Dogs
by Carrie Boyko, CEB
As I continue to read various opinions on dog food ingredients, my thoughts have not changed much since my Spring, 2011 Organix series of review posts. Leaving behind the toxic fertilizers, synthetic preservatives, growth hormones, and other ingredients that are included, yet not labeled, on traditional pet food, I'll stick with Organic food for our feeding philosophy. Just one newer idea has grabbed my attention and warrants a try--Grain free food.
Depending on which author you're reading, grains can have a variety of different affects on Fido. It makes complete sense to me that dogs did not evolve by eating grain until after they took up with man as our sidekicks. There does not appear to be much evidence that their bodies have come to need this food source added to their diet. I hope you'll join me as I explore the Grain Free Organix brand and share our experience with you.
I think the one fact that has given rise to my decision to give Grain Free a chance is Tanner's coat. Because he swims almost every day, I have a regimen of coat care tasks to keep it healthy and shiny. Despite my efforts, it still shows signs of his daily splash in the chlorinated pool.
I wish I had the option of changing to a different type of water sanitizer, but that aside, food and food supplements, combined with coat conditioning treatments may be my only choices. So we have begun the journey. Watch for more posts as we continue to see the changes in Tanner and Oliver's energy, output, coat health and more.
Perhaps you'd like to join me in this experiment? Today's post is supplemented with a 12 bag giveaway of Organix food so you can give Grain-free a try along with me. Just like me, you'll need to follow the directions for transition found at this link. If you choose to join me, I do ask that you subscribe to follow my series on this change, and return to share your own experiences as well. If you win in the giveaway below, and participate in the Grain-free trial, I'll make sure another free coupon comes your way to keep you on the straight and narrow path with Organix.
