For a long time now I have become more and more convinced that my pointer dog, Maxie, looks upon me as being like a father figure or an older brother. He was always very loyal and loving, but over the last few years, he has become even more so. He seems to want to protect me and sometimes I feel that he is a little jealous of the children and even my wife. He has never shown any aggression towards them, or even close to it. I just feel that he would like me all to himself. I felt that it was responsibility to talk to my family vet about it, so I gave her a call. She told me that what had happened was that the dog, in his own way, had appointed me as leader of the pack, of which my wife and children were also members. She assured me that the dog would never do anything to harm his fellow pack members, but would get a little put out if he felt that anyone else in the “pack” was getting undue attention. I called a family (or pack) conference and we discussed this surprising new development. We all agreed that we would now treat Maxie with the same love and respect that he had been treating us. When I asked the kids if they would also treat me as leader of the pack, they politely declined.

Many dog owners make homemade meals for their dogs using raw meats and vegetables, eggs, cheeses and a variety of homemade treats. Some dog owners even choose to feed their dogs a strictly vegetarian diet.  A dogs system gains the maximum benefits from meat and bones in their naturally raw state. Many dog foods are manufactured so poorly; vitamins must be added to them in supplement form. However, once the dog food is cooked down or heated, packaged, and sold, most of these added vitamins have been lost.  Dog feeding tips

Though there are many dog lovers out there who gasp at the thought of using pre-made dog food, there are still many dog lovers who swear by dry dog food. There are many, many brands of dog food out there and many manufactures. No-one will be able to tell you what the best one is but they can offer advice on a dogs dietery needs. You and are dog will have to work together as a team. You can do your part by carefully reading the labels on the food you are going to buy. Remember cheaper is not always better. A lot of times the cheaper brands add a lot of fillers and use cheap ingredients. The more premium dog foods tend to use better ingredients with no fillers. Your dog is going to do their part by letting you know if they like the food or not.
