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?
Well, the shocking truth is you don't. The Petfood industry want you to believe all their claims and petfood marketing and advertising has become very sophisticated over the last few years. The food may be labelled as "complete and balanced" but that is not the case.
These are some of the things you need to bear in mind the next time you go shopping for your dog 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.
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 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.
