Product Review: Nature's Recipe Healthy Skin Vegetarian Recipe Dog Food

The Product
Nature's Recipe makes various types of food for your canine friend. One type of dog food they make is a Healthy Skin Vegetarian Recipe. The dry kibble dog food chosen for this review came in a large 37.5 pound bag. The manufacturer claims that the Vegetarian Recipe is easily digestible and contains no beef, corn, wheat, or artificial preservatives.

Of course, the Vegetarian Recipe does not contain any meat products whatsoever. Nature's Recipe claims that the Vegetarian Recipe "provides the same essential nutrients found in diets with meat as the protein source."

Why Vegetarian Dog Food?
Perhaps you are vegetarian. You would like to go the extra step of providing your beloved canine companion the same healthful, cruelty-free diet. Dogs are omnivores just like humans and can adapt quite readily to a balanced vegetarian diet.

If your dog has food intolerances, trying this Vegetarian Recipe food may be appropriate as well.

Bridget, the Greyhound, Puts the Healthy Skin Vegetarian Recipe to the Test
When I first opened the bag, I noticed the light brownish colored kibble smells quite good. Most other types of dog food I have smelled have not seemed so appetizing.

Over a year and a half ago, we adopted Bridget, our wonderful retired racing Greyhound dog, through a rescue group in the Oklahoma City area called, adorably, Hounds of the Heartland. Bridget is not the most ravenous eater. We always keep food in her bowl, and she never abuses that privilege by packing on pounds. In fact, most greyhounds are so naturally slim that the issue is whether they might be underweight rather than overweight, especially when they have come fresh from the racetrack. My brother and sister-in-law's pug is a completely different matter.
