What you feed your dog is really SO important for your dog's ultimate health, susceptibility to illness, and longevity.你你的狗饲料真的如此重要的你的狗最终的健康，易感疾病，长寿。

You know, if you really want your dog to be as healthy as s/he can be, you should stop feeding ANY of the widely available commercial dog foods.你知道，如果你真的想要你的狗是健康的他/她可以，你应立即停止喂食任何广泛使用的商业狗的食物。

I'm talking here about the types of dog food commonly found in supermarkets, and even about most of the supposedly superior brands sold in some supermarkets, pet food shops, and even by many vets.我在这里谈论类型的狗食品中常见的超市，甚至对大多数理应优于品牌销售在一些超市，宠物食品商店，甚至许多兽医。

The cheaper the brand, then generally the more full of garbage it is, but even many of the more expensive brands leave much to be desired.廉价的品牌，那么通常更充分的垃圾是，但即使许多更昂贵的品牌有待改进。

What do you think is an ideal diet for your dog?你觉得是一种理想的饮食你的狗？

- plump chickens? -丰满的鸡？
- choice cuts of juicy beef and lamb? -选择削减多汁的牛肉，羊肉？
- maybe a few healthy fresh grains for variety? -也许一些健康的新鲜谷物品种？
- the odd fresh herbs, vegetables and fruit? -古怪的新鲜香草，蔬菜和水果？

You'd be right.你会是正确的。

But how many of the above ingredients do you think go into commercial pet food?但有多少人在上述成分，你认为进入商业宠物食品？

A lot?很多？ Only a little?只有一少？ If you said yes to either of these, you'd be dead wrong.如果你说是给这两个，你死了是错误的。

The average commercial dog food bears NO relation to the above list of choice ingredients, despite what pet food manufacturers display in some of their marketing, and despite what the list of ingredients on the pack or can might tend to indicate.平均商业狗食承担任何有关上述名单的首选原料，尽管宠物食品制造商展示他们的一些营销，尽管名单的成分对包装或可能往往表明。

There is very, very little (if any) of the above ingredients in the average commercial dog food, and by the time it's been overcooked at sustained high temperatures, and sprayed with preservative agents, the resultant "food" can be very harmful to your dog's health and wellbeing indeed.有非常，非常小（如果有的话）上述成分的平均商业狗食，以及它的时间已经overcooked在持续高温天气，并喷洒保鲜剂，由此产生的“食物” ，可以是非常有害的狗的健康和幸福的。

Suffice to say that if you're feeding your dog ANY commercially available dog food, you're exposing your dog to a source of chemically enhanced, overprocessed, garbage, the meat source for which includes diseased carcasses which have been left for up to 5 days before being processed.只想说，如果你喂养你的狗任何商业用途狗食，你就暴露你的狗的来源，化学强化， overprocessed ，垃圾肉来源，其中包括患病的尸体已被左为5前几天正在处理中。

Enough to turn you off for life?够把你就会发现生命？ It was for me.这是我。 As you know, I've always fed my dogs a diet of mainly raw meat and bones.如你所知，我总是喂我的狗的饮食主要是生肉及骨头。 But I like to give them a little treat in the mornings rather than just feed them once a day (which, by the way, IS all a dog NEEDS).但是，我想给他们一个小治疗早上，而不是仅仅饲料他们每天一次（其中的方式，是所有狗需要） 。 I used to give them a handful of dry dog food each morning, sometimes the cheaper supermarket brands, and sometimes the "brand" names which cost 4 or 5 times as much.我曾经给他们几个干狗食每天早晨，有时廉价超市的品牌，有时是“品牌”名称，费用4或5倍。 Now that I know better, I never give my dogs any of that garbage.现在，我更清楚地知道，我从来没有给我的狗任何的垃圾。

I should say that SOME of the expensive pet foods which are readily available ARE better than the cheaper brands.我要说的是，一些昂贵的宠物食品是现成的比便宜的品牌。 BUT, most are still far from an ideal diet for your dog, so query whether the extra money is money well spent.但是，大多数仍远未达到理想的饮食你的狗，以便查询是否额外的钱是钱用得其所。

If the product says it's "with real chicken", did you know that it only needs to contain 3% of chicken?如果说，产品的“与真正的鸡” ，你知道，它不仅需要包含3 ％的鸡肉？ Neither did I.也没有一

If the first item listed is meat or chicken, did you know that this doesn't mean that's the main ingredient?如果列出的第一个项目是肉或鸡，你知道，这并不意味着这是主要成分？ Neither did I.也没有一

Take a close look at the label.仔细看看标签。 It's likely to list a meat first, and then 2, 3, 4 or 5 types of grains.这可能名单肉，然后2 ， 3 ， 4个或5个类型的谷物。 This is a very misleading tactic used by the commercial pet food manufacturers.这是一个非常误导性的战术所使用的商业宠物食品制造商。 Each of the grains individually may be slightly less in quantity than the meat.每一个单独的谷物可能会略少于数量比肉。 But added together?但是，加在一起？ They're probably nearly 2, 3, 4 or 5 times the quantity of the meat ingredient.他们很可能接近2 ， 3 ， 4或5倍量的肉类成分。

After having looked into this issue in a great deal of detail, I'm convinced that the most healthy diet for your dog is mainly fresh meat, with some fresh veges and a little grain thrown in. And this alone is NOT enough.之后考虑这个问题了大量详细的，我相信，最健康的饮食习惯对你的狗主要鲜肉，一些新鲜veges和少量粮食扔英寸，这本身是不够的。 You need to give your dog a vitamin supplement always, for optimal health.你需要给你的狗维生素补充一如既往，为最佳的健康状态。

And for the very best health, there ARE some reputable HEALTHY, wholesome, holistic dog food manufacturers, which really DO provide wonderfully healthy food for our dogs.和最好的健康，也有一些有信誉的健康，有益的，整体的狗食品制造商，它确实提供完美健康食品为我们的狗。
