The ABCs of Choosing Dog Food
Of course, a dog's food is provided by its owner. Choosing dog food solely on the basis of price can have a negative impact on your dog's health and can lead to illnesses or allergic reactions. To avoid this, when choosing dog food, it's important to keep these three points in mind when making your purchase.
- I: Buy dog food without additives
- R: Buy dog food with ingredients selected to prevent allergies
- Y: Make sure it uses "human-grade" ingredients that humans can eat
First, keep the above three points in mind when choosing the perfect dog food for your dog♪
What is tear staining caused by allergies? 】
Tear staining in dogs refers to the brown discoloration of the hair around the eyes caused by tears. It's easily noticeable in dogs with light white or gray fur, and is a sign of some kind of abnormality.
The surface of the eyes of both humans and dogs is constantly covered with tears.
Tears moisten the surface of the eye, protecting it from external stimuli and providing oxygen and other energy to the eye.
If tears, which protect and keep the eyes hygienic, are secreted in excess, or if there is some abnormality in the lacrimal glands that prevents them from properly draining into the nose, tears will overflow from the eyes. This condition is called "epiphora."
When the area under the eyes remains wet with tears for a long period of time due to epiphora, the components in the tears can cause the hair to turn brown, resulting in "tear stains."
There are three main causes:
- Abnormalities in the tear excretion pathway
- Increased tear production
- Decreased tear retention on the ocular surface
Starting from the top
- Inflammation due to blockage of the lacrimal gland
- Excessive tear production due to allergies or hair getting caught in the eye
- Deterioration of the tear-storing tissue due to aging
These are the main causes.
Today, we'll focus on the second area, diet, which is the easiest to improve, and introduce some recommended dog foods!
