Best Dog Food for your Mini Schnauzer

In order for you to choose the best dog food for your Mini Schnauzer, you need to read and understand the dog food label and its list of ingredients.

Reading the label of your Miniature Schnauzer's dog food can be a very confusing and daunting task to the average dog owner who just wants to...

'choose the healthiest dog food for his pet'.

Most people have no idea what the dog food ingredients are, much less if the ingredients are safe. They just want to feed their Miniature Schnauzers the best dog food possible. They trust in the pet food manufacturers to know what they are doing and assume these manufacturers are doing what is best for their pets. This isn't always the case. Remember the pet food recall of 2007?

To help you better understand the information on your Miniature Schnauzer's dog food, here's my list of do's & don'ts when it comes to your Miniature Schnauzer's dog food. It's the easiest way for me to help you decipher it all out.

Dog Food Ingredients ~ The Do's & Don'ts


Learn to READ THE LABEL


You will be able to eliminate quite a few bad dog foods once you start reading their labels. It’s amazing to see what goes in some of the commercial brands of dog food.

It's absolutely repulsive and unthinkable to me, that these are the same companies (who are suppose to have our pet's best interests in mind) and yet they add such disgusting and harmful things to our loving pet's food supply! Why? For big money $$$.

Don't fall for the cutesy commercials and testimonials. You must be proactive when deciding the best dog food for your Miniature Schnauzer. Do your homework and your own research. See for yourself and then decide. Remember the thousands of pets that died beginning in 2007 from tainted dog foods coming from these manufacturers? These manufacturers were adding melamine to pet food. Melamine is a chemical used to make plastic and fertilizers. It is not allowed in human or pet food. Can you believe this?

YUCK!

The best dog foods will not use these type of ingredients

And the old saying: "You get what you pay for!" definitely rings true when it comes to your Miniature Schnauzer's dog food. Cheaper pet foods offer lower quality ingredients (corn, wheat, soy, generic protein sources, chemical preservatives, artificial additives, etc..) which in the long run, contribute to dog health problems, which then lead to expensive vet visits!

Read the dog food label. It's the best way to determine the food's quality.


dog health tip: Always make sure to check the expiration date on the package of food you're purchasing for your Miniature Schnauzer.

Look for a quality dog food that conforms to AAFCO (Association of American Fed Control Officials) standards. Also, the best dog food comes from reputable companies, who provide their phone number and/or website on their labels so you can get further information or call if you have questions.

How to determine the best dog food for your Miniature Schnauzer

Dog Food Ingredients: The Do's & Don'ts


  • Your Miniature Schnauzer’s food should have a good source of animal protein – chicken, beef, fish lamb turkey. NOT animal by-products.

  • Carbohydrates in their whole form – ie. oatmeal NOT oat hulls.

  • Fats from specified animals – ie. chicken fat NOT poultry fat.

  • Oils - Salmon oil is better than flaxseed or canola - NOT vegetable oil.

  • Avoid sugars

  • NO chemicals or dyes

  • Natural preservatives only, like Vitamin E - NOT bad chemical preservatives like BHA, BHT, Ethoxyquin, propylene glycol, propyl gallate, gallic acid, propyl ester and menadione (a synthetic form of Vitamin k). These chemicals are suspect in causes of liver disease and cancers.

  • Also make sure there is NO wheat gluten.

dog health tip: When changing your Miniature Schnauzer’s food, take it slowly. Your Miniature Schnauzer's digestive system needs time to adapt to the new foods. Otherwise, a quick change in your dog's diet can lead to intestinal upset.



And always make sure to provide your Miniature Schnauzer a fresh supply of water daily.
