48 2949833 by dr al thompson nutrition as it ap plies to the dog might be regarded as one of the most controver sial subjects in small animal veterinary practice if you asked 10 veterinarians how to feed your dog you would most likely get 10 different answers none incorrect all suitably researched and with excellent reasoning behind their methods with this in mind it must be realized that what follows is my opinion and only that based on my studies and 16 years experi ence however i am always open to new suggestions and ideas based on new re search and discus sions with breeders and dog owners be cause after all these people are best suited to observe subtle re sponses in their dog to changes in diet the average cana dian dog is better fed than the average canadian dog owner we owe this to our pet food industry where intense competition for the consumer dol lar leads to a high quality product at a reasonable price however it should be realized that canned or packaged garbage masquerading as dog food is also available very little regula tion exists as to what can be sold as dog food it is a rarity to deal with dietary de ficiency in fact it is usually the opposite more often than not our most difficult nut ritional challenge is controlling the excess the obese dog as a rule when lam discussing nutrition with a client cooking or formulating a dogs ration from hu man food is rarely discussed i cannot understand why peo ple feel that they can formulate a ration from table scraps and end up with a better diet than companies such as purina gaines or shur gain who have invested ex tensive money and aging and presenta- yearsof research pro- tion of semimoist ducing an economical products leads to a palatable diet which high priced product meets all the known nutritional require ments of the canine three forms three forms of dog food currently avail able are dry semi- moist and canned dry dog food kibble meal today is gener ally the expansion type available in bulk bags semimoist diets burger type are prepared to look like meat and are available in easy to use meal sized pouches dry foods are as a rule completely ba lanced and nutri tionally sound they can be used on a self feed basis and gener ally are the most eeo- nomical form of feeding semimoist foods are high quality pro ducts however they contain large amounts of uneces- sary sugar to in crease palatability generally the pack- but a very convenient food for small breeds of dogs canned foods are more palatable than either of the other two forms but as a rule are not as well ba lanced high phos phorouslow calcium and because of their high palatability can not be self feed their musky composition often leads to dental disease the accu mulation of tartar and subsequent periodentitis result ing in premature loss of teeth getting adjusted into a high quality diet begins as a pup py attempts to change the diet of a 10 year old toy poodle fed steak and pota toes all his life will usually end up in fai lure however it is worth a try find out what the puppy had been fed at the breed ers and if change is necessary make that change gradually i believe all pups should be wearsd onto a dry puppy food purina gaines lams science diet etc childrens pab- lum and milk should not be used selecting a diet and method of feeding is dependent on the breed of dog and life style of both dog and owner if the animal is expected to work obedience trial show sled dog etc then a high energy diet is necessary self feeding in the average urban setting where the dog is performing a role as a pet only i strongly suggest in troducing the puppy to self feeding in this method the animal feeds himself from a container where a high quality brand name dry food is al ways available he can eat as much as he wants whenever he wants an available supply of fresh water is essential self feeding offers many advantages a pup maintainsanenergyirequirements evenlevelof nutrients necessary for growth in his blood stream are no longer needed eating when he is hun- theanimalcanbeleft gry instead of gorging on a self feed prog- two or three times a ram or can be ad- day this program justed to once or twice minimizes boredom and reduces damage dogs will do to furni ture and rugs if the owner is away from home during the scheduled feeding time the dog can satisfy his hunger conversion to self feeding should begin gradually the new puppy is used to com petition from litter mates for his food and will over eat if allowed to a word of caution some puppies and dogs may overeat and become obese but most animals ad just well and will eat the correct amount needed for appropri ate weight gain and growth especially when this system is begun as soon as a pup is old enough to chew dry foods easily rather than long after his feeding habits 1 i6tikixetrafclkif0 john heaton painting contractor high quality decorating fully guaranteed airless spray completely insured 6404338 free estimates n
