What is the most nutritious dog food for your whippet?

The smart way to save on vet bills is to invest in the best, nutritious dog food available for your pet. Which might be the best food is still controversial.

A healthy, happy pet is the pleasure and pride of any dog owner.

Whippets are a very strong and healthy dogs, despite their fragile appearance and the best way to maintain your whippet healthy and good looking is a sensible diet.

Unfortunately what makes an appropriate diet in a whippet view and in yours is probably not the same.


Most Nutritious Dog Food According to your Whippet


Unattended human food

Is the most sought after food in whippet world.

Whippets show a diabolical ability in reading your mind and body language to catch the occasional moment of distraction. This whippet trait will teach you very effectively not to leave food around and will make of you a better housekeeper.

Garbage

The inebriating smell of trash has earned whippets the name of garbage hounds. Again, this will improve your domestic abilities.

Chocolate

Chocolate is poisonous for dogs. Recently it has been used to sweetly exterminate coyotes. Be egoistic, keep all your chocolate for yourself.

Brittle bones

Resist those doe eyes. Cooked bones are brittle and can cause choking, intestinal blockage and pierce intestinal walls.

Best dry dog foods

In the past the only option was making your own dog food at home. Dog diet was an easy resolved matter, it consisted of cooked meat scraps and rice plus some occasional left over.

The dogs enjoyed the food variety and a reasonable good health but this regimen involved a good deal of extra cooking, storing, shopping and general laboring. I must admit I welcomed the advent of dry dog food with immense gratitude.

For convenience reasons I never gave my whippets any other option but the dry dog food and some occasional table scrap added for variety.

My whippets always did very well on this diet as long as I stuck to the best dry dog foods. Whenever I strayed from the premium brands I was punished with skin problems and consequent unwelcome vet bills.

I found out at my expense that veterinary bills can exceed what you might save on less nutritious dog food.

Even dry food loses nutrients in time and the fats can degrade and become rancid. Check the expiration date and store the food in a dry cool place.

Homemade dog food

The debate between the proponents of home made dog food and those who prefer commercial feeds is still open.

On one side commercial diets have been tested on entire generation of dogs, their components provide optimal nutrition and the best dry dog foods contain human-quality ingredients.

On another hand these foods are highly processed and are very unlike a dog’s natural diet.

Dog raw food diet

Proponent of raw dog food diet, feed their dogs whole raw animal carcasses pointing out that this diet is closer to the natural diet of wild animals and claiming good results for the health of their pets and savings on food bills.

Occasional selected table scraps

Who can resist those imploring eyes?

For variety you can add some table scraps to your pet food when appropriate leftovers like meat, chicken,eggs or rice are available.

To avoid begging, always add the table scraps to the dry food in your dog bowl.
