Dog Training

How do you select your dog food? When reading the labels do you know what the ingredients listed really are?  I started my research on dog food »”>dog food shortly after my six year old Beagle started having seizures. The facts about what goes into dog food is sickening and I decided I needed to help educate pet owners about this danger.

I promise you I’m not going to give you a sale pitch for some high priced fancy dog food. I will explain to you how to learn how to look at the ingredients in your dog food and understand what they really are.

What if I told you that if you learn how to feed your dog properly, it could add up to 8.3 years to their lives? That would mean eight more years of tail wagging, kisses and unconditional love.

It took me many hours of research, but I did find a book that explained how to decode the secret language used on dog food labels. Even though the FDA regulates dog food labeling, the regulations are not even close to what they use for people food..

The regulations for dog food labeling seemed to be written to help the industry hide certain ingredients they use to enhance flavor and prolong shelf life. Not to mention just plain deceive the pet owner by allowing the commercial pet food industry to play with words in their labeling.

The difference between a dog food named Beef Dog Food and Beef Flavored Dog Food is that the first would contain around 70% beef (of some kind) and the second could contain 0% beef of any kind.

Another way they are allowed to play with words is, if the use the words “with, Dinner or Nuggets” they only need to contain 3% of that ingredient in the food.

Watching dog food commercials you would think that they only use quality meat, but in reality most foods contain byproducts marked unfit for human consumption.

Some companies in the commercial pet food industry are adding waste leftovers from human food processing plants to add protein to their dog foods. We could not eat these by-products so why would we want to feed it to our dogs?

The problem here is the FDA allows the pet food industry to label these ingredients in such a way that we think they are healthy. One example of this is the use of the words Dried Egg Products as an ingredient in your dog food. This sounds healthy enough and it is listed as a source of protein, but this ingredient is a leftover by-product that is marked unfit for human consumption.

It is easy to be fooled by the healthy sounding ingredients listed on your dog food label, but once you understand what you’re reading your see these toxic by-products ingredient have been sugar coated with a healthy looking name.

After doing my own research I have decided I needed to switch my dogs to a homemade dog food, but I know that is not particle for everyone. Therefore it is even more important to understand exactly what is in your dog food.
