Are You Feeding Your Dog to Death?

Commercial dog food - so many varieties to choose from and really no idea what I am buying. Does that sound familiar. Dog food labelling has got to be one of the most confusing things I have ever come accross.

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?

It will shock you to realise that the majority of dog owners do not realise what their dog is eating. As consumers we have been brainwashed by the pet-food industry to believe all their marketing claims. Your dogs food may seem like the perfect, balanced solution but unfortunately this is not the case.

Below are a few things to think about the next time you purchase your dogs food.

Dog food contains numerous additives, colourings and preservatives.

Your dogs food will often be contaminated with a wide variety of toxic substances. Some of these will be destroyed by processing, however, some will not. Drugs used to "put down" sick animals are known to still be present in dog food after the manufacturing process

Many pet foods state that they contain "human grade" ingredients. This really is not the case.

A number of diseases in dogs have been linked to commercial pet foods and pet food ingredients.

We all want what is best for our dog so please remember the petfood industry is extremely profitable ($25 billion per annum worldwide). They use state of the art advertising which will not enable you to make an informed decision regarding your dogs diet. You must step back from the hype and learn what is really in your dogs bowl.

I have owned dogs for many years and for most of this time was completely ignorant to what was in the "premium" brand dog foods. It was only after my "newfie" died and her death was linked to her diet that I really began to research what actually goes into commercial dog food.
