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! Cyndi |
