Commercial dog food - such confusion. I don’t know about you but I have spent many an hour just staring at the vast array of dog food available and at the end having absolutely no idea what i have just bought.
The issue is there are just loads of brands to chose from. Where do you start when faced with complete information overload. It would help if we could actually make sense of the labelling and have some idea of what we were feeding our dog. Do we really know what we are feeding our dog?
The bottom line is you don’t know what your dog is eating. The pet-food industry spend enormous sums of money to ensure that we believe all their claims. The food may be labelled as “meeting all your dogs needs” but unfortunately that is not so.
Below are a few things to think about the next time you purchase your dogs food.
Dog food contains numerous additives, colourings and preservatives.
The food is full of dead animals, bones, blood, head, feet and because dead and sick animals can be used in pet food some of the drugs that were used to treat or euthanize them may still be present after the manufacturing process.
Many pet foods state that they contain “human grade” ingredients. This really is not the case.
A variety of diseases in dogs have been associated with commercial dog food and their ingredients.
The next time you go shopping for your dog food remember the petfood industry is a highly sophisticated advertising machine ($25 billion a year in profit worldwide) It is crucial that you can tell the difference between advertising hype and what is relevant so you can make an informed decision regarding your dogs diet.
I started to research the commercial dog food industry after the shocking death of my 5 year old Newfoundland. I had no idea that the food I was feeding her was killing her.
