The Best Dog Food for Pitbulls by a New York Mile

What dog food is best for pitbulls?

After so many years being involved in canine nutrition it almost seems inconceivable that this magnificent dog, the gladiator of the dog world while softer, sillier and more playful than many dogs, should be eating anything other than the diet they were born to eat.

Look at those muscles, the sheer mass of canine beauty, that powerful jaw, the rugged stance and the instant determination to surmount any obstacle be it an 8 foot fence or hanging onto a swaying tree branch until commanded to let go… 20 minutes later!

Ok so I haven’t got to the best dog food for Pitbulls part yet, but who’s in a rush here, lets wonder at your awesome dog. In fact allow me ask you, why did you get your pitbull? What is it about Pitbulls that attracts you? And what deep desire in you is being fulfilled by your dog?

These are important questions because being partner to a dog like this takes deep responsibility, overcoming social stigma and having great heart, not to mention great leadership.

While I’ve never been master to a pitbull myself I do have an English Staffordshire Bull Terrier who shares a similar lineage to your Pitbull. And so I have been fascinated by this gregarious dog for many years – one of my favorite dogs.

The Only Dog Food a Pitbull Should Ever Eat

Ok let’s get down to business, the dog food your pitbull should eat is a fresh raw food diet. To me it’s the go to option for ALL dogs and I’ll go into why in a moment but for the pitbull a healthy fresh raw food diet is an absolute must. The sheer mass of muscles and the work the dog has to perform be it general exercise or pitbull club meets cries out for quality nutrition. Here’s why?

You Would Not Believe the Difference Great Nutrition Makes to a Pitbull

Pitbulls are born athletes and their need for the right fuel to burn as efficiently as possible while at the same time providing all the right biological processors in all the right places, at the right time and in concert with each other is vital to maximize health and mental wellbeing.

A simple diet of raw food provides the natural synergy at a deep cellular level to heal, maintain and provide balanced energy, all the while firewalled by a robust immune system crucial to keep invading pathogens out and killing any that slip by. No commercial dog food can do this in any meaningful way and certainly not without side effects from the additives which short change the dogs immune system and shorten it’s life span. This I know 100% from many years of first hand experiential knowledge.

Comparing Dog Food to Cars

If I compared commercial dog food and fresh raw dog food to cars, the commercial would be a 2002 Toyota Corolla (runs ok, needs comstant attention and only has a few years left before being scrapped) and raw is definitely a late model Chevrolet Camaro (runs like a dream, amazing power, looks awesome and has many years of prime time ahead).

Best Dog Food Brand for Pitbulls – Home Made

In a nutshell, kibble and canned pet food brands cannot give your dog what they need, in fact it’s impossible! Arguing that one brand of commercial dog food is better than another is just like saying that one brand of fast food is better than another brand of fast food when they are all the same cheap low quality additive ridden junk food.

Think about this: Read any pet food label and you’ll see meat and animal derivatives or by-products listed early on. Do you know what they are? They are anything that’s left after what’s taken for the human food chain. Here’s a short list of what’s left, all legal and in the canned or dry dog food your giving your gladiator today. I’ll also include a small selection of the artificial additives included to preserve, color and enhance flavor.

• Beaks
• Horns
• Hooves
• Hair
• Tails
• Testicles
• Feathers
• Grit
• Floor sweepings
• Wood shavings
• Beet pulp
• Corn gluten meal
• Soybean meal
• Animal digest
• Added color Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 2 and Yellow 6
• Propylene glycol (used to keep food pliable and a constituent of antifreeze)
• Mixture of sugars

The above list is just a sample of what’s in commercial pet food in general. If the first ingredient on the label states whole grain corn, that’s the main ingredient in your dog’s dinner – corn! Not meat but corn. And your pitbull has no dietary need for carbohydrates. Their liver derives energy directly from the protein in their biologically appropriate diet of raw meat and bones. Carbohydrates are included in the ingredients of processed pet food because they are a less expensive source of energy than fat or protein.

How much meat is in your dog’s dinner?

Here’s a tip if your only going to feed convenience pet food.

For example: Beef

• If the label states ‘Beef’ then 70-100% must be beef.
• If the label states ‘Beef Dinner’ then 10-70% must be beef.
• If the label states ‘Beef Flavor’ then 0-4% must be beef.
• If the label starts ‘with Beef or contains Beef’ then it must contain at least 4% beef.
• If two or more main ingredients are stated e.g. ‘Beef and Rice’ then they must be 10-70% of the food (and each one must be greater than 3%)

How is a warrior dog of such magnitude and presence able to exist on this low quality, cheap food waste?

Contrast this with your dog’s history as a predator and their natural biological diet. Your dog is now getting all the macro and micro nutrients it needs, right down to the cellular level biology your dog was designed to grow and function from consuming.

A naturally fed dog will be protected from infection through a strong and healthy immune system, and if your dog is already suffering from allergies for example, she will recover much quicker and without the need for toxic drugs.

What is the Best Dog Food for Pitbulls With Allergies?

Here is one example of a Pittbull I worked with who suffered bad skin allergies from commercial pet food.

It took about 29 days for this Pitbull to go from serious dog skin allergies to 90% plus healed after returning to his biologically appropriate diet and for his muscles to firm up from previously kibble created flabby soft subcutaneous fat filled muscles. His behavior and temperament also changed for the better as he now became more relaxed and obedient without toxic chemicals surging through his body making him hyper and aggressive.
