Is Nutrition Related to Behavioral Problems in Dogs?
July 20th, 2009 | 
Author: There is evidence that suggests that behavioral problems in dogs are related to their nutrition. According to an article by the Examiner.com, dogs that are hyperactive, out of control or aggressive may have been fed diets that are not appropriate for them. Now, just because a dog has these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s their dog food, but it could be.
So how do you find out? Well, obviously the first thing you could try is to change their dog food. Unfortunately, that’s not a simple process, but is doable nonetheless. If you decide to change your dog food, don’t do it cold turkey. You have to do it gradually. Mix ¼ of the new food with ¾ of the old food to start for one day. Then slowly, maybe a ¼ at a time change it day by day. Watch your dog for any unusual changes like getting sick, runny stool, etc. If so, either try another brand or keep the same ratio for a few days and see what happens. If not, then continue to introduce the new food slowly.
What type of ingredients do you want to stay away from? If your dog is out of control or hyperactive, then it’s a good idea to find a dog food that has a low level of wheat, corn and corn meal. If your dog is aggressive, then look for a dog food that has complete proteins present. When a dog is fed incomplete proteins they don’t digest well which can lead to undesirable behaviors.
Finding the right mix in a commercial dog food is sometimes hard. Many people therefore look for homemade dog food recipes to try their hand at making their own dog food. If you decide to go this route, make sure to consult a vet or dog nutritionist before making the change. When you make your own dog food, you can control the amount of wheat, corn, corn meal and types of proteins found in the dog food.
I hope that you’ll see some great positive behavioral changes with your new dog food soon.

Food can absolutely contribute to behavior problems. If you want to be sure what’s in your pet’s food, consider making it yourself.

Why jesus allows this sort of thing to continue is a mystery.
