Do You Know The Truth About Commercial Dog Food?

In earlier years dogs used to be fed any type of table scraps and sometimes had their meals prepared ahead of time. We ate all types of food and so did our animals, except for one major difference of today’s house pets, they didn’t eat a bite of commercial dog food.

Interestingly enough, dogs lived long lives. Considering the leap in information and nutritional research that we have today, commercial dog food has improved, but it is a little ironic that standard human food did so well just a few years back.

Pet Food Advertising Has Brainwashed Us

A lot has changed over the past 20 to 30 years. Most dog owners feel that feeding their pets commercial dog food makes the most sense. They believe that high quality dog food sold in stores is not only the most convenient way to feed their animals, but is thought to give their dogs and puppies the best nutritional value offered, even better than human food.

You hear this sort of thing over and over again whenever a discussion takes place about dog food.

Processed Food is still Processed Food

Try convincing people that dogs and humans need the same nutritional food, it’s not that easy. However, the point to acknowledge about processed food, is no matter how you look at it, or what you believe a dog should eat as opposed to humans, processed food is still processed food! This stuff is manufactured, which means it goes through various steps of processing, preservatives and other additives before it hits the can and is packaged. Every step that is taken to get this food to the store shelves reduces its quality and nullifies most of its nutritional value.
