Natural dog foods are a healthy choice for your dog as long as you pay attention to a few good ideas.
Things to consider: Food freshness, diet supplements, and the dog's age & size.
Fresh Ideas - Natural foods for dogs will usually not contain any preservatives, which mean that they can go bad faster. This is not a problem, however, if you buy smaller amounts more frequently rather than trying to buy all your natural dog products in bulk. Some natural foods for dogs come in individually packaged servings, which give you the best of both worlds. Then you can buy as much as your refrigerator can hold and you will not have to worry as much about the food turning before you get a chance to feed it to your dog.
Variety - Rotate the natural foods you feed your dog for the best chances of her getting complete, optimum nutrition, as opposed to feeding the same food repeatedly endlessly. As a boost, you can also add some pet vitamins and supplements to her diet.
Proper Portions - Just because you are feeding your dog natural dog products, it does not mean you can allow her to binge on them. No matter what you are feeding your dog, always feed her the portions appropriate for her size and age, and be consistent about it. Overeating of any kind can cause a dog a number of health problems, whether she is eating standard commercial dog foods or all-natural foods.
