According to online sources, the NRC or National Research Council's Committee on Animal Nutrition was the first group to establish minimal requirements for canine nutrition. Lots have recently and over time, occurred, developed in markets, understanding, research, even recalls and pet deaths (related and traced to pet food) have made all pet owners more weary and more motivated than ever. to get the best possible value for their dollar, but more (if not MOST!) importantly.

According to online sources, the NRC or National Research Council's Committee on Animal Nutrition was the first group to establish minimal requirements for canine nutrition. Lots have recently and over time, occurred, developed in markets, understanding, research, even recalls and pet deaths (related and traced to pet food) have made all pet owners more weary and more motivated than ever… to get the best possible value for their dollar, but more (if not MOST!) importantly…

THREE GREAT REASONS TO GET THE BOOK:

	This goes beyond mere product, brand, choice, cost, suppliers
	It represents a wider, broader and deeper quest, search and determination of pet-owners and pet-lovers
	To provide the best stewardship, companionship and care they possible can!

	Knowing what to feed your best canine friend(s), can be quite the challenge.
	Many options in the marketplace abound. Reading the nutrition labels only tell half the story.
	Owners and pet lovers need to know what they are putting into the systems of their pets.
	This growing, expanding market offers great choice and options, for varying budgets and preferences needs to be understood to be tapped into effectively.

Pet nutrition science, pet food marketing information can be confusing and overwhelming, but you can make healthier choices for your dog. Commercially you can find many quality products, for smaller and larger breeds of dogs. Most owners are looking for complete and balanced nutrition. Fats and proteins are not all your dog will need. There are many claims that some foods are better or so-called naturally healthier. This is not necessarily true.

Here are just some of the criteria you can utilize to screen for the best value and quality dog food:

	Palatability (taste)
	Acceptability
	Cost
	Digestibility
	Suitability

(** NOTE: you possibly might even have some to add to this list!)

For optimal health and vitality of your dogs/pets, they do not necessarily need high levels of proteins. Too much of a good thing is never good (we all know that!). (THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE MYTHS THAT GET DEBUNKED IN THIS BOOK! FIND MORE – GET YOUR COPY NOW! ORDER DETAILS HERE!)

Obesity and nutritional disorders are on the rise, with more and more conscious decision-making about ingredients, formulations etc. put into focus… the VERY REAL AND PRESSING NEED to take issue with what, how much dogs are consuming, balanced living and nutrition CAN NO LONGER BE IGNORED. IT IS TIME TO ACT!

	anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting elements
	chelated minerals
	colostrums
	creatine monohydrate
	electrolytes
	glucosamine
	glucose polymers
	Omega 3 fatty acids
	powerful amino acids
	vitamins

** NOTE: Once you know the energy density and caloric distribution, you can determine the amount of a particular food to give your dog.

	Protect from disease and developing chronic diseases with good nutrition.
	If the animal does get sick, it will get better faster too, NOT staying sick longer.
	Ensure longevity and optimal functioning through all stages of life for your dogs.
	Protection, helping and enabling is what you are doing if you pick and feed them the right type, quality and amount of food with each feeding.
	Losing, maintaining weight are both critical for the types of food, amount, dog you have, its ultimate health and wellbeing, even longevity.

Illness, disease and weight gain/loss often go hand in hand. There are many complex reasons, interconnected aspects and root causes that might be leading to weight fluctuations, gains or loss. Treatment professionals and regular visits, check-ups and weigh-ins can help you track and monitor, ascertain whether this is an issue where your pet is concerned. Essential is to find out once and for all, whether medical or genetic factors are at play here, OR if it is just feeding habits, quantities, treats, type of food, lack of a fully-rounded, exercise-filled daily routines, activities and exercise.

Groundbreaking diagnostic tools, effective medications or other alternative holistic therapies can make a world of difference too. You can ensure that your pet is not prematurely or eventually suffering from either these types of challenges or at your own hand!

Other reasons pets gain weight can have something to do with their age, development stage or phase of life.

Aging very much is part of a dog’s life too, it is inevitable, undeniable and needs to be addressed. You will, can and should not be feeding a puppy, growing, adult or aging pet quite the same food, amounts and treating their bodies, needs differently almost is a no-brainer for most. So much so that it often goes overlooked or underestimated, even ignored!

Shedding light on this aspect, the veterinarian can provide useful information on what these needs are, how they change over time, the best strategy, products and priorities that you can follow and things to do together to ensure balanced living, nutrition and health, maintaining a good, healthy body weight (regardless of breed, size or age!) Never undervalue that insights and shared wisdom from following a trusted qualified, caring veterinarian’s advice and treatment options. A quick check-up, routine examination or full-spectrum blood tests can provide some more insights into what you need to do, change or intervene with in the life, menu, serving, eating, routines of/for your pet and household, care and activities that you share and enjoy together.

Treatment and intervention for illness or disease is of cardinal and utmost importance. Relief, longevity and quality of life for both you and your pet goes beyond the feeding dish and daily walks!

A critical revelation for most pet owners, pet-lovers is that they might be to blame or contributing to excess weight in their pets. We do not intentionally mean to harm or overfeed our pets. Our habits, routines and choices just need to be brought into full awareness, under scrutiny and potentially even adjusted, eliminated in some cases, to ensure that our pets are not getting the wrong message and nutrition (despite of or because of our feeding, snacking, treating, loving pampering, ‘care’ and TLC!)

Pets that carry excess weight are at increased risk of developing illness, disease, die prematurely or even get complications, have difficulty moving and making it a top priority to have them take in less calories daily, to lose and maintain weight will become a daily routine, necessary adjustment for both owner/handler/lover and pet. The relationship with each other and with food will change forever and for the better!
NOW, THE BUCK HAS TO STOP HERE! IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE! ONCE AND FOR ALL, FOR GOOD! FOR THE HEALTH, FUTURE, WELL-BEING AND LONGEVITY OF YOUR BELOVED CANINE COMPANION(S)!

Excess calorie intake, gets stored in our bodies (and those of our pets) as fat (energy storage). We are in constant survival mode as far as that is concerned and this is part of how we are designed and hot-wired to an extent.

If they are eating too much, simply put, they are not using all the energy and nutritional sources, which will mean the body excretes waste products, it does not need and stores the unused calories, as fat! Still wondering where all that weight gain and excess fat is coming from – start writing down in a daily food journal everything your pet consumes in a 24 hour period (over say 1 week) You will or might be astonished, surprised and prone to do things differently forever once you do this simple activity. Most of us go about our business (feeding our pets), without sparing a thought of how what we are in fact doing, might be putting them at increased risk. Once you know or are aware of it, it is a no-brainer – things have to change!

Even just lessening calorie intake by 5-10% can make a world of difference in the life, health and weight of your dog. Make it a priority to help them to lose weight, be more active, eat less, eat better and use their energies, burning fat (stored), calories and enjoying life, not over-indulging, binging, over-eating! Also, take precautions not to starve or under-nourish your pet with unrealistic expectations, harming your animal in the long-run. Discuss your options and strategies with your veterinarian for practical tips and implementation over time, in the short, medium and longer time-spans and periods.

	Making balanced nutrition a TOP PRIORITY
	Moderation as some of the master-keys and secrets at play and work here.
	Moving beyond feeding, foods, treats and snacks, brands, portion sizes
	Taking a MORE holistic view and broader, in-depth topic of health, nutrition as a whole.
	Monitoring, planning, executing with precision and a plan is better than randomly going about filling dishes and serving treats when you think or feel like it.

REALIZE and REMEMBER….What you are doing in effect, will affect the health, diet, well-being and weight, even longevity of your pet. You will encounter and hear this phrase a lot in the unfolding pages and ecourse over and over again.

It is as if we know and recognize it, but when it comes to doing the right things, we tend to shy away from it, forget or overlook its true value and contributions!

Understand why and how dog’s body, systems and whole health work
What could underlie weight loss of gain?
What getting spayed or neutered has to do with it?
What happens when dogs age and they start using or needing less energy, needing fewer calories in their diet and actually EATING TOO MUCH!
How dogs end up gaining excess weight, storing fat and increasing their size
Role and value of practical, structured, gradual calorie intake reduction.

Less calories, less stored fat, less weight gain, more activity, healthy weight, active lifestyle – those are the key ingredients for what will make the difference for wellbeing and maintenance over time, even if your pet is ‘fixed’, spayed or neutered!

** NOTE: Did you know that there are increases in risk of skeletal diseases in medium and large breeds predisposed to developmental bone disorders based on some types and quantities of high-protein, high-fat type diets, brands of dog-food?

It certainly sounds good to give a developing dog something that will help with their muscles, skeletal structure development, right? Well, it could also have dire consequences, as we keep discovering (depending also on whom you choose to ask about it!)

Take real issue, be informed and make wiser, smarter choices regarding (i) the nutritional requirements of the dog for the purpose of selecting good-quality dog food. (ii) common misconceptions regarding feeding and supplementation (iii) medical findings as they pertain to dog nutrition, foods, brands, weight, etc.

Although they are meat-eaters, a balanced nutritional plan is key for dogs. Every individual pet will have special and specific needs, so what is good/great for one, might not suit the purposes and requirements of another. Unique dietary needs and requirements will have to and might need to be addressed and considered separately – there is no ONE SIZE FITS ALL HERE!

	Body weight
	Level of activity
	Environment
	Pregnancy
	Lactation
	Aging
	Bloodline
	Type/size of dog
	Genetics
	Illness/disease/medical

… and many other inter-related or relevant influencers.

SOME PRATICAL TIPS TO FURTHER WHET YOUR APPETITE…

	Stick to what works! Do not change the diet too often, of the dog might develop some quirky palette preferences or strange eating habits (balanced variety is good)
	Stick to a particular brand of dog food (if it works for your pet) – there is not a need to change it
	Change the brand, type of food if there is any allergic response, adverse reaction or performance issue related to the food
	Do not change the food frequently that could lead to gastrointestinal upset
	Allow for 10 minutes to eat, with bowl-removal when time lapsed , even if there is food left over
	Avoid irritation by making gradual changes (6 weeks – 3 month time-frame)
	Feeding less and smaller meals more often is better, managing metabolism, blood-sugars and energy levels throughout the day
	Do all you can to avoid potential gastrointestinal complications or even bloating
	Avoid excess food consumption, excess water intake, or build up of gas
	Be aware that it can lead to a distended stomach cutting off vital blood supply.
	No drinking of large volumes of water or exercise immediately after eating

** NOTE: If dogs do or have ingested anything harmful TO DOGS, (however small the quantity), contact a veterinarian or animal poison control immediately without delay and get medical attention. They would recommend you induce vomiting within two hours of ingestion.

Some questions to ask yourself about your dog’s nutrition:

	How can they form an intricate part of overall nutrition, meals and daily routines and how can you then incorporate them into your pet's daily lifestyle (without leading to more and unnecessary weight gain)? Does your dog/pet have specific needs in weight loss that this food, portions would enable, hinder or help?
	How will if affect my dog?
	Is it and does it offer enough for your dog to live, survive and thrive on OR too much of things he/she does not need?
	What is the nutritional value of the total package?

It is more about following and having a balanced diet, than it is about lower calories and weight loss!! GET THE PET NUTRITION ACTION PLAN WITH A DIFFERENCE! ORDER YOUR COPY TODAY!

Serving sizes and recommended portions will vary, depending on the manufacturer, type of food, dog it is catering to. Again these are averages and remember, it comes from those selling the product, interested not so much in your pet’s health necessarily, but seeing more of the products flying off the shelf. Typically the suggestion is to discuss your dog’s nutritional needs with your professional care-giver, veterinarian to get the optimal weight, size and needs within acceptable parameters for your dog specifically, on a case-by-case merit. No two dogs are the same (not even from the same litter). Their needs will be unique upon themselves and even in a multi-dog, pet home, what is good for one, might not be so for the other (genetics, breed, age, sequence of birth etc.

Balanced food intake does not have to be an endless, ever-elusive pipe-dream. You can make it happen. Ensure that the pet is optimal body weight and not gaining or losing as a good parameter of appropriate feeding schedules and potions sizes.

Type of food, type of dog, size, age, gender, body weight, fitness and activity level, build and condition, medical status, all affect what you feed and should be feeding your pet. Food is designed with differing audiences and purposes in mind. Some for puppies, some for older dogs, some for pregnant, gestating and lactating mother-dogs, aging, dying dogs. It all varies and depends. Adjustments will have to be made in each case, for each dog, based on manufacturer's suggestions as well as veterinarian advise and consult. NOW YOU TOO CAN LEARN HOW!
