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.
