Nutrition and Premium Diets
|
Although grains are good for humans, dogs and cats are primarily meat-eaters - certainly NOT vegetarians!
Look at the ingredients: Supermarket brands are primarily grain and soy.
You may think soy protein is just as good as meat protein, but animal-based protein is the most usable form of protein for animals. Dogs have a much shorter intestine than humans, and therefore must convert protein much faster to a digestible form. Vegetable proteins are digested much slower.
- Beef and chicken are the MAJOR sources of protein in Premium Foods.
- High quality protein is much easier on the liver and kidneys as your pet matures.
- Diets high in fiber (indigestible material) are healthy for people, but can produce loose and frequent stools.
- Premium Foods such as Hills Science Diet® are 85--95% digestible.
- Most commercially available foods are only 50-60% digestible!
- Higher digestibility means LESS STOOLS and easier housetraining.
- Quality Foods are completely balanced. Often you note improved hair coat and muscle mass in six (6) weeks due to high quality ingredients.
- Since young animals have small stomachs, a more concentrated food insures better growth because it contains more nutrition and less “filler”.
- Most pets accept the food readily due to the outside beef or chicken coating. You will be feeding one-half to one-third less as you do with most commercial brands. (Compare the feeding charts on the label).
- Feeding costs with Premium Foods should be NO more PER MONTH than with the food you are now using, even though you pay more per bag. Remember you feed less amount; and also get more cups in a pound of the product.
- Premium Foods utilize a “FIXED FORMULA”, which means the ingredients don’t change. Most other foods vary the amount of each ingredient, using whatever is the cheapest at the time ingredients are purchased. This often results in diarrhea when a new bag of food is opened. This should not happen with High Quality Premium Foods.
