Compare Dog Food to See It Is Really Safe
Is the pet food you are feeding really safe? You owe it to your pet to do some research and compare dog food. Most commercial pet food is so low in nutritional value that it can actually cause a variety of health problems. You should learn to understand ingredients on the label. Don’t trust the pretty pictures and fancy packaging.
You should avoid any food that has preservatives in it. Pet food manufacturers are able to get a 12 - 18 month shelf life by loading the food with preservatives. Stay away from any food with BHA, BHT, Ethoxyquin, Propyl Gallate or Propylene Glycol. Also avoid artificial coloring.
Most commercial pet foods use inferior protein sources like by-products, meat meal and animal digest. It’s hard to even write those words with out being disgusted!
The best way to insure that you are feeding your pets safe and healthy food is to prepare it at home using human quality ingredients. It’s really pretty easy and less expensive than the high quality brands that are safe.
