How important is the choice of your dog food? Most people don’t know how to read the ingredients list nor do they understand what they really mean.
Because my dog soundly started to have seizures I stared to look for a cure. This lead me to start to do research on different dog food.. The commercial dog food companies have been hiding behind weak FDA rules for to long and now that I know the truth I must spread the word to every pet owner that will listen.
I promise you I’m not going to give you a sale pitch for some high priced fancy dog food. I will explain to you how to learn how to look at the ingredients in your dog food and understand what they really are.
What would you say if I told you that just by feeding your dog correctly you could add over eight years to its life? That would mean eight more years of tail wagging, kisses and unconditional love.
I searched for a long time before I found reliable non bias information on how to read labels found on dog food. While it is true the FDA regulates dog food labeling, it does not use the same standards it uses for food prepared for people..
The FDA’s weak regulations of dog food labeling have made it easy for the pet food industry to hide unhealthy ingredients that they use to make the food more attractive to dogs so that they’ll eat it. Some of these ingredients are actually deadly over the long term for your dogs. The problem is they are allowing the industry to play with words and that makes it hard for the pet owner to really know what is in the food…
For example a dog food named Chicken dog food would have around 70% chicken (of some sort) but if its named Chicken flavored dog food then it probably has 0% chicken of any kind in it.
If the name of the food contains the word “with” then by law that food only needs to contain around 3% of that ingredient. The words “Dinner” or “Nuggets” along with many more words all change the quality of the dog food.
The FDA has helped the industry with its weak regulations, deceive the pet owners into thinking they are using quality ingredients, when in reality they use ingredients listed as not fit for human consumption..
The animal food industry is using the waste leftovers from human food production processing plants. This slop is deemed unfit for human consumption, but is sold as ingredients for pet foods.
The FDA’s weak regulations let the commercial dog food companies use words on their labels to describe dog food ingredients that make it sound like their healthy. If your dog food has an ingredient listed as “Dried Egg Products” you might think that is healthy. After all eggs are a good source of protein, but dried egg products are the leftovers from the egg industry that are deemed not fit for human consumption.
The problem is there are hundreds of ingredients listed on dog food labels that seem to mean one thing when in reality they mean something completely different.
After doing my own research I have decided I needed to switch my dogs to a homemade dog food, but I know that is not particle for everyone. Therefore it is even more important to understand exactly what is in your dog food.
