Massive recalls of tainted commercial pet food
•More than 100 brands: Ex: Nestle Purina, Diamond, Science Diet, Veterinary Diet, Natural Balance, Doctors Foster and Smith, Kirkland.
•Deadly toxins: Due to tainted wheat gluten, melamine, fungal toxins and Aflatoxin.
•Symptoms: Jaundice, vomiting, orange-colored urine, kidney failure, liver failure, death.
Dust mites live in kibble
•Dust mites feed on the grain, a problem for humans and pets with allergies to dust mites.
Grain isn’t good for dogs
•Dogs are not historically or naturally grain eaters; they are meat eaters. Their natural evolutionary diet was almost grain free.
Any cooking destroys micronutrients
•Enzymes, phytochemicals, complete families of antioxidants and flavenoids, and vitamins and minerals cannot be replaced with additives or supplements.
Kibble is less nutritious
•Even the best and most expensive has had its nutrients altered, adulterated, devitalized and destroyed by heat, processing, coloring, preservatives and other chemicals.
Waste toxins accumulate
•Feeding your animals commercial food on a regular basis causes waste toxins to accumulate in the blood, lymphs and tissue, which contributes to a weak immune system and renders pets susceptible to chronic diseases.
•
“Processed foods have seriously depleted the natural vitality and immune systems of many pets.” – Dr. William Pollak D.V.M.
“Nutritional issues receive little publicity because the subject matter is technical and usually leads to the ‘naming of names.’ Pet food advertising revenue is huge and consequently, the advertisers are very powerful. Common editorial policy must balance ‘news-worthiness’ with business; this usually results in avoiding negative references to advertisers’ products.” – Dr. William Pollak D.V.M.
What’s In It?
•Pet labels mislead and distort nutritional facts.
•Some animal by-products make regularly consumed pet food poisonous and toxic.
•Contains ingredients, chemicals, toxins, and poisons.
•Food additives, like coloring, are for the human purchaser, not the animal consumer.
•Lacks ingredients that should be part of our pet’s daily food diet.
What It Means For Your Dog
•Product deficiencies lead to overeating, the buying of more products, and the creation of greater malnutrition.
•Our companion animals’ life expectancies are growing shorter every generation.
•Chronic allergic reactions are primarily food based; cause suffering; and require additional treatments that often exacerbate underlying disease.
