Have you ever scanned the ingredients in a commercial dog food and
thought, "What the hell is this? It can't be healthy. I can't even

dog food without you even realizing it.

full of preservatives and chemicals, that they aren't any better for
our dogs than Twinkies (TM) are for humans.

Manufacturers don't have to list preservatives that they themselves
did not add.
Many preservatives make their way into dog food at rendering plants
before the meat is even sent to the manufacturer. An analysis of
several dog foods labeled "chemical free" or "all natural ingredients"
found synthetic antioxidants in all samples....
