Grain Free Small Breed Dog Food

Grain Free Small Breed Dog Food, Fad or Science? The rise in popularity of Grain Free Dog Food is clear but the scientific evidence for whether “grain free” is any better or worse for your dog is still out for debate. There are main food companies who will parade studies suggesting that their food is better than others however should you look into the details of these studies then the reality is, there is little… shall we say, un-bias or truly independent evidence.

There are six basic nutrients which dogs need Protein, Fat, Carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals.

Historically small breed dogs were cunning and intelligent hunters and wasted nothing of the spoils. When considering nutrition small breed dogs still have a lot in common with their ancestors. When choosing a pet food, it is important to meet their big nutritional needs. Paws Pet Food has a specifically designed range of Small Breed Dog Food which can meet the needs of your little loved one.

My small breed seems to eat more than my larger breed dog

As strange as it sounds there is actually something in this. Smaller breeds do need to eat kilogram to kilogram more calories than larger breeds. This is because they have a much higher metabolic rate. Basically, they burn through energy much quicker. Lets’ be honest, ever since a Springer Spaniel out on a walk? This can make it difficult for smaller dogs to consume enough nutrients given their smaller stature, especially if they are on low quality dog food.

Does my dog need smaller kibble?

Let’s be frank… tiny mouths take tiny bites and although they can chip away at large meals, the easier you make it for them the better. Paws Pet Food has a small bite kibble which is ideal for dogs small in stature but large in attitude.

So what is it we do know… and what can we trust?

We know that some dogs have allergies and some of those are to common grains such as Corn and Wheat. Food allergies are very rare however feeding them a grain free diet could be best. The Royal Veterinary College and has some brilliant advice on assessing the symptoms of allergies however like always if you think your pet is suffering from a allergy then please consult with your loved ones personal vet as they will be able to advise you best.

Paws Pet Food’s range of dog foods can assist with most common hypoallergic needs such as; gluten, diary, soya and grain. Paws Pet Food’s Grain Free Range uses Sweet Potato which is an amazing alternative of to grains and is a complex carbohydrate, high in a range of B Vitamins.

Why?

Most people who tell us that grain is bad for our dogs often suggest that the natural predecessor for our dogs are wolves who are carnivorous (only eat meat) and therefore suggest a “paleo,” approach to feeding dogs.

There is evidence that this is not true and according to ScienceMag most common breeds of dogs have between 4 and 30 different genes for amylase, a protein which starts to break down starch common in most grains. The study did highlight that certain breeds such as Sledge Dogs were exceptions and didn’t have these genes so if you have a specific breed please speak with your breeder to see if they have any specific needs. The UK Kennel Club can assist with advice if your breeder can’t but again we recommend you speak with you pets vet for more specific knowledge.

We think that it is important to remember although we have domesticated out pets, their organs such as pancreases have evolved some way but not sufficiently to efficiently digest plant material as a source of high-quality protein. This all suggests that a balanced diet is highly important to our dogs and a mixture of meat and vegetables is the right way to go.

The Technical Bit…

For those who want to go technical about it, studies show that most mammals require 22 different alpha amino acids which they need for various bodily functions or activities. Dogs can naturally produce 12 of these and therefore require the other 10 through there diet;

What about a raw diet?

Many people are currently raving about ‘Raw Diet,’ feeding for dog and cats. We need see the difference between “Raw Diet” and “Paleo Diet.” We believe, “Dogs can’t grow on meat alone.” They need an appropriate combination of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and lots and lots more.

Paws Pet Food has three different ranges of dog food our Grain Free Range of dog food uses Sweet Potato which is a high protein alternative to grains and introduces an excellent balance of nutrients and minerals for those dogs who has an allergy or intolerance to wheat or rice grain. The Naturals Range of dog food, each recipe uses a different set of natural hypoallergenic ingredients to help those dogs with Wheat, Diary, Gluten and Soya intolerances. Finally, the Premium Range uses high quality ingredients to ensure your dog gets all the vitamins and minerals they deserve.

The quality of ingredients is so important

One argument in relation to going Grain Free is that some poor-quality pet foods used low grade grain which offered no nutritional value and merely ‘bulked out the food,’ to make the animal feel full and cost less in ingredients. The source of the ingredients you are feeding your dog are incredibly important. As such we try to use as much high-quality natural ingredients and often with no additives. Our manufacturing partners are registered with the Pet Food Manufacturers Association (PFMA) which governs over 90% of the pet food manufacturers and has strict codes of practice.

Reading food pet labels and knowing what to look for is a good start and here at Paws Pet Food we have built our knowledge from experience and clearly display all ingredients and nutritional information for each of our products online for you to easily see what your dog is eating.
