When Should I Give My Dog High Fiber Dog Food?

If your dog is suffering from obesity, constipation, or diabetes, you might choose to feed it high protein dog food. However, before switching to a specialised diet like that, I’d advise you to talk it over with your dog’s vet first.

Obesity
A high fiber diet is beneficial when your dog is overweight, as foods which are high in fiber are generally lower in calories. By eating high fiber food, your dog will feel fuller faster and take in kess calories, thus losing weight.

Constipation
If your dog is constipated, temporarily placing it on a high fiber diet will help to get everything working smoothly again.

Diabetes
A diet that is high in fiber goes a long way towards stabilising the blood sugar levels of an animal that has diabetes, thus making the disease easier to manage.

Sources Of Fiber
The easiest source of fiber is to buy an organic high fiber dog food.  Be certain that you choose a high quality brand, as the cheaper dog foods do not contain the nutrients your dog needs, and what nutrients they DO contain, are often of a low quality and obtained from ingredients labelled as unfit for human consumption.

However, be warned that the better quality high fiber dog foods can be quite expensive. If you cannot afford to buy the commercial high fiber dog foods, or cannot find one that you trust, you always have the option of creating your own dog food. Consult with your vet before taking this step, and do some research to find recipes. Don’t try to create your own food without a recipe, as certain foods that humans eat on a daily basis can be toxic for your pet.

Many people think that making your own dog food is a time consuming process and thus assume that they don’t have the time to do it each day, but there are many recipes that yield more than one portion, and you can store the food for a couple of weeks. This means you only have to spend a couple of hours every other weekend preparing your dog’s food.

Foods High In Fiber

Some of the foods that are high in fiber and safe for your pets’ consumption include:
1. Apple and tomato pomace
2. Beet pulp
3. Citrus pulp
4. Oat bran
5. Rice
6. Rice bran
7. Soybean hulls
8. Wheat

Remember that when changing your dog’s food, it is best to do so gradually as a sudden change in diet can be very upsetting on the canine digestive system.

Are “healthy” microwave foods really healthy?

I researched a bit and it seems the main concern is the amount of sodium (also read daily limit is 1500mg). Are they really what they claim to be, healthy? For instance take the brand healthy choice which I occasionally eat for dinner, one entree has these values:

Warning…warning…I’m not a nutritionist. There you know…but I know about some stuff and I’m always eager to offer my expertise.

Like your body only needs 500mg of sodium (a real healthy diet, one with NO prepared/processed food, would have no need for added salt) and the 1500mg limit is just that it is the average of what people eat (yep…talk about water retention) and above that, you start getting serious health problems.

Be aware that the %DV is based on a 2,000 calorie diet so if you eat more or less, you have to adjust all the percentages accordingly. Like if I eat only 1,200 calories, a 10% of something for a 2,000 calorie diet would mean 16.66% for me.

You should know your personal needs which vary by gender, age, physical activity…an older woman would need more calcium…somebody getting in shape and building muscle mass would need more proteins.

Frozen dinners are not healthy but “occasionally”, as you say, they’re okay because you could do worse. Healthy Choice is just a name. You made the healthy choice because you did not choose the box of donuts instead…or worse, like nothing!

You don’t have to necessarily go all “homemade, organic salad” in order to eat healthy…or just to eat well. If you ask me (well, I guess you did!), frozen dinner that you nuke do not taste that good. They’re neither satisfying nor tasty, but still better that a box of donuts!

There’s nothing in your question about taste…so…do you enjoy that stuff? Eating is one of the pleasures of life (and also cooking when you get to it). Don’t miss it just because you have to fill up your stomach somehow.
