Local Dog Food Ingredients Story
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s heartening to see some local media pay attention to the important toic of pet food ingredients.
The folks at RiverDell have done a fair job of summarizing some of the top dog food ingredient concerns for their readers. They even pointed them to a resource that reviews different branded pet foods.
I know we live in an era of short attention spans, but he only thing I’d add here is that short articles like this are inevitably a little light on detail.

Posted by: | CommentsIt’s a shame that the mainstream media still put out generalities under the guise of helpful consumer information on dog food .
A case in point is the recent posting from news-star.com.
Titled: “How to pick the best dog food” it completely misses most of the real information that pet parents need to know about the dog food industry and dog food labeling.
For example, it’s not enough to say that you look at the first few ingredients listed in the food. The article says” “A good, quality food is always going to list the meat as the first ingredient.”
This may be true but it misses the VITAL point that some companies legally mislead you by putting, say, “chicken” as the first ingredient and not letting you know this is the weight with WATER of the unprocessed ingredients.
Water is lost in cooking so the amount of nutritional protein is going to be less with “chicken”
Now because most of the water has been removed in chicken meal, this makes it a concentrated source of protein and truly worthy of being the #1 ingredient on the list – even without the weight of water.
This means that there is a greater “protein content” in one pound of chicken meal versus one pound of chicken meat.
Choose wisely! Dr. Jane’s Lifes Abundance dog food (which we recommend) lists “Chicken Meal” as it’s #1 ingredient.
Dog Food Nutritional Labels
Posted by: | CommentsThere’s a lot of sleight-of-hand in dog food nutritional labeling. A recent article in “Area Voices” talks about this.

The Ugly Truth About Dog Food Ingredients
Posted by: | CommentsThe Ugly Truth About Dog Food Ingredients
When I started to research how long dogs live it soon became evident to me that our pets – both dogs and cats – are not living as long as they should.
And I learned that poor quality pet food had a lot to do with it. Vet Dr. Jane Bicks speaks about this extensively. As a former employee and product formulator for a big pet food company she knows about the poor quality ingredients added in the name of “cost savings”.

Why add ingredients that can kill or seriously injure your pet?
Many branded pet foods include wheat and corn as cheap fillers. These are susceptible to aflatoxin molds and have been known to kill and injure cats and dogs when quality checking breaks down – as it inevitably will fro time to time.

Because of these risky ingredients and the fact that many pet stores keep bags of dry food for weeks and even months, often in unsuitable storage, pet food companies need to add chemical preservatives to pet food. Some of these are not good for our pets.
