Do you know what goes in commercial pet food?

I have been researching this for quite some time, and it's disgusting. The government does not regulate what goes in our best friend's food, nearly enough....They allow road kill, euthanized animals, dead, diseased, dying, or disabled animals, along with known cancer-causing preservatives. Way too little nutrients and protein....Don't our precious pets deserve something better? Read the labels, everyone. Even the so-called "premium" diets fall way short.....They trust us with their life.....please make it count.

Great statement of purpose on behalf of our pets...Kudos. Yes, commercial pet food is appalling but least of all evils is what can be found at natural food stores. Better quality ingredients and less or no preservatives. Homemade diets are best.

UnidentifiedHobo	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM One important point is that on the nutitional info on the pack it may tell you th percentage of protein in th food, but some of these proteins are so low quality as to be hardly useful at all. Alot of beef in petfood is th carcasses of "uneconomically-viable cattle crosses" born to dairy herds. These small calves are produced only to keep th dairy cows lactating, and are shot soon after birth. Rated: +1Vote for this!
wakeupkaren	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM It's sad when are furry friends wind up with sickness because of what we feed them. Pets and cancer=crazy! Rated: +1Vote for this!
brimliner	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM Yes. All the meat scraps, trimmings, bones, blood, and spoiled product that we couldn't sell at the butcher shop went into a huge steel barrel called "the bone can". Once each week, a guy would come to our shop with a big truck. He would pay us by the pound for everything in the bone can. Then he would sell his collection to the pet food manufacturers. I am much more concerned about the toxic crap that goes into our human food, especially here in the United States! Rated: +1Vote for this!
