The pet food industry, a billion-dollar, unregulated operation, feeds on the garbage that otherwise would wind up in landfills or be transformed into fertilizer. The hidden ingredients in a can of commercial pet food may include road kill and the rendered remains of cats and dogs. The pet food industry claims that its products constitute a “complete and balanced diet” but, in reality, commercial pet food is unfit for human or animal consumption.

“Vegetable protein”, the mainstay of dry dog foods, includes ground yellow corn, wheat shorts and middlings, soybean meal, rice husks, peanut meal and peanut shells (identified as “cellulose” on pet food labels). These often are little more than the sweepings from milling room floors. Stripped of their oil, germ and bran, these “proteins” are deficient in essential fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants. “Animal protein” in commercial pet foods can include diseased meat, road kill, contaminated material from slaughterhouses, fecal matter, rendered cats and dogs and poultry feathers. The major source of animal protein comes from dead-stock removal operations that supply so-called “4-D” animals-dead, diseased, dying or disabled-to “receiving plants” for hide, fat and meat removal. The meat (after being doused with charcoal and marked “unfit for human consumption”) may then be sold for pet food.

Rendering plants process decomposing animal carcasses, large road kill and euthanized dogs and cats into a dry protein product that is sold to the pet food industry. One small plant in Quebec, Ontario, renders 10 tons (22,000 pounds) of dogs and cats per week. The Quebec Ministry of Agriculture states that “the fur is not removed from dogs and cats” and that “dead animals are cooked together with viscera, bones and fat at 115° C (235° F) for 20 minutes”.

The US Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is aware of the use of rendered dogs and cats in pet foods, but has stated: “CVM has not acted to specifically prohibit the rendering of pets. However, that is not to say that the practice of using this material in pet food is condoned by the CVM.”

In both the US and Canada, the pet food industry is virtually self-regulated. In the US, the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) sets guidelines and definitions for animal feed, including pet foods. In Canada, the most prominent control is the “Labeling Act”, simply requiring product labels to state the name and address of the manufacturer, the weight of the product and whether it is dog or cat food. The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) and the Pet Food Association of Canada (PFAC) are voluntary organizations that, for the most part, rely on the integrity of the companies they certify to assure that product ingredients do not fall below minimum standards.

The majority-85 to 90% the pet food sold in Canada is manufactured by US-based multinationals. Under the terms of the US-Canada Free Trade Agreement, neither the CVMA nor PFAC exercises any control over the ingredients in cans of US pet food.

Pet food industry advertising promotes the idea that, to keep pets healthy, one must feed them commercially formulated pet foods. But such a diet contributes to cancer, fatal diseases, skin problems, allergies, hypertension, kidney and liver failure, heart disease and dental problems.

I agree, its best to cook for your pet. I saw a segment on Martha Stewart recently about overweight pets and they said the cause is that most dry dog food contains mostly corn products and little nutrition. Then you add the recent scares with commercial pet food, you must do what is best for your pet! I was so glad when I found Dog Food Secrets on the web.

“Dog Food Secrets” is a must read for anyone who truely loves their dog. Dog Food Secrets teaches you the real dangers of commercial dog food. Thousands of dogs in the United States get sick or die every day because of the dog food they are eating. Many of these dogs die painful deaths and much earlier than expected. Despite many companies marketing, there are very few commercial dog foods which are actually healthy. Labels on dog food packages which say either “preservative-free”, “chemical-free”, or “all-natural ingredients” are not always telling the truth. Dog Food Secrets exposes much of this mis-information. Most dog food companies use preservatives in their dog food products is because they increase the shelf life of the dog food and maximizes the dog food companies profits. Many dog foods contain at least six deadly chemicals that have been banned from human foods. These chemicals have been known to cause the following health problems in humans: skin cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, spleen cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, liver dysfunction, birth defects, immune system collapse, leukemia, severe allergic reactions, blindness, hair loss, chronic diarrhea, major organ failure, and behavioral problems.

The food you choose to feed your dog directly affects his energy level and overall health. I would strongly suggest that anyone who loves their dog should stop feeding them commercial dog food unless they are 100% sure that the dog food they are buying is healthy for their dog. Dog Food Secrets not only teaches you how terrible commercial dog food can be, but they also teach you of healthy alternatives. They also give you a huge collection of healthy, well-balanced dog food recipes. Dog Food Secrets also gives you a list of healthy commercial dog foods. Basically the Dog Food Secrets course is a step-by-step survival guide which helps your dog to live a longer and healthier life.

The Dog Food Secrets package can be purchased online for as little $27.00. Also Dog Food Secrets offers an 8 week full money back guarantee, with no questions asked. The Dog Food Secrets course is great because not only does it show you all negative things that could harm your dog, but it also shows you all the positive things you can do to make your dog even healthier.
