Dr. Charles E Loops, DVM “Science Diet Hill’s dog cat food products are not good diets. They use chemical preservatives that have been shown to cause problems in some animals they use by-products, which are words on the ingredient label that need to be avoided at all costs. This generally means food not utilized for human consumption.”
IGNORE THE *GLITZY* ADVERTISING
“What most consumers are unaware of is that the pet food industry is an extension of the human food industry… pet food provides a place for slaughterhouse waste and grains considered “unfit for human consumption” to be turned into profit.” — Born Free USA (formerly the Animal Protection Institute): What’s really in pet food… click here to read the article!

- BHA – chemical preservative that’s suspected of causing cancer
- BHT – same as above
- BEET PULP – filler, high in sugar
- BEEF TALLOW – rock hard, white, and fatty. Most dogs have great difficulty in digesting it
- BY-PRODUCTS – meat by-products have no meat in them; it’s what’s left over after the ‘meat’ has been removed. Questionable nutritional value due to inconsistent ingredients

- HVP GRAINS – cats dogs are not grain (corn, rice, wheat, etc.) eaters. Their mouths contain no digestive enzymes no grinding teeth. Their prey’s stomach contains pre-digested plant vegetation. (no cornstalks, rice paddies, or wheat fields!)
- HYDROLYZED VEGETABLE PROTEIN – contains MSG may cause adverse reactions in sensitive animals. IRON OXIDE – basically the same ingredient as ‘rust’ ‘MEAT BONE MEAL’ – a by-product (14% may be indigestible residue) made from mammal parts (including the 4 D’s – Dead, Diseased, Dying, Disabled) including rendered animals from shelters, road kill, etc.
- NITRATES – produce carcinogenic substances called nitrosamines
- PEANUT/SOYBEAN HULLS – harsh fibers that can create chronic constipation damage sensitive colon tissues
- POULTRY – can be any type of fowl: geese, buzzards, etc.
- PROPYLENE GLYCOL – (related to anti-freeze) causes irregularities in the red blood cells of cats. Dogs cats can become addicted to it. It can cause skin problems, hair loss, dull coat, diarrhoea, overweight even death
- SALT – can lead to hypertension, kidney stress, colon irritation
- SORGHUM – low in digestibility
- SOYBEANS – difficult to digest/assimilate; linked to bloat in dogs
