Dog Food Choices and Breed Diet Recommendations from new website Best Dog Diet
 

Choosing a diet for your dog is one of the most important decisions you can make for their overall wellbeing. BestDogDiet.co.uk has just launched a free information site providing useful advice regarding how to choose the ideal diet for your dog. 
 
PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 04, 2010 – Best Dog Diet has been launched as a free information site to provide dog owners with some understanding of the history of their dog's breed, what foodstuffs the breed would have been exposed to and what dog food choices there are available to feed their dog.

All breeds of dog are thought to have evolved from the grey wolf although there is still debate on when the divergence of domesticated dogs took place. The most common belief is that around 15,000 years ago wolves that expressed less fear of man followed as man began to spread across the globe in more concentrated numbers.

These slightly more domesticated animals bred with one another and were used in a variety of hunting roles. Over time man bred animals with similar attributes to fulfil specific purposes such as herding, hunting, scent, sight, strength, swimming and retrieving. As man developed the land, so the requirements for domesticated animals changed and breeds were developed to fulfil different roles.

The grey wolf’s diet has not changed markedly for thousands of years. The staple diet consists of hoofed mammals supplemented by available vegetation including grasses and fruit. Whilst being a natural predator, the wolf is also a scavenger and has been known to eat its own, however, it will generally pick the easiest option for a meal.

There are many varieties of dog foods available and some are better suited to different types of dogs. The diet chosen for a dog will depend on individual circumstances. Some foods may have more nutritious value but may take longer to prepare or are more expensive and are not suitable for storage. Whilst other dog diets have been developed for convenience.

http://www.BestDogDiet.co.uk recommends dog owners do their own research to identify the best dog diet for their dog. This will naturally involve asking for recommendations from their veterinarian or breeder as well as their local pet store and friends who own dogs. Best Dog Diet provides free information and advice to help dog owners select a diet that meets their needs.

Dietary choice is important for all aspects of a dog’s health including its temperament, appearance and zest for life. There are many dog food options for the owner to consider including dry food, wet food, frozen, freeze died or dehydrated food and fresh, refrigerated or homemade food. These should be assessed taking account of the nutritional value of the dog food and the overall cost and preparation time required.

http://www.BestDogDiet.co.uk researched the history of 18 of the most popular dog breeds and sets out information about the origins of each breed of dog, what it was bred for and what foodstuffs each would have been exposed to in the past.

“We hope BestDogDiet.co.uk will help dog owners make an informed choice when it comes to choosing what kind of food they give to their dog. Every dog is unique and every dog owner has a unique set of circumstances to consider. We urge all dog owners to read the label on their dog food and think about what is likely to be the best dog diet for their pet”
