Dog Food Controversy - Are You Feeding Your Dog To Death?

by Neil Wallace

Are you killing your dog? Are you putting your dog at risk of suffering an early and painful death? Many dog experts agree that certain commercial dog food products increase the risk of your dog dying prematurely. Usually by the time symptoms are noticeable, it's too late.

Ann N. Martin, an internationally recognized authority on the commercial pet food controversy says this about commercial pet foods, "Most commercial pet foods are garbage."

The fact is that dogs are very different to humans. Dogs have simple stomachs and short digestive tracts for digesting meat. Often the cooking processes used by commercial dog food companies kill off the enzymes that are needed by dogs to aid the digestion process.

This controversy surrounding dog food and dog nutrition is just starting to be exposed. It is not just the cooking process that you should be concerned about but what goes into the dog foods. There are claims that some companies use waste products and even road kill as dog food ingredients. And there are special' moist dog foods that are absolutely loaded with toxic chemicals so that they stay soft. There are products that use sugar to get your dog hooked. And some companies are using stool hardening agents in their dog food products.

Have you ever seen dogs in the wild? Have you ever seen them in a natural habitat just as they were before man came along? Last time I looked at dogs in their natural habitat I do not remember the dogs using fires to overcook and dry out their meal. And they certainly did not spice it up with a toxic cocktail of unhealthy additives and preservatives.

What does this mean for you and your pet dog? If you love your dog then it means you need to act responsibly in the way that you feed your dog. This is what good dog care is all about. If you continue to feed your dog nothing but commercial dog food, then death by disease is almost inevitable for your dog.

You owe it to your dog and to yourself to find a healthy and balanced alternative. There are plenty of healthy and natural dog foods. And they are not more expensive. In fact there are many inexpensive homemade dog foods that you can prepare at home using healthy dog food recipes.

Please don't kill your dog. Start looking into healthy dog foods today.
