Commericial Dog Food is Non Regulated and Contains Poisons That Can Kill Your Dog
I've worked at a
vet's office
and asked one
of the one's I really trusted,
what they would recommend for my new
dog. He
said "None" of
the commercially
produced ones.
When I asked why, he
said it was because there are no quality standards for pet food.
There
could be variations between one batch
and another. One lot could
cause diarrhea, another a dull coat, intermittent
vomiting or skin
problems. Since
you change what batches
you feed your dog
over time, you
will never know what
caused the problem.
You would be shocked what goes into dog food.
Products unfit for human
consumption are put into dog food. That includes
rendered pets. Yes, euthanized
and animals
that die from
disease are rendered into
products that end up in your dog food. Supporters of
this practice say that the product
is sterilized
so that no diseases are transmitted.
When you read
pet-food labels and it says
meat or bone meal,
that's what it
is -- cooked and converted animals, including some
dogs and cats. Even worse than the thought of our dogs becoming cannibals is the process that the flesh goes through
to become bone meal. This meat and bone must be
treated with toxic chemicals
to render it to product.
Since many of the condemned animals are euthanized, dog food contains sodium Pentabarbital. There is
also heavy metal contamination such as lead from our environment. While food for human consumption must meet
strict standards, dog food does not.
So think long and hard before you feed your dog that food from the supermarket that is labeled healthy dog food. It probably is not.
