In a blog I posted towards the end of last year, I stated that We Are What We eat, and therefore Our Dogs Are What They Eat
Another way of looking at this is to say that you only get out of a dog what you put into it.
Dog poop, is a subject we have covered here quite a few times in our illustrious 2 and a half year existence, and I’m not going to get too deep into this here today.
But, we’ve all come face to face (hopefully not literally) with a big mound of dog poo, so big in fact, that as my Dad would say, “you could take shelter behind it”
Is it any wonder, when you see peoples shopping trolleys at the supermarket checkout, loaded up with the cheapest of the cheap dog food, like the example above.
4% Chicken in the Chicken Kibble…What the hell is the other 96% made up of ?
4% Carrot in the Carrot kibble and 4% Peas in the green vegetable kibble…Bloody ‘ell
That’s even before you get onto the colourants etc….
Here’s a snippet from one of the larger supermarket chains in Ireland in relation to the dog food that they stock, that goes out the door by the trolley load….
“We know you want the best for your pet, so we make sure that our suppliers use only the best quality ingredients in our pet food“….eh….4% Chicken in the Chicken Kibble, I don’t think so….
It’s common knowledge amongst us humans that too much processed food in our diets is very bad for us, but yet the majority of the dog owning population in Ireland, couldn’t give a S… when it comes to looking after their dogs nutritional requirements.
So if you REALLY love your dog, get your act together, do your research on what is the best possible food for him or her, you’ll not only be doing your dog a favour, as from now on you’ll be able to bring normal sized poop bags out with you on your dogs walk, instead of the big black bin liners you have had to use in the past.
