The Dog Bowl Pet Supply and BARF Raw Food Blog

When looking at what people spend their hard earned money they want to know they are getting something good right?

Well how do you really know?

Real food? What could be better.... Ummm NOTHING! Not even another vet bill is going to fix a lifestyle problem.

Think about it! If you had a car that used gas, but you put diesel in the tank wouldn't it end up with problems? Not to mention the mechanic bills! But the real question is: Do you continue to bring your diesel filled, gas needing car to the same mechanic? Of course the mechanic is going to preform a "fix" for the problem, but he is also going to recommend that you bring it back in for a "check up". And of course we all know - take your money again for the service because you don't know any better!

Long story short we want you, the consumer to have the right information. So you can make good decisions with your money, your time, not to mention your dog or cat (or car's) health!

After all your pet is worth the research and the best, informed decisions possible; after all it does concern their livelihood & we all know how much we love them, especially when they are healthy.

We had a funny thought while at the grocery store & thought we would share it with you.... As we walked down the chip & cereal isle we wondered.... Would you think that any number of these crunchy items as a tooth cleaner? Of course not! That would be outrageous!

We don't eat crackers or cereal and think "my mouth is so clean"; in fact, consuming dry crunchy crackers results in anything but clean - a sticky pasty mess in our mouth is more like it. Oh and REALLY thirsty to say the least! (Try it out for yourself and see!)

So why OH why do we as consumers "buy" into the crunchy dog or cat food as cleaning agent for teeth? Aw... the power of marketing - the ole' give them a crunch to clean marketing slogan.

As humans we CAN move our bottom jaw left and right in order to chew, but our cat & dog's anatomy is up & down (ONLY). Yes ladies and gentlemen our dogs and cats both consume their food in a pull and tear motion, there is NO chewing.

Just a little marketing "food for thought"!

“NO WONDER THEY CALL ME A BITCH” by ANN HODGMAN

Ann Hodgman is a food critic for Eating Well magazine. Besides playing goalie on a women's hockey team, she is the author of more than forty children's books, including My Babysitter Is a Vampire, and several cook­books. For reasons soon to be apparent, however, the following "taste­less" essay did not appear in Hodgman's food column, "Sweet and Sour," but in the satiric magazine Spy, for which Hodgman was a contributing editor. A spoof on taste testing, it takes a blue ribbon for disgusting description that appeals to the grosser senses.
______________________________________________________________________________

I've always wondered about dog food. Is a Gaines-burger really like a hamburger? Can you fry it? Does dog food "cheese" taste like real cheese? Does Gravy Train actually make gravy in the dog's bowl, or is that brown liquid just dissolved crumbs? And exactly what are by­products?
Having spent the better part of a week eating dog food, I'm sorry to say that I now know the answers to these questions. While my dachs­hund, Shortie, watched in agonies of yearning, I gagged my way through can after can of stinky, white-flecked mush and bag after bag of stinky, fat-drenched nuggets. And now I understand exactly why Shortie's breath is so bad.

Of course, Gaines-burgers are neither mush nor nuggets. They are, rather, a miracle of beauty and packaging-or at least that's what I thought when I was little. I used to beg my mother to get them for our dogs, but she always said they were too expensive. When I finally bought a box of cheese—flavored Gaines-burgers-after twenty years of longing—I felt deliciously wicked.

"Dogs love real beef," the back of the box proclaimed proudly. "That's why Gaines—burgers is the only beef burger for dogs with real beef and no meat by-products!" The copy was accurate: meat by­products did not appear in the list of ingredients. Poultry by-products did, though—right there next to preserved animal fat.

One Purina spokesman told me that poultry by-products consist of necks, intestines, undeveloped eggs and other "carcass remnants," but not feathers, heads, or feet. When I told him 1'd been eating dog food, he said, "Oh, you're kidding! Oh, no!" (I came to share his alarm when, weeks later, a second Purina spokesman said that Gaines-burgers do con­tain poultry heads and feet-but not undeveloped eggs.)

Up close my Gaines-burger didn't much resemble chopped beef. Rather, it looked-and felt-like a single long, extruded piece of redness that had been chopped into segments and formed into a patty. You could make one at home if you had a Play-Doh Fun Factory.

I turned on the skillet. While I waited for it to heat up I pulled out a shred of cheese-colored material and palpated it. Again, like Play-Doh, it was quite malleable. I made a little cheese bird out of it; then I counted to three and ate the bird.

There was a horrifying rush of cheddar taste, followed immediately by the dull tang of soybean flour-the main ingredient in Gaines­burgers. Next I tried a piece of red extrusion. The main difference between the meat-flavored and cheese-flavored extrusions is one of tex­ture. The "cheese" chews like fresh Play-Doh, whereas the "meat" chews like Play-Doh that's been sitting out on a rug for a couple of hours.

Frying only turned the Gaines-burger black. There was no melting, no sizzling, no warm meat smells. A cherished childhood illusion was gone. I flipped the patty into the sink, where it immediately began leaking rivulets of red dye.

As alarming as the Gaines-burgers were, their soy meal began to seem like an old friend when the time came to try some canned dog foods. I decided to try the Cycle foods first. When I opened them, I thought about how rarely I use can openers these days, and I was suddenly visited by a long-forgotten sensation of can-opener distaste. This is the kind of unsavory place can openers spend their time when you're not watching! Every time you open a can of, say, Italian plum tomatoes, you infect them with invisible particles of by-product.

I had been expecting to see the usual homogeneous scrapple inside, but each can of Cycle was packed with smooth, round, oily nuggets. As if someone at Gaines had been tipped off that a human would be tasting the stuff, the four Cycles really were different from one another. Cycle­1, for puppies, is wet and soyish. Cycle-2, for adults, glistens nastily with fat, but it's passably edible-a lot like some canned Swedish meatballs I once got in a Care package at college. Cycle-3, the "lite" one, for fatties, had no specific flavor; it just tasted like dog food. But at least it didn't make me fat.

Cycle-4, for senior dogs, had the smallest nuggets. Maybe old dogs can't open their mouths as wide. This kind was far sweeter than the other three Cycles-almost like baked beans. It was also the only one to contain "dried beef digest," a mysterious substance that the Purina spokesman defined as "enzymes" and my dictionary defined as "the products of digestion."

Next on the menu was a can of Kal Kan Pedigree with Chunky Chicken. Chunky chicken? There were chunks in the can, certainly-big, purplish-brown chunks. I forked one chunk out (by now I was becoming more callous) and found that while it had no discernible chicken flavor, it wasn't bad except for its texture-like meat loaf with ground-up chicken bones.

In the world of canned dog food, a smooth consistency is a sign of low quality-lots of cereal. A lumpy, frightening, bloody, stringy horror is a sign of high quality-lots of meat. Nowhere in the world of wet dog foods was this demonstrated better than in the fanciest I tried-Kal Kan's Pedigree Select Dinners. These came not in a can but in a tiny foil packet with a picture of an imperious Yorkie. When I pulled open the container, juice spurted all over my hand, and the first chunk I speared was trailing a long gray vein. I shrieked and went instead for a plain chunk, which I was able to swallow only after taking a break to read some suddenly fascinating office equipment catalogues. Once again, though, it tasted no more alarming than, say, canned hash.
Still, how pleasant it was to turn to dry dog food! Gravy Train was the first I tried, and I'm happy to report that it really does make a "thick, rich, real beef gravy" when you mix it with water. Thick and rich, any­way. Except for a lingering rancid-fat flavor, the gravy wasn't beefy, but since it tasted primarily like tap water, it wasn't nauseating either.

My poor dachshund just gets plain old Purina Dog Chow, but Pur­ina also makes a dry food called Butcher's Blend that comes in Beef, Bacon & Chicken flavor. Here we see dog food's arcane semiotics at its best: a red triangle with a T stamped into it is -supposed to suggest beef; a tan curl, chicken; and a brown S, a piece of bacon. Only dogs under­stand these messages. But Butcher's Blend does have an endearing slogan: "Great Meaty Tastes-without bothering the Butcher!" You know, I wanted to buy some meat, but I just couldn't bring myself to bother the butcher. . .

Purina O.N.E. ("Optimum Nutritional Effectiveness") is targeted at people who are unlikely ever to worry about bothering a tradesperson. "We chose chicken as a primary ingredient in Purina O.N.E. for several reasonings," the long, long essay on the back of the bag announces. Chief among these reasonings, I'd guess, is the fact that chicken appeals to people who are-you know-like us. Although our dogs do nothing but spend eighteen-hour days alone in the apartment, we still want them to be premium dogs. We want them to cut down on red meat, too. We also want dog food that comes in a bag with an attractive design, a subtle typeface, and no kitschy pictures of slobbering golden retrievers.

Besides that, we want a list of the Nutritional Benefits of our dog food-and we get it on O.N.E. One thing I especially like about this list is its constant references to a dog's "hair coat," as in "Beef tallow is good for the dog's skin and hair coat." (On the other hand, beef tallow merely provides palatability, while the dried beef digest in Cycle provides pal­atability enhancement.)
I hate to say it, but O.N.E. was pretty palatable. Maybe that's because it has about 100 percent more fat than, say, Butcher's Blend. Or maybe I'd been duped by the packaging; that's been known to happen before.

As with people food, dog snacks taste much better than dog meals. They're better looking too. Take Milk-Bone Flavor Snacks. The loving­hands-at-home prose describing each flavor is colorful; the w_iters prac­tically choke on their own exuberance. Of bacon they say, "It's so good, your dog will think it's hot off the frying pan." Of liver: "The only taste your dog wants more than liver-is even more liver!" Of poultry: "All those farm fresh flavors deliciously mixed in one biscuit. Your dog will bark with delight!" And of vegetable: "Gardens of taste! Specially blended to give your dog that vegetable flavor he wants-but can rarely get!”

Well, I may be a sucker, but advertising this emphatic just doesn't convince me. I lined up all seven flavors of Milk-Bone Flavor Snacks on the floor. Unless my dog's palate is a lot more sensitive than mine-and considering that she steals dirty diapers out of the trash and eats them, I'm loath to think it is-she doesn't detect any more difference in the seven flavors than I did when I tried them.

I much preferred Bonz, the hard-baked, bone-shaped snack stuffed with simulated marrow. I liked the bone part, that is; it tasted almost exactly like the cornmeal it was made of. The mock marrow inside was a bit more problematic: in addition to looking like the sludge that collects in the treads of my running shoes, it was bursting with tiny hairs.

I'm sure you have a few dog food questions of your own. To save us time, I've answered them in advance.

Q. Are those little cans of Mighty Dog actually branded with the siz­zling word BEEF, the way they show in the commercials?

A. You should know by now that that kind of thing never happens.

Q. Does chicken-flavored dog food taste like chicken-flavored cat food?

A. To my surprise, chicken cat food was actually a little better­
more chickeny. It tasted like inferior canned pate.

Q. Was there any dog food that you just couldn't bring yourself to try?

A. Alas, it was a can of Mighty Dog called Prime Entree with Bone Marrow. The meat was dark, dark brown, and it was surrounded by gelatin that was almost black. I knew I would die if I tasted it, so I put it outside for the raccoons.

How are your pet's teeth? Let's face it.... Your pet cannot brush their teeth, so they probably have the worst breath!

Pet dental care is probably the last thing on our minds with these challenging times!

I once went to a dentist who had a little sticker on his exam light that you were forced to look at while he did his work. The sticker read, "Prevention Pays - Neglect Costs". The phrase stuck with me and is a constant reminder. If you let your pets teeth go, sooner or later it will have tooth loss or worse... "Prevention Pays - Neglect Costs"

Dental damage is permanent. There is no second chance. Your pet can't tell you when it has a toothache - You need to lift that lip and look!

The Dog Bowl offers a number of solutions for your pet's tooth and gum care needs: dental sprays (Leba III), dental tooth brushes, and dental tooth paste to ready to brush dental kits for your pet.

Does your friend have a dog or cat with THE worst breath?

Labels: Pet Dental Care

In order to take care of your canine, you need to take care of his canines…

An important aspect of your dog’s health that is commonly overlooked is in the realm of dog dental care. Beyond any shadow of doubt, dog dental care is something every responsible dog owner needs to understand and participate in. Dog dental care at home and at the vet is essential for all dogs, especially for smaller dogs. In smaller dogs, the bone that holds the teeth is thinner, which increases the risk of gum disease.
Dog dental care is something that should be done on a regular basis; most veterinarians and breeder say that dog dental care should be done daily. If it isn’t, your dog faces many problems.

Common symptoms of dental problems in dogs include:

• Red, swollen gums
• Bleeding gums
• Drooling
• Bloody saliva
• Tartar buildup at the gum line
• Broken teeth
• Bad breath
• Loss of appetite

The key to proper dog dental care is prevention. The first thing you want to prevent is plaque. If you can prevent plaque from forming, or remove it while still soft, you can prevent most dental problems. Food, bacteria, and saliva can accumulate and stick to the tooth surface, forming a soft plaque. If this soft plaque buildup continues, solutions of chalk-like material will form a hardened calculus on the surface of the tooth. If left unchecked, plaque and calculus buildup can eventually cause gingivitis – inflammation the gums –and periodontitis – inflammation of the lining of the tooth socket. Without proper treatment, the teeth will become infected and may fall out. The infection resulting from these conditions may spread to other parts of the body, such as the kidneys or valves of the heart.

There are two ways to prevent this from happening and provide proper dog dental care:

Tooth Brushing: Tooth brushing is the best way to provide proper dog dental care. Many dog owners brush their dogs' teeth regularly. You should be brushing your dog's teeth at least twice a week and it's not as difficult as you might think. The first thing to do is get the proper toothpaste. You can’t use the same toothpaste we use - The Dog Bowl has pet toothpaste. The toothpastes we use are designed to spit out and dogs can’t spit - they will swallow it. When dogs swallow toothpaste designed for humans, it causes stomach upset. The best toothpastes for dog dental care contain enzymes that help control plaque and fluoride that help control bacteria. Try to avoid products with baking soda, detergents, or salt. The next thing to do is get an appropriate toothbrush. The ideal dog toothbrush will have a long handle, an angled head, and extra soft bristles. You might also consider using a finger toothbrush that fits over the tip of your finger. When you brush your dog’s teeth, use a gentle oval motion and try to concentrate on the outside of the upper teeth. (If you don't like to brush, or are very busy, try a new product we carry call Leba. All you have to do is spray a mist of this product in the mouth! Click here to read about this product & also order it.)

Dental Chews: Although brushing is the best form of dog dental care, chew treats and chew toys are great alternative when regular brushing is hard to do. A good chew toy, like the kind we carry, will be enjoyable for your dog to chew on and will help remove plaque. As your dog chews on the toy, it will scrape particles from the teeth and help keep them clean.

Once again, proper dog dental care is an important part of your dog's overall health. Good dental care can add 3-5 years to your pet's life! At The Dog Bowl, nothing is more important than your pets’ health. For more information about dog dental care and to shop for dental care items at The Dog Bowl click here!

Ever wonder why your pet has bad breath & yellow teeth?

If you look at how your pet's jaw works - it moves up & down only (never side to side). Your pet's mouth is made to make motions to pull and tear at it's food. Watch any Nature's Channel or Discovery segment with lions or wolves and you will see what we mean!

With this in mind let's lightly examine our domesticated pet's daily diet. Are you feeding dry food? Keeping in mind that your pet's jaw function is to move up & down - What is happening to the dry food as it enters the pet's mouth? It is mixing with the saliva and getting sticky and pasty. After all, it was a paste that was squirted out to form "cute" shapes before it was dried.

Do an experiment with us: Put a little dry food in your hand & add a little water (to replicate the saliva in the pet's mouth). Sticky & pasty & greasy! Yuck!

Question: How is the dry food possibly "cleaning" your pet's mouth?

Answer: It is not.

We have come to the conclusion that the dry pet food is actually aiding in making your pet's breath bad & rotting away the teeth! Yikes!

Question: What can you do if you don't want to switch foods?

Answer: Leba II

Leba II is simple to use! (Let's face it - no one has time to brush your pet's teeth twice a day!)

LEBA III balances the chemistry of the mouth keeping the teeth clean and healthy for the entire life of your pet, without side effects. The key to a long healthy life is balance!

Ever wonder why your pet's teeth are so bad? Why ARE your pet's teeth full of plaque? Why does your pet have bad breath? Young or old, it seems that dental issues are a common problem for pets!

Well it is pretty logical to us at The Dog Bowl and we will tell you why! Let's get right to the source of the problem of pet dental issues! Is your pet is eating dry food?

Let's start by doing an experiment together: Place a bit of that dry food in the palm of your hand. Next add a little water. Hold it for a few minutes and let's see what starts to happen. You first notice that your initially clean hand starts to feel greasy. Next you notice how the once, dry food, starts to get soggy and swells up. Followed by a pasty mess! Yuck! Is you hand really messy? Our is! Yuck yuck yuck!

Didn't the television commercial tell us that the dry food cleans our pet's teeth? How can that be? As it made a pasty, sticky mess in our hands! We had to wash our hands multiple times just to get rid of the fatty grease residue!! Logically there is NO way that if our hand is full of a sticky, pasty mess that you could tell me our pet's mouth didn't end of this way as well! My hand is not clean, therefore why would my pet's mouth be any different?

Next let's look at the way the pet's skeleton and jaw functions. Looking at your pet's jaw you can clearly see that they are NOT capable of moving their bottom jaw to the left or the right. They can ONLY move their mouth up and down. Grab your pet & move their jaw to see! Quite simply, the way your cat or dog (they both have the same function) is supposed to eat is to "pull and tear" at their food. (Even more of a reason to consider raw food - click here to read more about B.A.R.F.) Your pet is literally swallowing the dry food, air and all (Why do you think people think they need to provide raised dog bowls? Because their pet is gulping air!), and in a effort to swallow it, and as they move their jaw “up & down” you hear crunching sounds. Dry food is not "chewed" as we have seen in our pet's anatomy -- they simply cannot chew! In addition, those now broken bits of food mixed with saliva make ideal, pasty lodging boats in your pet's mouth, nicely parking along the gum line. Yikes!

I feel betrayed! How about you? ALL these years we hear that our pet chews their food & that the dry, cereal like, food cleans their teeth! Looking at reality and facts, the billion dollar marketing is NOT true! Add on another vet dental bill & you can see - Why would the dry pet food industry want you to think otherwise?

That processed, dry food enters your pet's mouth, mixes with the saliva (much like the water in your hand experiment), and forms a nice, sticky paste and a mess in their mouth - which your cat or dog can't remove! (Remember they cannot move their jaw to the left or right. We can move OUR jaw left to right & think about how sticky chips or cereal items get in your back teeth!). The dry pet food paste sticks in their back teeth and sits their to simply rot away the enamel and gums. Why wouldn’t your pet have bad breath after a few meals like that?

We, at The Dog Bowl, hate to bring you this depressing news, but we would rather you know now that later! There is always a cause for a problem! And much of western medicine practice is to put a “band aid” fix on the issue, not to seek out the root of the problem. And as we have found, that root being the dry pet food industry makes A LOT of money! And so do the veterinarians that recommend it!

In conclusion, we want you, our reader and fellow pet owner, to think about options for your pet. Please! We urge you! There are reasons for why your pet has dental issues. There are millions of pets with the same issue. We are certain when you start pulling on "the why thread" logical answers can and will follow. (Start by reading about commercial pet food - click here.) With good information you can make better choices and decisions for your pets (and for yourself). After all, you are your pet’s source for guidance, training, food and shelter.
