Introduction
When looking for information on what dog food is best, whether in forums, chat rooms or simply through Google’s search function,there is no shortage of top 10 lists one finds. There are rankings for best organic food or best dry food, best wet food, best grain free dry food, etc. Ultimately, what lies at the heart of this need for information is a desire to know that we are truly providing the best nutrition for our furry friends.
Taking a Step Back
I have already written quite a few articles regarding the downsides of how pet food is rated or regarding the questionable ingredients in many dog foods. You can check those articles for more practical answers to the dilemma we face regarding our dog’s nutritional needs. In this article, I want to explore a philosophical answer to the question of the best dog food. Are you ready for the answer? Here goes, no one really knows what dog food is best and you should stop obsessing about it?
Your Dog’s Amazing Body
In the first place, your dog’s body is an incredible piece of complex biological processes. Your pet food manufacturer doesn’t understand it, neither does your veterinarian, neither does a nutritional dog food “expert” concocting different formulas of “balanced” diets. What we know is so incredibly small, compared to what we don’t know of this living, breathing, powerful friend we know as our dog. Trust me on this.
There’s No Such Thing as Balanced in Nature
Secondly, in nature, there is no such thing as a balanced meal. In the wild, some days there are plenty, some days there is little. But there is no stressing out whether a meal has probiotics, or all the right minerals, or has the right amount of protein. That is the realm of science, which tries to reduce everything down to formulas.
Of course, this makes owners stress over whether they are feeding their pets a balanced diet. And naturally, the “complete” pet food formula by dog food manufacturers relieves this type of feeding anxiety. Let us take care of your dog’s nutrition say the pet food experts. This is a heavy piece of wool they have pulled over our eyes.
What matters most in a dog’s diet is variety and consistency over time, oh and of course, natural ingredients for which you don’t need a chemist degree to decipher.
Deep Down You Already Know What Is Best
Finally, and this is perhaps my most important point, why are you searching for the highest rated dry pet food, or the healthiest dog food, or dog food rankings, when deep down in your heart you know manufactured pet food is not the best option for your pet’s nutritional health?
Why are you feeding your pet the same dry kibble, meal after meal, day after day, year after year, given the pet food industry’s track record and their questionable methods of making the food?
Do you honestly think you will ever get a truthful answer to your question of what is the best pet food when these manufactured concoctions make the top rankings?
Your dog deserves variety, your dog deserves fresh, whole ingredients whose name you can pronounce, your dog deserves less health problems, your dog deserves the very best nutrition you can provide. What dog food is the best? The one you lovingly prepare yourself.
