Introduction: The Hudden Dangers in Dog Food
Ma ke ʻano he mea mālama holoholona, makemake mākou e hōʻoia i ko mākou mau hoa huluhulu ke olakino a hānai maikaʻi ʻia. Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa i kekahi mau meaʻai ʻīlio kālepa nā mea ʻino i hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ko lākou olakino. Hoʻohui pinepine ʻia kēia mau mea e hoʻonui ai i ka ʻono, hoʻonui i ke ola o ka papa, a i ʻole e hōʻemi i nā kumukūʻai hana. He mea nui i ka poʻe mālama holoholona ke hoʻomaopopo i kēia mau meaʻai a me ko lākou mau pilikia olakino.
Nā mea hoʻomalu kūlohelohe: BHA, BHT, a me Ethoxyquin
Hoʻohui pinepine ʻia nā mea hoʻomalu kūlohelohe e like me BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), a me ka ethoxyquin i ka meaʻai ʻīlio e pale ai i ka pōʻino a hoʻolōʻihi i ke ola o ka papa. Eia naʻe, ua pili kēia mau mea mālama i ka maʻi kanesa a me nā pilikia olakino ʻē aʻe i nā ʻīlio. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pale ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻīlio i loaʻa i kēia mau mea mālama a koho i nā mea mālama kūlohelohe e like me ka huaora E a me ka rosemary extract.
Nā mea hoʻonui i nā mea ʻala kemika: MSG a me Hydrolyzed Protein
Hoʻohui pinepine ʻia ka monosodium glutamate (MSG) a me ka protein hydrolyzed i ka ʻai ʻīlio e hoʻonui ai i ka ʻono. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i kēia mau mea hoʻonani kemika ke hoʻoulu i nā hopena ʻino i nā ʻīlio, e like me ka luaʻi ʻana, ka maʻi paʻi, a me ka hoʻomaha ʻole. Hiki i kekahi mau mea hana meaʻai ʻīlio ke hoʻopaʻa inoa iā MSG ma lalo o nā inoa like ʻole, e like me ka "yeast extract" a i ʻole "hydrolyzed vegetable protein." He mea nui e heluhelu pono i nā lepili a pale i ka ʻai ʻīlio i loaʻa kēia mau meaʻai. E koho i ka meaʻai ʻīlio me nā mea hoʻonani ʻono maoli e like me ka ʻiʻo maoli a i ʻole ka hupa huaʻai.
Nā mea ʻono hoʻopaʻapaʻa: Xylitol a me Propylene Glycol
ʻO Xylitol a me propylene glycol nā mea ʻono hoʻopaʻapaʻa i hoʻohui ʻia i kekahi manawa i ka ʻai ʻīlio. He mea ʻawaʻawa ʻo Xylitol i nā ʻīlio a hiki ke hoʻokuʻu koke i ka insulin, e alakaʻi ana i ka hypoglycemia (ke koko koko haʻahaʻa), ka hopu ʻana, a me ka hāʻule ʻole o ka ate. ʻO ka propylene glycol, ʻoiai i ʻike ʻia he palekana e ka FDA, hiki ke hoʻoulu i ka anemia a me nā pilikia neurological i nā ʻīlio. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pale ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻīlio i loaʻa kēia mau mea ʻono a koho i nā mea ʻono maoli e like me nā huaʻai a i ʻole nā mea kanu.
Nā mea hoʻopiha maikaʻi ʻole: Corn, Soy, and Wheat Gluten
Hoʻohana mau ʻia ʻo kānana, soy, a me ka palaoa gluten i mea hoʻopiha i ka ʻai ʻīlio. Eia nō naʻe, paʻakikī kēia mau meaʻai i nā ʻīlio e ʻeli a hiki ke hoʻoulu i nā hopena maʻi. Hāʻawi lākou i ka waiwai meaʻai liʻiliʻi a hiki ke kōkua i ka momona o nā ʻīlio. Akā, e ʻimi i ka meaʻai ʻīlio me nā kumu protein kiʻekiʻe e like me ka ʻiʻo maoli, ka iʻa, a i ʻole nā hua manu.
Nā mea hoʻohui ʻawaʻawa: Carrageenan a me nā meaʻai
ʻO Carrageenan kahi mea mānoanoa i hoʻohui ʻia i kekahi manawa i ka ʻai ʻīlio. Eia nō naʻe, ua hoʻopili ʻia ia i ka mumū o ka ʻōpū a me ka maʻi kanesa i nā ʻīlio. Hoʻohui pinepine ʻia nā mea ʻai meaʻai, e like me Red 40 a me Yellow 5, i ka meaʻai ʻīlio e hoʻonui ai i ke kala. Eia nō naʻe, ua pili kēia mau kala i ka maʻi maʻi a me nā pilikia pili i nā ʻīlio. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pale ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻīlio i loaʻa kēia mau mea hoʻohui a koho i nā mea kūlohelohe.
Nā Minerale Poino: Hao, Zinc, a me Copper
ʻO ka hao, ka zinc, a me ke keleawe he mau minela pono no nā ʻīlio. Eia naʻe, hiki i ka nui o kēia mau mineral ke lilo i mea ʻawaʻawa a hoʻopilikia i ke olakino e like me ka luaʻi ʻana, ka maʻi maʻi, a me ka pōʻino o ke ake. He mea nui e koho i ka meaʻai ʻīlio me nā pae kaulike o nā minerala a pale i ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā huaora a i ʻole nā minerala.
Nā momona ʻino: Ka momona holoholona a me ka momona
Hoʻohui pinepine ʻia ka momona holoholona a me ka tallow i ka ʻai ʻīlio e hoʻonui ai i ka ʻono. Eia nō naʻe, hiki ke kiʻekiʻe kēia mau momona i nā momona saturated a trans, hiki ke kōkua i ka momona a me ka maʻi puʻuwai i nā ʻīlio. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ke koho ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻīlio me nā momona olakino e like me ka omega-3 fatty acids mai ka iʻa a i ʻole ka ʻaila flaxseed.
Nā Punawai ʻIʻo ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia: Nā huahana a me ka meaʻai
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā huaʻai a me ka meaʻai ma ke ʻano he kumu protein i ka ʻai ʻīlio. Eia nō naʻe, hiki ke loaʻa kēia mau meaʻai mai nā kumu ʻike ʻole a loaʻa paha ka ʻiʻo haʻahaʻa a i ʻole ka ʻiʻo haumia. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi e koho i ka meaʻai ʻīlio me nā kumu ʻiʻo i kapa ʻia e like me ka moa, pipi, a hipa paha.
Palekana maikaʻi ʻole: ʻiʻo haʻahaʻa a me ka protein mea kanu
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka ʻiʻo haʻahaʻa a me ka mea kanu e like me ka soy a me ka palaoa gluten i nā kumu protein i ka ʻai ʻīlio. Eia nō naʻe, he haʻahaʻa kēia mau kumu a hiki ke paʻakikī i nā ʻīlio ke ʻeli. Hāʻawi pū lākou i ka waiwai meaʻai liʻiliʻi. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka koho ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻīlio me nā kumu protein kiʻekiʻe e like me ka ʻiʻo maoli a i ʻole ka iʻa.
Nā mea allergenic: moa, pipi, a me ka waiu
ʻO ka moa, ka pipi, a me ka waiu ka mea maʻamau no nā ʻīlio. He mea nui e makaʻala i ka ʻai ʻana o kāu ʻīlio a koho i ka meaʻai ʻīlio me ka ʻole o nā mea allergenic. E ʻimi i ka meaʻai ʻīlio hypoallergenic me nā kumu protein hou e like me ka ʻiʻo, ʻiʻo, a i ʻole kangaroo.
Ka Hopena: Ke koho ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻīlio palekana a me ka meaʻai
I ka hopena, he mea nui e koho i ka meaʻai ʻīlio palekana a momona no kāu hoa huluhulu. E hōʻalo i ka ʻai ʻīlio me nā mea ʻino e like me nā preservatives artificial, nā mea hoʻonani kemika, nā mea ʻono hoʻopaʻapaʻa, nā mea hoʻopihapiha maikaʻi ʻole, nā mea hoʻohui ʻawaʻawa, nā minela pōʻino, nā momona ʻino, nā kumu ʻiʻo ʻike ʻole, nā protein maikaʻi ʻole, a me nā mea allergenic. E koho i ka meaʻai ʻīlio me nā kumu protein kiʻekiʻe, nā mea mālama kūlohelohe, a me nā mea hoʻonui ʻono maoli. E heluhelu mau i nā lepili me ke akahele a e kūkākūkā me kāu kauka holoholona inā he nīnau a hopohopo paha kāu. Ma ke koho ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻīlio palekana a me ka meaʻai, hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoia i kou hoa huluhulu ke ola olakino a hauʻoli.
