The quantity of meat, originally used in dry dog food, has been reduced over the last decade and has been replaced with cheap and possibly harmful cereal and grain products by many reduced quality dog food companies. Nutritionally, how each individual puppy processes the nutrients that are in these products greatly depends upon how easy to digest each of the particular grains may be.

The particular amount of nutrients your dog may get specifically depends on what the quantity and type of filler in the brand you are feeding a dog. Canines can usually absorb almost all of the carbohydrates in certain grains, such as white-colored rice, but cannot digest many of the others like almond shells.

As much as twenty percent of the nutritional value of other embryon, such as oats, beans and wheat can be poor or even lost completely. The nutritional value of corn and carrots is also much less than that of rice. And some other elements used as filler in dry dog food like, peanut shells, cotton hulls, feathers, etc . have simply no nutritional value whatsoever, and are only used to hold the dry pet food nuggets together or just to make your dog feel complete! These fillers can be harmful to your dog and yet, there are many unethical manufacturers who use them, anyway.

Because grain is necessary to keep the nuggets of dry dog food together, it requires to equal at least fifty percent of the total ingredients. In case you are feeding a dog these foods every day, you could be giving him or her one hundred percent more grain than canines normally eat in the outrageous or that they actually need.

If you check the labels on inexpensive dry dog food bags, you'll find two of the top 3 ingredients listed are usually some kind of grain product... ground corn, corn gluten meal, brewers rice, beet pulp, down and cotton hulls are some of the most frequently used. Why? Since its components much less expensive, "cheaper" ingredients than meat.

There was an enormous recall by Nature's Recipe in 1995 (they drawn thousands of tons of dry dog food off of the shelves) that caused them to lose approximately twenty million dollars. This particular all came about when consumers that complained their dogs had been vomiting and had loss of appetite. A fungus that created vomitoxin (a toxic substance produced by mold) was located to have contaminated the wheat in that brand.

Although it leads to vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, etc ., vomitoxin is less severe than most toxins. The more dangerous toxins can cause weight reduction, liver damage, lameness, and even death, as seen in the particular Doane case. What happened next should give almost all dog care givers cause to pause and question what's happening with our so called "Watch Dogs" in the gov departments.

Then again, in 1999, another fungal toxin was identified that killed 25 dogs. This caused the remember of dry dog food made by Doane Pet Treatment (maker of O'l Roy, Walmart's brand, plus 53 other brands).

The incident with Nature's Recipe motivated the FDA to get involved out of concern, but for just the human population and not the more than 250 dogs who else got sick. It was concluded that the discovery of vomitoxin in Nature's Recipe wasn't much of a threat to the "human" population because "the grain that would go into pet meals are not a high quality grain". What! So does that mean producers have a green light to poison our dogs with low quality or contaminated ingredients?

Dog food manufacturers also use almond as a protein for energy and to add bulk towards the food so that when a dog eats a product containing me llaman it will feel more satisfied. Some dogs do well along with soy while others experience gas. Soy is also used like a source of protein in vegetarian dog foods.

And now regarding corn... did you know corn kills dogs? Most of the dry brand names on store shelves is loaded with corn, a cheap filler. This is not exactly the same corn humans eat, it's feed grade corn (the kind fed to cattle), or cheap feed ingrown toenail remnants. Even corn meal dust swept up from the work factory floor, counts as "corn" to be used in our dog's food. This same corn may even have been condemned for human being consumption, but there are no limits to the amount pesticide contamination set for our pets' foods.

If that were not bad enough, corn (which gives us both high fructose corn syrup along with corn oil) is fattening. Why are so many dogs overweight and suffer from diabetes... I wonder if it has anything to perform with corn being used as filler in so many dried out dog foods?

Dog food industry critics observe that most of the ingredients used as humectants -- ingredients such as hammer toe syrup and corn gluten meal which bind drinking water to prevent oxidation-- also bind the water in such a way that the food really sticks to the colon and may cause blockage. The congestion of the colon may cause an increased risk of cancer of the intestinal tract or rectum.

The presence of corn products in dry pet dog food - particularly if they are high on the list of substances - may indicate that corn has been used rather than more expensive alternative. About 25% of the corn produced in typically the U. S. today is genetically modified. Dogs possess a difficult time digesting corn.

Corn gluten meal in k9 food is a concentrated source of protein that can be substituted intended for costlier animal protein. In many bargain brands, corn gluten meal provides a large proportion or even the total amount of necessary protein listed in the food label rather than more digestible forms of healthy proteins such as meat.

Then there's wheat... wheat is a primary ingredient in many dry dog foods. The wheat that is used in these products we're feeding a dog is not what's utilized in our breads, cakes, cereals, etc . It's usually the "tail of the mill" (that's a clever way of saying the sweepings of leftovers on the floor after everything else in the mill continues to be processed), wheat germ meal... this is referred to as "middlings in addition to shorts" (same thing as "tail of the mill"... yet another way of saying it).

So , lets take a look at what we right now know so far, about what goes into those attractively designed plus cleverly named bags on store shelves... first there's the unhealthy and toxic meats (I told you about that in my earlier articles), converted (rendered) so it can be legally used in our own dog foods. Now, let's see... what else can there be that's very, very cheap?

Ahh yes, there's livestock-grade feed (that's the one the FDA showed no concern regarding with the contamination found in dog food), which is normally the primary ingredient the manufacturers use... not because dogs need it within large amounts, but because it's the cheapest food around and may add bulk. But , there are even cheaper ingredients used, for instance... waste dust, floor sweepings, husks, rejects from the verification process for flour, straw, sand, dirt, etc . Exactly how perfect for our dog's daily diet! Yuckkk!

Now, if they were starting to call this stuff scraps, no one would buy it so that they call it "middlings" (isn't that a cute name! ), customers will never know what it really is. Then there's ground upward bones, heads, feet, feathers, etc ., they name that will "poultry meal, fish meal, etc . "... doesn't in which sound much better than scraps?
