knyte:Thanks for your swift response bros. I thought salt isn't good for dog that is why I add maggi to the rice so it can have a good taste. I soak the crunchies so I can easily marsh it with the fish into the rice. My dog is a year old and I just bought him |

Prodeegee:Big bros thanks for your contribution. I have a question to ask sir, tho I add titus fish too my dogs food is it advisable to catfish intestine and gills to the meal also cos I can get it in large quantity in my area? |
Re: In Need Of Advice On Proper Dog Meal!! by Prodeegee(m): 8:35am On Jun 18, 2015 |
aquadude15: I tried it once. Catfish intestine and gills makes your dog fat. Pretty fat. But also makes your dog sick, so does cow foetus. I'm yet to come up with a concrete reason as to why. But the facts remain that all breeders that use foetus or catfish gills and intestine to feed mostly have problem with conception in their dogs. Either all foetus is aborted or dam's milk gets contaminated and kills pups within a week. however, this doesn't say there are no dogs with very strong immune who can survive this, but its a 1/100.

Dogs Depend on Protein Dogs may be omnivores, but they rely heavily on protein to help them survive and thrive. Protein contains essential amino acids that are crucial to the process of cell production. Without enough protein in their diet, dogs can develop a host a health problems. They'll lose energy, their coats will become dull and lifeless, and their immune systems become less capable of fighting off disease. "Biological value" is a term used to describe how easily dogs can render the available protein from a particular food source and absorb it into their systems. Foods that have a high biological value are the best protein sources for dogs because they are the easiest to digest. When the food is thoroughly digested, the dog gains as much of the available protein as possible. Foods that contain a lot of protein yet have a low biological value are not easily digested by dogs, and so they aren't a good source of protein. There are hundreds of dog food formulas available on the market. Thebest brands use protein sources with a high biological value, while the worst base their formulas on low biological value foods. There are also a range foods in between that include both high and low biological value foods. Why such a difference? High value protein sources often cost more, while low value proteins are cheaper, more cost effective and still meet pet food guidelines for minimum protein content even though a dog can't digest the food well enough to absorb the protein that is in it. With this in mind, compare the following protein sources commonly found in a wide variety of commercial dog foods. Superior Protein Sources for Dogs Eggs may not immediately come to mind when considering the best protein sources for dogs, but they are an excellent source of protein and are included in some dog food formulas and many homemade diets. You may even be surprised to learn that eggs are a better source of protein than meat since a dog can render more protein from them as long as they are cooked. Fish When it comes to feeding fish to a pet, most people tend to think of cats. However, fish also provides an excellent source of protein for dogs as long as it is cooked. Many prominent dog food brands offer formulas that contain fish or fish meal, and salmon is usually the fish of choice since it is high in omega-3 fatty acid. Real Meat You'll see numerous ingredients listed on a dog food label, and it's sometimes difficult to determine exactly what some of those terms really mean. However, there's no mistaking a real, named meat when you read it. Real meat is the most natural source of protein a dog can consume; it's what his digestive system was designed to eat as evidenced by his wild ancestors. Some of the most common meats included in dog diets are: Real Meat: Beef, Duck, Chicken, Turkey, Liver, & Venison. There seems to be a bit of confusion over whether meat meal is a good source of protein for dogs. To be clear, meat meal is not the same thing as a meat by-product. Meat meal is real meat that has been dried and pulverized into a gritty powder. Removing both the water and fat from the meat leaves a very concentrated source of protein that is added to a dog food formula to boost the protein content. Meat meal is actually very digestible, and this means a dog can render more nutrition from it than from an inferior source of protein. The more efficiently a dog can digest his food, the less waste he produces. Cheese Although you won't find an overwhelming number of dog food brands that include cheese in their formulas, it is a very viable source of protein for canines. While regular cheese and cottage cheese both contain protein, they contain different amounts of fat. If you have a dog that could use a lower fat diet, cottage cheese is the better choice. Inferior Protein Sources Meat By-Products Meat by-products are what's left of a carcass after the main meat has been stripped from an animal. Although there is some protein to be found in these leftovers, they are generally much less digestible for a dog. He can consume them, but the protein will pass through his system largely undigested and simply contribute to a larger volume of stool. Some examples of meat by-products include: BeaksCorn and Wheat It's true that you can feed a dog corn or wheat and he'll render a little protein from these foods, but the protein in these grains are very difficult for dogs to digest. This means brands that use corn, corn meal, wheat and wheat gluten as main protein sources technically meet industry standards for protein content. However, they cannot actually deliver all the protein promised because dogs can't digest these foods efficiently. A good deal of the protein passes right through the dog's system unused. Now Check Your Dog's Food With a clear understanding of just how digestible and, therefore, more nutritionally valuable a particular source of protein can be, check the ingredients label on your own dog's food. Those ingredients are listed by volume from highest to lowest, and those first five ingredients are often the most important because they list the type of protein used as the main component of the formula. Regardless of its reputation or marketing, does your current brand use high value or low value protein sources? Depending on what you see, you can either continue to feed your dog that brand with confidence or decide it's time to look for a healthier brand. 3 Likes 1 Share |

darvic1515:. . . . Do not change her diet now, don't give her vitamins until the puppies are born, instead, make sure her diet is as good as you can make it... You can add fresh veg for trace minerals and vitamins, and meat for extra proteins. DO NOT give her milk or calcium supplements also, her body is already generating enough calcium and milk and if you give her too much, it can affect her puppies. As long as she is on a good diet, its all good, giving her supplement will only cause an Overdose of vitamins which can cause illness. |

[color=#006600][/color]Pls beware of fish bones.I ve seen dogs perished by the bones. No other dog feed can compare with fresh cow Foetus which is high in all the vital nutrients to keep your dogs healthy and speedy development. Have you stop to think of what makes the dog families(lions,tiger,wolfs,fox etc) to grow strong without human or artificial supplement. The reason is not far fetch, they derives all what they need from flesh of other animals. Domesticating our pets doesn't mean we should deprieve them of fundamental feeding needs. This fresh cow foetus/calf can be served with or without other feed. You shall observe speedy development within the first week of use. Another good thing about this flesh is that,no dog can say no to it.. Call us on 08038352849/08051939228 to place your order. Free delivery for multiple orders. Location-ota-iju-Agege |

knyte: Its not advisable to give dogs salt or any sauce,I have never added salt to my cooking over the years and they feed well,its partly why I don't recommend remnants for feeding because of the sauce aside other particles like bottle covers or servettes. I was adviced not to ever gve salt when I bought my 1st dog and ever since I don't. Said salts make their barks to seize when they bark consistently and I think it works as their barks never seize even if they bark all day 24/7. I learnt dogs don't have tastebuds dunno how far true this is though! |

Eating too much salt can make your dog seriously thirsty. That means a lot of trips to the fire hydrant and it could lead to sodium ion poisoning. Symptoms of too much salt include vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, high temperature, and seizures. It may even cause death. coolsegun2002: |
