What's really going into commercial dog food? The answer is horrifying.
Big Kibble is big business: $75 billion globally. A handful of multinational corporations dominate the industry and together own as many as 80% of all brands. This comes as a surprise to most people, but what's even more shocking is how lax the regulations and guidelines are around these products. The guidelines?or lack thereof?for pet food allow producers to include ever-cheaper ingredients and create ever-larger earnings. For example, "legal" ingredients in kibble include poultry feces, sawdust, expired food, and diseased meat, among other horrors. Many vets still don't know that kibble is not the best food for dogs because Big Kibble funds nutrition research. So far, these corporations have been able to cut corners and still market and promote feed-grade food as if it were healthful and beneficial?until now.
Just as you are what you eat, so is your dog. Once you stop feeding your dog the junk that's in kibble or cans, you have taken the first steps to improve your dog's health, behavior, and happiness.
