Pet Food Labels

[ian allen]

With more recalls daily it seems people are taking great risks in
buying dog food or cat food for their pets if do not know what they
are buying. It is a wonder that we can chose any product on the market
today, that is not tainted or treated in some way.
As we have seen in the last 20 years the decline in the health of pets
worldwide and the rise of pet diseases such as cancer, diabetes,
asthma, and damaged immune systems rendering them more susceptible to
illness. If this seems scary to you, it is because it is a real
minefield, trying to find something healthy to feed your dog. Many pet
owners are resorting to making home cooked meals for their dogs, or
buying selective truly organic pet foods, which are clearly defined by
"what is not in it". Some are choosing organic only raw dog food
diets.
Today, after six months of a massive recall of pet foods with the list
growing longer each day and the number of pet deaths climbing, we have
to look closely at the label of what we buy for our pets more than
ever. All the slick advertising and wonderfully colorful packages with
pictures of healthy dogs, jumping in mid air over fences in a meadow,
can hide the actual ingredients. In addition, recommendations from
Veterinarians do not ensure your dog is getting wholesome, unaltered
real food. Many Veterinarians recommended dog and cat foods were on
the Recall Lists, although they gained the financial benefits of these
higher priced products....
