Most human illness and disease is caused by poor diet and the same can be said about our pets. Pets are contracting cancer and diabetes in record numbers. If you read the ingredient list on the container of your pet's food you will see why. |
The only comment I don't agree with is that dogs are carnivores. They do eat vegetables. Actually, I think that dogs are scavengers, whereas animals like cats are hunters. I believe their stomachs are capable of digesting a lot of different things. That being said, I also agree that grain isn't one of the things a dog would normally eat, even if it was completely wild.
I see false information being disseminated by the cat food companies as well as dog food manufacturers. I get disgusted when i see cat food that contains whole grains and vegetables. Honestly, a cat IS a carnivor/hunter, and doesn't eat any of that stuff, EVER. I would never support a company that seems to know so little about the nutrition of the animal it is purporting to know about!
