Is Gourmet Dog Food Worth the Price?

My parents have always chosen the best of everything for themselves and when they bought their new dog, they only chose the best gourmet dog food. Because the food had a great name and was expensive, they naturally assumed that it would be the best for their dog. They thought it would contain the best ingredients, be the safest, and provide the absolutely best nutrition for their pet.

But, in reality, gourmet dog food is no better than the cheap brands you buy on the grocery shelves. They may be made with slightly different ingredients, or they may claim to be made from ingredients that are more naturally grown or raised, but they contain the same preservatives and chemicals that most of the other brands do. In addition, they are missing some of the very important nutrition that your animal needs.

No gourmet dog food on the market today actually does contain all the nutritional value that a dog needs to remain healthy and have a long life. The labels may say that they do, but commercially-produced dog food is lacking in key nutrients, and because of that, they lead to cancer and early death in far too many animals these days.
