How Many Calories To Insure Your Dogs Health

Calorie Requirements For Dogs - Keeping Your Dog Healthy


If you seen the results from several canned dog food investigations, you may have decided that you can do a better job feeding your dog food that you have prepared for them. But feeding a balanced diet may be harder to calculate than you may think. Let me give you a few things to consider before taking on this huge responsibility.



How much is too much? When it comes to keeping your dog fit and not overweight, you will need to consider how much you need to feed your dog. It all comes down to calories...the same way it is for the rest of us. In order for us to maintain our weight,and not gain pounds, we have to stick with the correct calorie recommendations for our body type, and size.




This is the same guideline we need to follow with our own dog. The average calorie requirement is 30 calories per pound of body weight per day to maintain their current body weight. A smaller active dog under 20 pounds can use up to 40 calories per pound per day. While a large dog over 50 pounds can get by with as little as 20 calories per pound per day.




But there are many factors to consider when determining the right amount of caloric intake for your dog. Inactive dogs or neutered dog in hot climates require less calories, while a working dog, herding dog, or one that spends the majority of their day outside may require above the average amount of calories.




Your dogs individual metabolism, exercise, age, environment and overall health will all help to determine what your dog really needs to remain lean and healthy. If your dog is overweight, increase his exercise, and decrease the calorie intake. A good rule of thumb would be to keep their calories at 60% of the normal requirement.




A complete chart of the "Caloric Requirements" for dogs based on these various needs...as well as recommendations for feeding your dog a balanced diet can be found when following the link below. It may surprise you when you see what food is good for your dog, and what food you should NEVER feed your dog.

What The Dog Food Label Is Not Telling You

Reading The Dog Food Label - Understanding Dog Food Labels


How much do you love your dog? A pretty silly question, don't you think? You're taking time out of your busy day to read information on the canine breed right now. So I know how much your dog means to you. So doesn't it make sense, then, that you'd select food for your dog that we know to be healthy and nutritionally sound?




Let me ask you, do you know the difference between the dog food label "Chicken Dog Food" and "Dog Food With Chicken"? What is the difference, you ask? About 22%. "Chicken Dog Food" has to have at least 25% chicken in the can, while "Dog Food With Chicken" has to only have 3% of chicken included in your dogs dinner delight!!




And the dog food manufacturers seem to be putting a lot of time, effort and money into convincing us that their products are natural and nutritionally sound with marketing gimmicks and eye-catching claims that tell us what we want to hear.




Don't spend extra money on dog food simply because "premium" is part of the description of the dog food. Products labled as "premium," "super-premium", "ultra-premium" or "gourmet" do not contain any different or higher quality ingredients, nor are they held up to any higher nutritional standards than are any other complete and balanced product.




The same way the dog food labeled with the term "natural" has little to no meaning. So I wouldn't be tempted by that term either. It can be the equivalent to a lack of artificial flavors, artificial colors, or artificial preservatives in the product.




Now that I have you a little more concerned about label reading, remember that all ingredients are to be listed in order of predominance by weigh. You will want MEAT to be the first on the list...followed by an absorbable grain, such as rice. Anything else is just not good enough for your pet!! A very simple rule to follow. I hope this information will have you spending a little more time in the dog food aisle from now on, reading what you're feeding your dog. And I have only touched a few of the highlights on this topic,you can read much more by following the link below.

Dog Food Comparisons

Dog Food Company Research

We have recently come to the conclusion that commercial dog foods are nutritionally evil, and that the best diet is a homemade diet. But three factors may still sway you towards purchasing, rather than making your own food for your pet.


1) You're just not much of a cook,
2) There's the whole (obvious) convenience factor.
3) You may not be confident in your abilities to correctly ascertain your dog's needs, and the appropriate nutritional balance.



We came to your rescue! In a recent study of all the major brands (and not so major brands) of dog food, were all put to the test, rating one against the other. Paying close attention to all the ingredients that make up their product. We wanted to see if there were any dog food products that were safe to feed your dog, that wouldn't possibly cause health problems in the coming years..




Very interesting to see none of the major brands making it on the recommended list! So if you decide to go withthe winners, you will have to make the purchase online, or possibly check at the pet stores and maybe your vets office for the dog food that topped the list.




One ingredient that came up quite often was Menadione Sodium Bisulfate, a synthetic form of Vitamin K. This ingredient is both unnecessary and potentially harmful. It has been linked to the following:

v Liver cell cytotoxicity
v Weakened immune systems
v Potential mutagenic effects
v Damage to the natural Vitamin K cycle
v Hemolytic anemia and jaundice
v Direct toxicity in high doses
v Irritation of the skin and mucous membranes
v Allergic reactions and eczema




Bad marks were given to those that used corn, wheat, "by-products", dairy, sugars, artificial colors, flavors and chemical preservatives. It was surprising to see corn as the first ingredient on many of the major dog food cans. Other common finds were Chicken By-product
Meal, Meat Meal, Meat & Bone Meal, Animal Fat.




You will certainly want to get the scoop on who scored the highest, and who didn't make the list at all. This study may motivate you to try your hand at baking a delicious homemade doggie recipe, or doggie biscuit in the near future!
