Healthy Pet Treats By Steele

Did you know that most dogs live an average of 14 years? Many veterinarians agree that a dog is capable of living for twenty years or even longer. So why are so many dogs dying early? World famous vet's and dog researches blame the premature death of dogs directly on the food they are given. Does that mean that unwittingly you could harm your dog by the kind of food you feed him? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Even the higher priced respected name brand dog foods contain ingredients and preservatives that have been banned from human consumption because they are known to cause diseases like cancer, leukemia, organ failure, birth defects, and blindness. A lot of dog food manufacturers claim that their product is free of preservatives but that does not mean the product is preservative free. What it means is the manufacturer has not added any chemicals to the product, and since they did not add any chemicals they are not required by law to list them. The twist is that the dangerous chemicals are added to the meat at the rendering plants before it's sent to the manufacturer. Independent analysis has shown that dog food labeled chemical free or all natural ingredients contains synthetic anti oxidants. This fact has been revealed in countless brand name dog foods regardless of the cost. Remember at present the Dept of Agriculture does not have a mandatory inspection for the ingredients used in pet food. So, what exactly are the ingredients in many leading dog foods? It's a rather disgusting answer and likely to make you sick but many commercial dog foods contain dead pets, mostly cats and dogs. It is reported that the city of Los Angeles sends some two hundred tons of euthanized cats and dogs to the pet food plant every month. All the dead animals and other putrid by products are reduced to a substance called brown powder that consists of 25% fecal matter. Unfortunately, the recipe for dog food doesn't stop with pets or stray animals it includes dead animals from zoos and even road kill as well. Many of the animals are euthanized with Sodium Pentobarbital. This chemical is not broken down by manufacturing process and remains in its active form in the dog food. Combine this with the heavy use of preservatives like BHA/BHT and Ethoxyquin and it's not hard to understand why your dog's food may be little more than toxic swill. Most people would not feed this junk to their worst enemy let alone their best friend. It does not have to be this way. There are alternatives foods that will ensure a long healthy life for your pet and they don't cost more than what you're spending now... in the long run it cost less. Regardless of what you have been led to believe there are a number of economical ways you can protect your dog from premature death and disease. ======== Dog Food Secrets reveals the shocking truth about the pet food industry and how you can avoid harming the dog that trusts you so much. If you love your pet it's worth the time to read the free report. But, I feel it's only fair to warn you the picture of what is contained in many commercial dog foods may make you nauseated. www.healthy-pet-treats.info Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=_Steele http://EzineArticles.com/?Healthy-Pet-Treats & id=910279 Comment on this Story | Printer Friendly | Send Story to a Friend | Top
