DESCRIPTION:
Do you really know what you are feeding your dog? Advertisers market food as Complete and Balanced, but many pet foods provide only minimal nutrition for your dog to survive.
Pet foods may even contain some of the following ingredients:
And you may be surprised at what brands may contain these ingredients!
Low quality, highly processed diets take their toll on your dogs vitality and longevity. As a result of many commercial pet foods, dogs commonly show symptoms like: itchy skin, weepy eyes, hot spots, recurring diarrhea, obesity, chronic ear infections and voluminous, offensive stool. Those dogs that do not show symptoms outwardly pay the price later in life as their internal organs suffer from the burden of unnatural, indigestible ingredients.
In this seminar you will learn about different kinds of foods, their ingredients and how to read the labels to determine whether a food is good for your pet. You will be equipped to make confident choices for your dogs diet to help ensure they live a long and healthy life!
