Dr. Greg on Feeding Your Dog Healthy Ingredients and Snacks

by admin on June 16, 2010


dogdishdiet.com Most dogs with allergies, ear and skin problems, and stomach and bowel problems will improve when their food and snacks are composed of healthful ingredients. Allergenic ingredients in many commercial foods and snacks affect many dogs.

Thanks for the comment, yes I have found that cooked thick bones can splinter. I am sticking to frozen chicken thighs, smoked pork hocks, and raw beef knuckle bones to keep my dogs teeth clean

It was a cooked ham thigh bone. I didn’t think the little nipper could bite into something that big so I thought it would be safe to let the two dogs lick the bone for a bit. Anyway, a human emergency room visit came up and I forgot the bone. I found it on the floor, in shards. My boy dog didn’t get into it but my little girl sure did. What weekend that was… all is fine now but I stick to dog kibbles and hard treats now. Dental cleanings when I can corner them…

What kind of bone caused the problem? Ihaven’t had problems with raw chicken thigh bones or smoked pork bones. I have treated steak bone problems and bbq chicken

Thank you Dr. Greg for such wonderful advice about dog food and healthy snacks! My little, spoiled dogs need to be on a diet (er, well, maybe their human should, too) so we are going to “share” a meal or two. Except, I’ll eat cooked chicken. Oh, one thing, though… little dogs shouldn’t eat bones as my dog ended up with a EXPENSIVE stomach surgery from ingesting a bone splinter. Oh, and you do a GREAT job on camera! Thanks again!

Thanks,
Can any one type of processed food provide all the ingredients in the amounts needed for each and every individual for optimum health?
I realized that my nutrition courses in veterinary school were about physiology and kibble. Most vets are brainwashed by instructors teaching kibble “dogma”
I am in recovery and have gone “native”

Great! Thanks… it’s refreshing to hear some common sense about feeding dogs. Of course fresh whole foods are healthier than the meat by products and (largely) corn meal found in most commercial foods! Nice to hear it from a professional!
