Do we really know what we're feeding our pets?
------------------------------------------------
In the Spring of 2007, pet owners across North America were
devastated when upwards of 50,000 pet dogs and cats fell seriously
ill after eating tainted pet food. Many of the animals died. Menu Foods of Toronto, Canada the manufacturer, initiated the
biggest recall of pet food in North American history.In the wake of the scandal, the trust pet food makers so carefully
nurtured with pet lovers has been severely shaken, and the $16
billion dollar pet food industry has come under public scrutiny
as never before.
Pet owners and governments are asking: -----------------------------------------
Is pet food both nutritious, and safe?
-----------------------------------------
In many cases NO.Most dog and cat food contain poorly digestible Carbohydrates
as the FIRST ingredient.Why?Because they are CHEAPER to add vs better quality, more
digestible animal protein.In selecting a commercial kibble, ENSURE that animal protein
is the FIRST ingredient.---------------------------------------------

Does it live up to the claims of its makers?
---------------------------------------------NOPELeather boots, wood shavings and motor oil, which in theory could
pass one of the minimum standards for pet food, even though it's
inedible.Pet Food maker are wonderful at making their product sound
nutritious, and they add ALL sorts of healthy sounding ingredients,
YET in may cases these are in such minute amounts they provide
ZERO nutritional benefit.I firmly believe that in most cases you would be better off to
make your pet's own food-You then know the ingredients.Then add in a Quality supplement.You can see my supplement here:http://www.thedogsupplement.com
------------------------------------------
Is the industry adequately regulated?
------------------------------------------Not At all.There is a VOLUNTARY governing body, but NO official
government regulator- In Canada or the U.S.Hence the entire Pet Food Recall fiasco.FOr example look at how 'the law' treats pets:Pets are considered 'property', yet the pet food industry strongly
promotes the view that pets are family members and markets its
products on that basis.Much is needed to change- yet there is little political
will to do so.///////////////////////////////////////////////////////P.S. SO what should you do?Don't just stick with one so called 'trusted' brand. Many of these
were affected with the Pet Food Recall.Rotate the kibble.Make some of your own Pet Food at home.Consider feeding Raw - even once a week.TO get my ENTIRE Pet Food Report, including WHAT
commercial foods I advise, the Recipes to feed,

P.P.S. In feeding ANYTHING to your dog, I advise a quality,

lost in commercial food processing.You can grab your trial here:Ultimate Canine Supplement
