Dog Food - What is Your Dog Eating
Have you noticed all of the pet food recalls that have recently taken place? If you have a pet, then surely, you have heard this news.
This is one of the reasons as to why pet owners have turned to making their own dog food for their pets.
They are afraid to feed their pet commercial food because they do not want their dog dying from it.
What is all this fuss really about? What can bad dog food do to your dog? Humans are told not to eat too much food that has been canned and there are many health concerns behind this.
Well, the same thing goes for dogs.
Dog food that is moist has been packed into cans.
Can you imagine all of the preservatives and chemicals that is being injected into the package? This is mostly done to enhance the palatability, add some flavor and to improve the appearance of the food.
What is even more harsh is that animal by-products are the main components of pet food.
Here, the main part of the food has already been filled with chemicals before they have even arrived at the processing plant.
Even if that can of chow states different information, there is no guarantee that it really is preservative free.
When you look at some dry dog foods, it is even worse.
The food that is moist contains less harsh chemicals than dry dog food.
Those chemicals are used to make the shelf life longer.
The ingredients alone is another problem.
They are usually meat, grains and poultry.
The parts that are not healthy for humans to eat, such as the blood, innards and the bones are what makes up the by-products in pet food.
We would not eat this stuff, so why would we sit there and feed it to our four-legged friends? It is not always a slaughtered animal that ends up in your pets meals, but sometimes, it is creatures that have been euthanized and diseased carcasses.
Not to mention the fact that there is bacteria, such as Escherichia and Salmonella living in this meat as it doesn't always die off.
In turns, this destroys any nutritional content that there once was.
Then, you have moldy grain tossed into it, which makes it even worse.
What do you have? A canine cocktail that is lethal! Doesn't that sound harsh? We're not trying to scare you or anything along that line, we are just telling you reality.
