Here at Funny Farm Pugs we are about constant,and never ending improvement in our personal lives,as well as our breeding program.
We have been researching dog foods for many years and are up to date on the very best in whole food nutrition for our pets.We are not against the RAW FOOD DIET if you have the time to research and formulate all that a canine would need in its system to keep it healthy and give it a long life ,however when many people feed the RAW FOOD DIET they do not give the dogs ALL the important chelated minerals ,antioxidents,omega 3s and 6 fatty acids among many other things and this may cause dificiencies in the dog and ultimately leave the dog open for disease, and shorten thier life. This is why we have chossen to go with a Holistic comercial dog food.We have our pugs on Canidae for all life stages.It keeps our pugs in tip top shape while keeping the shedding down to a minimum.Canidae is also free of additives,preservatives,corn fillers,& absolutely NO animal by products.Canidae can be found at www.mudbay.us  and can be fed to puppies,adults,pregnent,& lactating females and it is  formulated for all lifestages in one bag not different ones for each stage,and is ultimately more holistic than many dog foods out there.We will continue to research and share all of our findings with you ~ so check back often for updates.

Premium Dog Food ??


Your dog is important to you and you hope he will be a member of your family for a long time. But what about your dog's wellness? The truth is, many dogs could be considerably healthier

 A commitment to longevity for your dog must include a premium dog food . Unfortunately, many premium dog food readily available is not the right one for your dog.
People are fooled by marketing that attracts dog owners through fancy packaging and clever advertising.Premium dog food mostly means cute shapes, fancy colors, or putting toys in the package. This is geared toward the human not the dog!
But, if the human food manufacturers regularly cheat on what is in our food, as they been caught doing time and time again, what do you think is in the
"premium dog food" you feed your dog???The majority of dog food is produced to appeal to the public for sales purposes, not for our dogs wellness! Recent studies have shown processed dog food to be a factor in increasing disorders. Dogs suffering from cancer, arthritis, obesity, dental disorder, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic ear infections, bladder and kidney stones, hip dysplasia, or diabetes. Itchy skin, yeast infections, demodectic mange, and skin rashes are a common problem with dogs, and the dog food ingredients in commercial so called premium dog food are usually the cause - according to many veterinarians and dog breeders. Disorders that pester our domesticated dogs do not plague wolves or wild living dogs! It is estimated that up to two million dogs suffer from dog food allergy. Why? Because most commercial dog food is loaded with chemicals, fillers, stabilizers, color agents, and by-products to improve the taste, stability, characteristics, or appearance of this premium dog food. Synthetic preservatives include Butylated hydroxyanisole ( BHA) and Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), Propylgallate, Propylene glycol, Ethoxyquin and Sodium nitrite.
All of the above can literally poison your dog, possibly creating toxic overload in its liver and kidneys. Some manufactures claim to use vitamins as "natural" preservatives, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols), and oils of rosemary, clove, or other spices. Don’t be fooled by dog food that claim to have no preservatives, they would have no shelf life without preservation of some kind.
Those
dog food ingredients are already individually preserved.The wrong dog food set up destructive biochemical reactions in the dogs body. Therefore, healthy dog food - made of fresh meat, vegetables, grains, and fruits - will support biochemical reactions and lead to a healthy immune system that fights off bacteria, viruses, and parasites.Most commercial dog food presents the dog with a nutritional challenge that it's stomach is unable to cope with. Here is some info on THE RAW FOOD DIET http://www.avma.org/onln ews/javma/jan05/050115ww.asp
