your cat, dog, fish, hamster or birds try to remember that this is a major part of your pets life and choosing the wrong food could not only cause your pet discomfort but also lessen their quality of life. Choosing the best pet food possible will keep your pet fit and healthy for you to enjoy for years to come.
