NUTRITION What's Really in Commercial Pet Food... ![]() "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." Animal Protection Institute What's really in pet food... click here to read the article! WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING YOUR PET TONIGHT? ANIMAL DIGEST - a mix of unknown animals & animal parts; often the 'leftovers' are deemed 'unfit' for human consumption ANIMAL FAT - low in linoleic acid necessary for healthy coat & skin 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 leftover after the 'meat' is gone. Questionable nutritional value due to inconsistent ingredients CELLULOSE - empty filler: dried wood processed to a fine powder EGG PRODUCT - leftovers - including undeveloped eggs, shells, & tissue unfit for human consumption ETHOXYQUIN - a rubber stabilizer and pesticide; known to cause liver and kidney dysfunction FISH MEAL - unknown, often unusable fish parts FATS/OILS - usually left-over restaurant grease; often rancid FLAVOURINGS - may include substances that dogs are sensitive to, such as MSG or 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 '4D'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 SUGAR, sucrose, (corn) syrup etc - addictive; empty calories WHEY - after weaning, many dogs are lactose intolerant; can cause digestive problems YEAST - can cause allergies IT'S VET RECOMMENDED! - YOUR PET WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT!
