Poor
Quality Nutrition Is An Important Factor |
|
The
Following Practices are Used by Some Pet Food
Manufacturers |
POOR
PROTEIN
SOURCES |
Soybean Meal, Wheat, Corn Glutens, Corn Meal,
Whole Corn, Crushed Corn and Ground Corn are
commonly used for their protein content in many
pet foods. These ingredients are generally poor
sources of protein vs. meat. |
|
CHEMICAL PRESERVATIVES |
BHA,
BHT and ethoxyquin are found in many pet foods.
Scientific studies have proven that these
chemicals can be harmful. In fact, they have
been shown to promote liver disease and other
medical problems. |
|
FOOD COLORING |
Food
colorings are still commonly used in pet foods
today despite the fact that they are not
necessary and some have been linked to medical
problems. |
|
BY-PRODUCTS |
By-products can vary ... they can consist of the
internal parts of animals such as necks, heads,
undeveloped eggs, feet, intestines, lungs,
spleen and liver. Although by-products are used
by many manufacturers, are these ingredients you
would knowingly feed your pet? |
|
WHAT LABELS
DON'T REVEAL
Consider this example:
You decide to eat a balanced meal. You order a
fast food hamburger, which contains protein from
meat, carbohydrates from bread and vegetables
from tomatoes. The three food groups. The next
night your mom prepares the same balanced meal
but her hamburger is made with premium grade
sirloin meat, whole wheat bread and fresh garden
tomatoes. While the ingredient list for both
dinners would read the same, obviously mom's
meal provides a higher level of nutrition.
|
Condemned parts and animals rejected for human
consumption can be rerouted into commercial pet
foods. These condemned parts are referred to as
the 4 D's: dead, dying, diseased or decayed.
We believe this is one of the most despicable
practices in the pet food manufacturing
industry.
Some manufacturers have a lower standard
regarding the quality of ingredients they use to
make pet food. A recent example of this
practice is the discovery of Pentobarbital in
major pet foods, including supermarket brands.
Pentobarbital is a chemical used to euthanize
animals. Many holistic veterinarians feel that
daily ingestion of pentobarbital can be harmful.
Many manufacturers cut costs by using the
cheapest ingredients available at the time a
food is made. Since costs rise and fall, some
manufacturers will vary ingredients from batch
to batch .. resulting in changed nutrient values
for each batch and possible digestive illness.
Some manufacturers have lower standards
regarding the freshness of ingredients they use
to make pet food. You can not determine the
freshness of ingredients by reading a label; you
must trust the pet food manufacturer.
