What is for Dinner Tonight? Per “The Dog”

by Joanne Gallagher

Does your dog get tired of eating the same dry dog food every meal? Sometimes my dog Pebbles stands and stares at her dish of food. Does she think if she stares at it long enough it will turn into filet mignon or is she just thinking I guess this is it, the same dry food night after night?

A dog food manufacturer, Rotations realized that dogs get bored eating the same dry dog food morning and night. When you purchase a box of ROTATIONS Pet Food there are three separate bags, each containing a different lean meat meal. Lamb and cranberries one night; and chicken and blueberries the next. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and no cookbooks necessary!ROTATIONS Pet Food also has a of meal varieties for senior dogs which is fortified with glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and vitamin C to promote joint care and boost immunity. Older dogs don’t exercise like they did in their youth; therefore need to reduce their calorie intake to prevent gaining too much weight. The Senior blend also includes supplements like glucosamine to prevent arthritis.Diabetes also affects dogs and requires special care to keep glucose levels in an appropriate range. High fiber diets are recommended for diabetic dogs. The added fiber slows the digestion of carbohydrates and regulates breaking down the carbs.The Old Dog Cookie Company also makes Arthritic Relief Dog Cookies. Ingredients like alfalfa and cod liver oil reduce the discomforts of arthritis. Many aging dogs and large breed dogs like the Great Dane, Golden Retriever, Irish Wolfhound and Akita can suffer from arthritis. Arthritis symptoms may increase with age or the joint pain, inflammation and stiffness may develop during old age.In addition to wheat, corn and soy, dogs can also be allergic to proteins. Chicken and beef are frequent causes of protein allergies. In the past Veterinarians recommended serving lamb dog food, now fish, duck and rabbit are popular non allergen protein vet choices. Rice, potatoes and yams are recommended carbohydrate choices for dogs with grain allergies.Overweight dogs need to be on a special diet. If a dog is eating table scraps too may dog treats, and not getting enough exercise they will become overweight. This happens frequently when a dog is in a crate during the day and then spoiled all evening with love and food.Diet, exercise and sleep are the essential components of living well. Healthy dog food and nutritional dog treats formulated for your pet’s needs will keep their mind and bodies in fit condition.
