Growing up in a family comprised of a science professor, multiple
registered nurses, and a surgeon, nutrition and health were always
common topics at the dinner table.
As a lifelong dog owner interested in dog health and longevity I was
curious to find out what Andrew Lewis had to say about the state of
commercial dog food. I have spent a good deal of time and research on
dog nutrition in the quest for the ultimate objective- keeping my dogs
healthy and maximizing their longevity.
My independent research revealed that dogs are frequently classified
as geriatric at the ripe young age of 5 years old. Why? Well the
number 1 reason is diet. Dogs have nutritional needs that are
frequently ignored or simply unfulfilled by otherwise well meaning dog
owners who feed their dogs every day commercial dog food.
Veterinarians and dog nutritionists tell us that many commercial dog
foods have inadequate proteins, fats vitamins and minerals. Not only
that these commercial dog food products are loaded with slaughterhouse
waste, toxic materials, junk fillers, heavy metals , pesticides,
herbicides, additives , preservatives and more worthless and
potentially harmful "ingredients."...
