Your Shih Tzu will eat about the same food every day. This is why it is so important that the brand of dog food you feed is high in nutrition. The food you feed your Shih Tzu is his or her main source of nutrition and it is vital to a long and healthy life.
You might think that all pet food manufacturers have your dog’s best interests in mind when it comes to formulating their dog food products. This is not always the case. The current pet food regulations allow manufacturers to use ingredients that you would never knowingly feed your Shih Tzu. You would probably be in a state of shock to learn exactly what some pet food manufacturers actually put into their foods. Many pet food manufacturers include by-products like feet, bones and intestines, chemical preservatives like BHA and BHT, and grains like corn, wheat, gluten and soy, that are used as protein sources, but are most often difficult to digest. All these “wrong” kinds of ingredients can put unnecessary stress on your pet’s system and can lead to an unhealthy Shih Tzu as well as shorten the life of your Shih Tzu.
It is important to learn to read food labels on dog foods and to know what those ingredients really are. Especially look out for the ingredients I just mentioned when choosing food for your Shih Tzu. However, it is not even always in knowing how to read the dog food labels and what the ingredients really means for your Shih Tzu.
When trying to make a decision about your Shih Tzu’s nutrition, also look past the label of ingredients to the following important qualities of dog food companies:
Dedication to Excellence: It is not always what a dog food manufacturer leaves out of the food, but about the ingredients put into the food and how the food is made.
Veterinarian Formulated: Is the dog food you are considering formulated by highly respected and nationally recognized veterinarians. Think again before purchasing if the food you are considering is formulated by an “unheard of” veterinarian. You want to rely on veterinarian formulators who are very well known, respected and actually those who are nationally recognized for their contributions to dog nutrition.
Quality and Freshness: Try to find out if the dog food you are considering for your Shih Tzu is prepared with fresh ingredients that will give your Shih Tzu the best quality in nutritional benefits possible. Some dog food manufacturers use the “fast-cook” process to preserve the fresh taste of natural foods. This is an excellent technique to maintain natural flavors and nutritional value. Before you purchase your next bag of dog food inquire as to whether or not the method of cooking was the “fast-cook” process. This is your best bet for the highest quality of nutritional benefits for your Shih Tzu. Does the dog manufacturers use a blend of natural antioxidants to help their food stay fresh and to help your Shih Tzu maintain a healthy immune system? Lastly, find out if the food you want to feed your Shih Tzu is manufactured in small, frequent batches. Stay clear of the manufacturers who produce bags and bags of dog food in large quantities. You want to find a dog food manufacturer who makes their food in small, frequent batches. This helps preserve the quality of nutrition your Shih Tzu eventually gets from their food.
Safety and Quality Control: Don’t rely on the U.S government to regulate your Shih Tzu’s food. Rely on a company that is APHIS-certified to sell pet food in the European market. The European market has much more stringent regulations than the U.S.
