Shocking Truth About Dog Food You May Not Know

Have you had to sacrifice your luxuries, vacations, or fun because of the high cost of maintaining your pet’s health? Have you noticed that these costs seem to be rising because your dog needs more trips to the veterinarian’s office?

As animal lovers and dog rescuers, we would do whatever was needed to ensure our pets lived happy, healthy lives. But having to say goodbye to our precious furry friends never got easier, especially when they died too young.

As a kid, we fed our dogs table scraps (which since has become taboo). Long before ‘pet food’ turned commercial, people rarely if ever, took their dogs to the doctor. They lived long, happy lives. So WHAT HAPPENED? Pet food, that’s what.

What's In A Commercial Dog Food?

Due to a lack of understanding of how dog food was manufactured, we raised them on commercial food. They were part of our family and only the best food would do -- and usually, that meant the most expensive. Yet, they acquired various health problems, including cancer, skin issues, allergies, arthritis, etc., and certainly did not live life to their full potential.

Visits to the vet and high-priced medications were not helping our pets. But we did not know what else to do until fifteen years ago when we made a discovery that saved our dog’s life. We had no idea guaranteeing health for our pets could be so easy, inexpensive, and logical.

My husband and I were watching an info show on how pet food is manufactured when I had to leave the room. I became ill from the graphic images. My husband educated me later on the process and the ingredients. It was the last day we gave our pets commercial food.

And it was the first day towards better health for our furry friends.

We also discovered that the price we paid for high-end dog food still had the same chemicals, toxins, additives, food coloring, sugar…….as the cheaper brands.

How Is This Legal? It Certainly Is Immoral!

During our research, we discovered that large dog food manufacturing facilities purchase euthanized pets to be ground up and used in dog food. Even more revolting, they don’t bother removing the collars, leashes, or plastic bags from the deceased dog.

In the second part of this post, I'll share with you more about the shocking truth about dog food and how it's negatively impacting your pet's health. Stay tuned.
