Best Dog Food For Natural Dog HealthBest dog food options include homemade dog food, organic dog food, raw dog food, and of course some frozen raw and dry grain free dog foods such as Orijen dog food.Many of the growing health problems in today’s western pets are related to the poor American diet habits leaking into pets diets.
Too Much Pet Food Profits Go Into Packaging and Advertising Over Quality Ingredients Profit over health is still the most common practice and as a result too many pet food companies are filling their packages with genetically modified soy, wheat, and corn. These are cheap and fattening fillers that dogs and cats would not normally eat in the wild. Finding wheat free dog food can be a challenge but options are growing for the many pets that are sensitive to this common dog food ingredient. Cheap Fillers= Inflammation, Diabetes, Obesity, Allergies, Poor Immune Systems As a result we are seeing more and more cancer, obesity, and diabetes in domesticated pets, just like their owners. Many of these poor diets are leading to a rise in inflammation in the body causing lowered immune systems and leaving many dogs prone to diseases like cancer because they are being overwhelmed with too many toxins. Weak Immune Systems= Inability to Fight Off Environmental Toxins In addition, this also leaves their bodies weaker to fight off the environmental toxins they are being overloaded with in lawn fertilizers, weed killers, and chemical flea and tick repellants. 
Homemade Dog FoodHomemade dog food is one of the best diets you can feed your pet, especially for senior dog health, dogs with cancer, or immune compromised pets. It is by far one of the best ways for a pet to eat, but requires some education and time in order to learn what the right foods are to make up your pets dietary needs.
This diet can be especially helpful in pets with dog skin problems, dog skin allergies, and dog food allergies. Because there are often no grains, raw dog food is usually less irritating to many pets, as this diet mimics what they would naturally eat in the wild. *Caution- Before attempting to feed raw dog food to your pet, it is important to know that some dogs with severely compromised immune systems may not be able to handle exposure to certain possible bacteria in these diets. It is very important to follow proper sanitation and to only feed raw meat if it is eaten immediately!
This can be beneficial for dog skin problems and dog skin allergies because they are free of soy, what, corn, by-products, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
