Get some good knowledge on proper nutrition for you pet

Nutrition is one of the major factors in breeding a healthy dog and is always a source of additional arguments to the breeders, veterinarians, pet owners and dog food producers. Perhaps in no other race is a desire for food, so critical.
All dogs are prone to have fatal kidney "kidney" problem, but it can be controlled with a proper diet. Although the risk of having the "stones" are actually taken by almost all dogs, there are still cases that our dogs can prevent this fate, while enjoying life.
More dog food is marketed (ie how to make a product appealing to owners who serve the needs of the dog) around. Manufacturers make a dog food that may attract pet owners and sell them, depending on their protein content or a "special" ingredient, while some were sold because they do not give unnecessary drugs (eg preservatives) that can be harmful to dogs. We obviously want a dog food specifically meet the needs of our dog's, a one that is less expensive and offer few, if any, problems. They can come in arid, semi-moist and canned form, and some may now be purchased frozen. Cheapest is the "dry" foods includes most of the preservatives, but with less fat. Canned may spend much of your money (which consists of 3 / 4 water) that contains some fat, and have added many preservatives. Semi-dried food is expensive, especially high sugar content and is not recommended for dogs.
Protein type and not the amount of protein in the dog's diet is the most important aspects. Studies say that purines are a type of protein known to promote urinary "stone" in the dog. What we must do is feed our Dalmatian with a diet that is low in purine content, but not necessarily in a low-protein diet. Vegetarian dog food is not a good one. As broccoli, kale, mustard greens, carrots and tomatoes are low in purines, asparagus, cauliflower, beans, peas, mushrooms, spinach and whole grains are high in purines. The same diversity applies to meat and dairy products as well. Cheese, milk and eggs are low in purines, but most fish (eg herring, mackerel and sardines), organ meats (eg liver, kidney, sweetbreads), poultry (chickens, ducks, turkeys) and meat ( beef, lamb, pork, veal, game), such as purine blessed. The highest content of fish, game and offal. Commercial foods often given to dogs, chicken, lamb and eggs are often the best sources of protein and rice, as humans, remains the main carbohydrate source.
Low-purine diets are also available from the vet. On the other hand, only assures that you are aware of the elements in their diet, and you can select various diets from retail outlets. Give your pet a treat is also a good source of his daily diet, but never try to give your Dalmatian a lifetime. The best of them with fruit, cottage cheese and breakfast cereals (not whole grain). Also be very careful when giving scraps for dogs (especially liver, fish, beef and pork). You may not like what it can do.
When choosing a commercial food, make sure that food was assessed by feeding trials for a particular stage of life, not just through the food substance analysis. In the U.S., tests are performed in accordance with American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and in Canada, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. This has proven true as it was found that the dog food currently on the market only allows a chemical analysis and calculated values, but no feeding trials may not provide sufficient nutrition. Feeding studies show that eating only meet minimum standards. But they are just trying the best we can offer.
