Dog Food Recall

Do you think, just because a dog food brand is well known that it makes it the best dog food for your dog? After studying the matter I’ve come to the conclusion that people are aware of a  brand not because it’s particularly healthy but because it’s a brand that can afford some heavy advertising.

Sadly the best dog food for your dog is probably not even being sold in your Vets office. I’ll bet that 90% of Vets that sell dog food are selling Science Diet, yet it does not meet the requirements to make my top ten best dog food list.

Because my dog started to have Seizures, I started to research to find out how to pick the best dog food available to keep him healthy. After some research I could determine the contents of dog food better than my own food.

As I carried out more studies of dog food, the unethical scenario of commercial dog food became clearer to me, which was main problem.

I quickly realized if I was going to be able to find the best dog food for my dogs, I was going to need to educate myself about the Pet food industry.

The laws are weak and the industry is basically self regulated, allowing deceptive wording on labels and fooling pet owners into thinking they are buying nutritional value where none exists.

There is only one law out there that helps us choose the best dog food, and that is the one stating that all ingredients must be listed in order of decreasing weight. So if the first ingredient is a corn product, it doesn’t matter if the name on the bag says Chicken dinner delight, the main ingredient by weight is the corn product.

Do yourself a favor and ignore the name on the bag and take a look at the ingredient list to determine what the food really is. The first few ingredients sound like something you should probably know what is, but in reality they are probably something completely different.  Even so from that point on things become even more difficult.

As you start to look at ingredient lists, your going to see healthy sounding ingredients like dried egg products.  Don’t be fooled this particular ingredient is anything but healthy.  The only thing healthy in dried egg products is the word egg, and the last I checked you can’t eat a word. Why do you want to feed your dog food with ingredients that need to be marked not fit for human consumption before sold? The same thing with Chicken by-products, this is a far cry from any chicken you would throw on the grill for supper tonight.

Though some of the listed ingredients are self explanatory, there are preservatives and vitamins added that may be unnecessary and hard to identify.

I have learned what to look for in the best dog food on the market.

With this guide I have been able to go through a list of 150 brands of dog food, and come up with the best dog food top ten list. You want your dog to eat healthy and when you look at the ingredients on these 10 dog foods and then do a check against what is available at your vet’s, you will see the need to take a personally proactive approach.
