Television commercials
and magazine advertisements for pet food would have
us believe that the meats, grains, and fats used in
these foods could grace our dining tables. Chicken,
beef, lamb, whole grains, and quality fats are supposedly
the composition of dog and cat food.
In my opinion, when
we purchase these bags and cans of commercial food,
we are in most cases purchasing garbage. Unequivocally,
I cannot state that all pet food falls into this category,
but I have yet to find one that I could, in all good
conscience, feed my dog or cats.
Pet food labels
can be deceiving. They only provide half the story.
The other half of the story is hidden behind obscure
ingredients listed on the labels
At first
I was shocked, but my shock turned to anger when I realized
how little the consumer is told about the actual contents
of the pet food.
