Feeding Your Japanese Chin
THE very most important decision you make
regarding your Chin, may very well be...what to feed him.
What you feed him will determine his
health, the condition of his coat, his teeth, his energy, his
happiness, and even how long he will live!
Don't be cheap on this one. Chins do not
eat a large amount of food. It's very important that what he does
eat, includes the ingredients he needs to thrive. Good dog food costs
more, but it will save you money in the long run.
Most grocery store dog food is made with
4D meat (dead, dying, diseased, disabled). Other ingredients include,
giant vats of rancid restaurant grease, animals that your vet has
'put to sleep', rancid grains , road kill, and worse! After this mess
has been extruded, they must spray the food with flavoring to make an
otherwise distasteful product palatable! Then it is all preserved
with chemicals such as ethoxyquin (a chemical that in 1997 the FDA's
Center for Veterinary medicine requested that manufactures
voluntarily
reduce the maximum level by HALF). This is only a very BRIEF
description of what some companies put in their pet food.
Researching pet food can be difficult.
There is lots of information to wade through.
PLEASE, do check out a few of the links I
have provided...or do your own research.
It's an important
decision!
READ THE LABEL
LOOK FOR foods that are baked or
dehydrated, not extruded. Look for ingredients like fruit and
vegetables, real meat, probiotics, barley, and oats. Try to find one
that has 2 meats in the first 3 ingredients.
STEER AWAY from by-products, non-specific meat
sources, mill run grain, corn, soy, salt, BHA, BHT and
Ethoxyquin.
