Your Questions About Organic Dog Food Coupons

Would you be able to tell the difference between dog food & liverwurst or duck liver mousse?!?
He he he…i’m wondering how many people are going to be tasting dog food for the first time after reading this…
Washington, May 2 (ANI): People might one day be eating dog food, for a new study has found that it tastes as good as liverwurst or duck liver mousse.
The researchers found that people can’t differentiate in the flavour of dog foods with that of normal human foods.
In the study involving 18 subjects, the research team separately put organic Canned Turkey and Chicken Formula for Puppies/Active Dogs, duck liver mousse, pork liver pete, liverwurst, and spam in a food processor.
Pete is a mixture of minced meat and fat in the form of spreadable paste, generally made from a finely ground or chunky mixture of meats and liver, and often with additional fat, vegetables, herbs, spices or wine.
The resulting product was put into five different bowls and garnished with parsley.
They found that although the volunteers didn’t exactly prefer the dog food, they couldn’t identify it either.
“Only 3 of 18 subjects correctly identified sample C as the dog food,” CBS News quoted the paper as stating.
“Although human beings do not enjoy eating dog food, they are also not able to distinguish its flavour profile from other meat-based products that are intended for human consumption,” the authors added.

I can’t stand the taste of liver so am not gonna worry about it. I did hear a woman on a talk show several years ago say that her drunk husband drank up their grocery money and one night brought home with of his drunk friends from the bowling alley, and wanted her to cook them something to eat. She had a pound of hamburger in the ice box and that was all the meat they had to feed the familyuntil payday a week later, she also had a package of Gainsburgers for dogs (I remember the same time getting a free pack of those with a coupon, they were something new) and she mixed an egg and some chopped onion and seasoning salt and made them into patties and fried them up. They all thought they were great and a couple of them ate 2 a piece.

I really wish people would adopt and not buy puppies, as there are literally hundreds of thousands of unwanted dogs out there, and breeding more puppies causes the suffering of so many dogs (people wouldn’t breed if no one bought the puppies) .
However, since you’ve already done this, I hope in your research you learned that labs can destroy your house and furniture, so if your dog is going to be alone for periods, you have to be careful.
I would adopt the Dog Whisperer’s advice and take your dog for very long walks to tire him or her out before you leave the house. I would also provide lots of nontoxic chew toys. If you only go out for short periods, I would consider a crate and crate training. Please don’t crate your dog for 9 hours at a time, though.
I have seen labs eat furniture, kitchen cupboards, a brick wall, and a back porch. And when I say eat, I mean eat, I don’t mean just a little bit of chewing.
Labs also jump up on people. The easiest way to discourage this behaviour is to be prepared and gently stick your knee out whenever he or she tries to do this. There is no punishment involved, it just prevents the dog from achieving what he’s trying to do.
Third, since labs are high energy dogs, an agility program would be great, and would keep both of you happy while keeping the destructive behaviour to a minimum. Most dogs love and even need jobs, this would be a way to provide him with exercise for his brain and body.
Swimming would be a great way to exercise your dog, too.
If at all possible, don’t feed commercial dog food. I’m not crazy about raw, myself, but a cooked diet of organic meat and vegetables keeps a dog healthy and young.
Supplements like wheat grass, bovine colostrum and natural forms of vitamin C are great too. I just read about a breeder who will only guarantee his dogs’ joints if the dogs are fed raw fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin C and an additional vitamin C supplement made from whole foods (not corn, which most is derived from).
I buy a natural vitamin C powder at iherb.com that I sprinkle on my dogs’ food three times per day. It helped stop my little one’s hip problems. Vitamin C is a powerful anti-inflammatory and helps collagen regenerate.
Coupon code PEY561 will give you $5-$10 off your first order at iherb, they seem to have the lowest prices and free shipping, too.

James asks…
I’m trying to decide between Halo puppy food and Innova…advice?
I am adopting a puppy from a local rescue organization and I want to feed her food that is good for her. I have a $10 off coupon for Halo plus they sell it at petco and I have a 10% off coupon for petco. I was already going to go there to get supplies for the puppy. But my only concern with Halo is it doesn’t have enough meat..(Halo’s first 5 ingredients:Chicken, Whole Dried Eggs, Pea Protein, Oats, Vegetable Broth) whereas I have heard great things about Innova and they have more meat(Innova first 5 ingredients: turkey, chicken, chicken meal, barley, brown rice). Now Innova has more meat, but Halo has a higher protein content (Halo Crude Protein – 30.0% Min, Crude Fat – 20.0% Min, Crude Fiber – 6.5% Max, Moisture – 10.0% Max) (Innova Crude Protein – 28% Min, Crude Fat – 16% Min, Crude Fiber – 2.5% Max, Moisture – 10% Max). I just don’t know which one to choose! I was thinking of trying Halo and seeing how it works out.
If I want to switch foods though how do I go about doing it? Do I gradually work the new food in until it copletely replaces the old food? Any advice would be appreciated! Thank You!
admin answers:
I’d go with Innova out of the two of them. When considering protein content, remember that protein can come from both meat and plant sources. You want protein from meat based sources. I personally prefer completely grain free as I’ve had better results on those foods. Other good foods are Timberwolf Organics, Taste of the Wild, Orijen, Wellness CORE, and Fromm’s.
For switching, exchange about 25% of her regular food with the new food. Do that for a few days and if her stools look good you can give her 50/50. A few more days of good stools and you can go to 75% new food. If everything goes well, give her 100% of the new food. If she seems to be having trouble, go back and do the transition much slower. Some dogs just need a slower change and others can go through it pretty quickly. You’ll find out what is right for your new girl pretty quickly.
Congrats on the new addition to your family!
