Default Why Kibble (And Other Fake Foods) Could Be Harming Your Dog

Here is a great article from a wonderful dog magazine. I will give you
a few quotes.

http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com...-harming-dogs/

”There is something inherently wrong with most processed foods that
pet owners are unaware of. The heating and processing that these
foods undergo create a fundamental change that could have dangerous
ramifications – it renders the food essentially dead. What goes into
the good is not what comes out once it is heated, sterilized,
irradiated and extruded and nearly all dog foods will not meet AAFCO
standards once they are heated. As a consequence, the vitamins and
minerals must be added back in for the food to pass AAFCO
requirements.”

"These vitamins and minerals are added to pet foods in the form of
something called a premix. If the premix is not added to the food
after the heating process, your dog would become ill and under-
nourished from eating the nutritionally dead contents. In fact, the
food would not pass AAFCO standards.

"Premixes are a bad idea for two reasons. One, nearly every premix is
manufactured in India or China where production costs are low and
standards are even lower. The frightening part is that pet owners
can’t tell if the premix in their food comes from China because it
does not have to be listed on the label.

"The second problem with premixes is that they are manufactured with
synthetic vitamins and minerals. These synthetic vitamins are
isomers, or isolated forms. Synthetic vitamins do not attach to a
protein that the body can understand. The body then sees it as a drug,
and the liver has to make it metabolically active. This can cause
toxicity in the body."

The solution? Feed real, unprocessed foods!
