Dog food: USA vs EUROPE
In Europe, dogs are fed more Canned foods than Dry kibble. Why? In my opinion they don't like having to store large bags of food for Freshness concerns and the fact that most homes are small and quaint that by bringing a large bag home takes up space. Secondly the idea of price, dry kibble is rather pricey, even though that cans do cost more in the long run.They feel that a food coming out of a can is much more fresh than feeding a dog a dry kibble.
The United States is the largest manufacturers of dog food as well as the highest ownership rate of dogs. We tend to live a very hectic lifestyle and we want to simply open up a bag of food and keep it moving. Plus the downside of it all is that we don't like picking up "pudding poop" which is generally associated with Canned Foods. The lack of education to its consumers by the manufacturers down to the retail stores only makes matters worse.
There isn't one (1) food better than another, simply put it comes down to what quality ingredients/source of ingredients is being used to manufacturer the food as well as how your dog responds to the food you opt to feed. Your dog might do well with lets say "Chicken Soup" but your neighbors dog wouldn't. Different breeds, ages, environments and your specific dog can have an impact in the way a dog digest's foods. Just thought ya'll should know.....
Stay tuned i have a dog food break down coming by end of the week.....
