Diet is probably the single most influential factor affecting a dog’s condition. And also the easiest to get wrong.
I firmly believe that all animals benefit enormously from eating only foods that they have evolved to eat. In doing so they are able to receive everything they need without the risks associated with unsuitable foods, allowing them to stay healthy. This is the underlying principle of natural feeding and natural dog food - stray far from it for long and the animal’s health will inevitably suffer.
Despite this fact, inappropriate ingredients like wheat, soya, maize, food derivatives and by-products continue to form the basis of the majority of complete dog foods because of their low cost, regardless of the problems they are known to cause. Similarly, food derivatives and by-products are used as alternatives to real, whole-ingredients and worse still, chemical additives are used almost universally in complete dog foods in the form of colourings, flavourings, preservatives and artificial vitamins.
This has been the unfortunate state of affairs for over half a century and as a result British vets are seeing more dogs with chronic illnesses than ever before. Even for dog owners in the know, without the time, money and knowledge necessary to prepare a balanced diet by hand, there has simply been no option. Six years ago, however, a group of passionate, natural-minded dog owners, canine nutritionists and holistic vets decided enough was enough and went about creating the UK’s first complete 100% natural dog food. A year later All In One natural dog food was born.
All In One Natural Dog Food
All in One is based on a wholesome home cooked recipe. By combining a unique range of top quality vegetables, herbs and whole grains with human grade meat, The Natural Dog Food Company has been able to ensure that everything a dog needs to stay fit and healthy is present in the raw ingredients, negating the normal need for adding potentially harmful synthetic vitamins and minerals.
Completely hypoallergenic and free from any potentially problematic ingredients, All In One is suitable for even the most sensitive of dogs and can be used as an alternative to many prescription diets. All In One natural dog food adheres strictly to holistic principles at all stages of production and is certified by the British Association of Holistic Nutrition and Medicine. It contains some of the highest levels of meat in the dog food industry and is one of the very few brands that actually uses fresh meat.
If you’re dog is feeding on All In One, I would love to hear how you’re getting on with it. And if you have any questions about your dog’s diet, then do drop me a line; either as a comment to this blog post or click here to Ask The Petsperts a question, which will be answered on blog.
