Beneful Original Dog Food Review

I was married to a veterinarian for quite some time and I have raised dogs for many years.  I now work with a therapy dog and am in the process of starting my own therapy dog group.  I have an ex son-in-law who consults with local veterinarians on many health related issues for dogs, as he is considered an expert in the field.

Dogs have always been carnivorous animals - meat eaters.  The protein in meat is what they need to maintain optimum health.  The nutrition that comes from corn and grain is not what they need at all.  In order to make a feed like this meet a dog's nutritional requirements, they must add many nutrients to the food - most of it man-made rather than natural.

If you buy a dog food that the first ingredient listed is a meat - not a meat by-product - but a meat, then your dog is more apt to get the natural nutrients that he so desprately needs.

The nutrition we give our dogs helps determine their life span as well as, later health as they get older.

For the record...  I have always fed my dogs a dry food with meat listed first - and usually second, as well.  I just had a 21 yr. old poodle put down - not because of illness but because he had gone blind and deaf and began to live in fear as he never adjusted to the loss of sight.  This dog was never sick in 21 yrs.

Yes, I do credit proper nutrition to a large part of his good health.
