Poisoned Dog Food

Are You Buying Poisoned Dog Food?

Have you ever scanned the ingredients in a commercial dog food and thought, "What the hell is this? It can't be healthy. I can't even pronounce it." Unfortunately, if your dog eats ordinary, processed dog food, your dog probably eats things that are a whole lot worse than what you might have found him chewing on in your neighbors backyard yesterday. Be warned. Your dog is eating poisoned dog food without you even realizing it.

Most commercial dog foods available in stores today are so highly processed and full of preservatives and chemicals, that they aren't any better for our dogs than Twinkies (TM) are for humans.

Commercial Dog Food Ingredients

Commercial, processed dog food contain cheap ingredients, unhealthy fillers, unhealthy preservatives or poisonous chemicals. Many dog foods advertised as "preservative-free" do, in fact, contain preservatives. Manufacturers don't have to list preservatives that they themselves did not add.

Many preservatives make their way into dog food at rendering plants before the meat is even sent to the manufacturer. An analysis of several dog foods labeled "chemical free" or "all natural ingredients" found synthetic antioxidants in all samples.

Although you won't see it on the label, since it is often added at the rendering plant and not by the manufacturer, ethoxyquin (EQ) is used to preserve most dry dog food. EQ is the most powerful of all preservatives and may be the most toxic.

Rendering plant workers that have been exposed to it denoted side effects similar to those of Agent Orange:

* A dramatic rise in liver or kidney damage
* Cancerous skin lesions
* Hair loss
* Blindness
* Leukemia
* Fetal abnormalities
* Chronic diarrhea

In animals, EQ has been linked to:

* Immune deficiency syndrome
* Spleen, stomach, and liver cancers
* And a host of allergies

The New York State Food Laboratory reported that it found aminopterin in food from the palatability studies. Director Daniel Rice has stated that aminopterin was a cancer drug that was used about 50 years ago in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency later banned use of the toxin as a rodenticide in this country.

The "animal" or "meat by-products", that are often the first or second ingredient listed on your commercial dog food packages, are biodegradable wastes that we would never want to eat ourselves.

These are parts that Americans rarely consume as they are not intended for human consumption. These parts come from animal carcasses, and include, but are not limited to, animal heads, organs, lungs, bones, blood, skin, hoofs, hair, partially defatted low temperature fatty tissue, stomachs, intestines and feces.

Where Do They Get The Animal and Meat By-Products?

The origins of these "animal" by-products and so called "meat" by-products include catering waste (all waste food from restaurants, catering facilities, central kitchens, slaughterhouses and household kitchens). It might also contain parts from sick or dying animals that can come from slaughterhouses or euthanized animals from animal shelters. (This photo is showing euthanized dogs about to be processed into commercial dog food.

The city of Los Angeles alone, for example, sends some two hundred tons of euthanized cats and dogs to a dog food plant every month.

The worst is that dog food companies don't stop with pets. Your dog is also consuming euthanized animals from zoos, animal control and putrid, decaying road kill.

Before these animal parts and euthanized animals are shipped to the rendering plant, they are "denatured." This means that crude carbolic acid, cresylic disinfectant, or citronella, is sprayed on the product.

The true horror is the drug used to kill these stray and abandoned animals, Sodium Pentobarbital, is not broken down by the manufacturing process and is still present in active form in your dog's food!!

Before these poisoned animal parts can be used to make your poisoned dog food, they are taken to the rendering plants where they are ground into the meat by-products and are then shipped as meal to dog food processors.

The Manufacturing Plants

Next, the manufacturers combine the meal with carbohydrates such as corn, thickeners like guar gum, vitamins, minerals, food coloring and preservatives. By the way, dogs are color blind and don't care what color their dog food is. The food coloring that is also added to their food, is there to appeal to the human eye, not the dogs.

To make wet food, this grotesque glop is then heated in a pressure cooker and canned or sealed in a pouch.

For dry pellets, all of these dead animals, and other ghastly materials, are then processed until the portion left over for dog food production is a brown powder, which consists of 25% fecal matter! The stuff is then heated, cut into tiny pieces, dried, and then wrapped for shipment.

The high end brands tend to have fixed formulas, while cheaper brands often change recipes to include ingredients that happen to be selling cheap at the time of processing. (They might decide to replace corn with wheat, for example, if wheat prices are especially low.) However, I did say "tend to have", as some of the higher end, so called premiums foods are not any better, nutritionally, than some of the least expensive generic dog food.

Federal Law Rulings On Dog Food Inspections In The United States

Federal law does not mandate the frequency of inspections or premarket approval of foods under FDA jurisdiction, unlike the meat and egg products under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture. The FDA regulates much more of the food supply with much less money than the USDA, according to the Government Accountability Office.

Dr. Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine, stated that regulation of human and animal food doesn't differ substantially.

The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires that foods be pure and wholesome and that they contain no harmful or deleterious substances, all though the act does not specify how manufacturers should ensure safety.

The agency has limited resources for inspecting animal food and drugs, so it focuses inspections on manufacturers of drugs and of feed for food-producing animals, not for dog food.

Usually an inspection is only conducted when there has been a complaint, such as the recent dog food poisoning of the suspected batch of wheat gluten from China.

What Kind of Dog Food Should You Feed Your Dog?

So many people have dogs for pets without knowing what they should be feeding their dogs or what the proper care for their dogs are.

They take the easy route of buying the cheapest dog food that they can find and when it's time to feed their pet, they just open a can or two, dump it into the dogs bowl and they are done.

Most dogs will eat just about anything especially when they are hungry and are not finicky eaters like some cats can be.

They can't tell you that by taking the quick and easy route, you are the one causing your pet allergies, or perhaps your pets hair will start falling out or he will develop lesions on his skin, or he has problems with his bowel movements or his urinary track.

Quick and easy isn't always best. I know how difficult it can be in our busy lives to find the time to make nutritional meals for our pets, but that really isn't the issue as humans are adaptable creatures and are willing to adapt and adjust when the need is there.

The main problem is that most humans don't have a clue as to what their dogs need to eat for optimum health.

The Answer To: "What is a Healthy Dog Diet" can be read on this Squidoo lens that I created to educate people as to what their dog needs to be eating and what their dogs should not be eating.

Tips For Dog Food Safety

* Don't assume that your dog should eat what humans eat.

* "People food" such as chocolate, grapes, raisins, apple & pear seeds, onions and onion powder can be either difficult for your dog to digest or toxic to his system.

* Macadamia nuts, coffee and salt are other human foods that should not should not be fed.

* Check with your veterinarian to be sure that the table scraps you are feeding your dog are on the safe list.

* There are only 9 packaged dog foods, in my opinion, that are truly safe and healthy for your dog and IAMS dog food is not one of them. IAMS is one of the worst, yet they demand a premium price.

* If you want to quit feeding your pooch poisoned dog food, learn to make your own and to incorporate raw food into his diet.

7 Steps To Selecting The Perfect Dog Food Bowl

Here you will find explanations of the various dog food feeding containers.

This is a piece of cake to figure out, right? Plastic, ceramic or stainless steel are your dog's choices.

Hold on for a hot New York second. Does your dog have arthritis in his joints, a bad back or digestive problems? Does your dog travel a lot with you? Do you travel a lot without your dog? Perhaps you would just like to have a dog food bowl that matches your decor.

Not a problem, here's the answer to selecting the right dog food bowl...

By reading these steps you will have the necessary information to make the selections that are perfect for your lifestyle.

Step 1

Plastic Dog Food Bowls

Plastic bowls are very inexpensive and come in a variety of colors, however, I do NOT recommend them. The problem with plastic is that they absorb the toxins that they come into contact with and these toxins can be absorbed into you dogs system, making him ill.

Dogs also tend to chew them up. Swallowing plastic pieces can become extremely dangerous. The worst case scenario is that these pieces are swallowed and may become lodged in your pooch's throat.

Don't Let Your Dog Do This

Step 2

Stainless Steel Dog Food Bowls

Traditional stainless steel bowls are economical, attractive in most any kitchen, and are a breeze to clean. Stainless steel dog bowls will also keep your puppy's drinking water nice and cool. Do your research to seek out stainless steel bowls with a rubber rim on the bottom of the bowl. The rubber rim will keep the bowl from tipping over and getting nosed around.

Amazon Price: $10.56 (as of 11/08/2009)

Step 3

Stoneware or Ceramic Dog Food Bowls

Both stoneware and ceramic dog food bowls are sturdy and can come in a wide variety of colors and designs to coordinate with your decor.

Many companies will also customize your dog food bowl with your dog's name, family name or any slogan that you choose. Ceramic dishes will also keep your pets water nice and cool.

These types often come in handy sets with matching treat jars as well.

Remember to make sure that they are dishwasher safe, unless of course, you only wash by hand.

Look for stoneware dishes that feature a high-glaze finish and that are dishwasher safe and lead free. Please remember to check on this as many items coming out of China do contain lead and will poison your dog. Usually, but not always, the high-glaze finish will mask the leaded paint until, with normal wear and tear, the glaze begins to chip away.

Step 4

Elevated Dog Food Bowls

Elevated, or raised, dog food bowls are fabulous. They are not only elegant to look at, but some even come with their own food-storage bins.

These types of dog food bowls are much easier to use for older dogs, who have contracted joint or arthritic conditions.

The elevated design brings your dog's food up to his ideal feeding level to minimize digestion and bloat problems while reducing strain on his joints and muscles.

Regardless of the size of your dog, the elevated dog food bowls will be beneficial to your dogs digestion, since your dog stands up straighter to gobble his food down.

Raised dog food feeders also work very well for any long-eared breed, such as basset hounds, as the raised dog food bowls prevent those long ears from dragging in the food, or on the floor, while they eat.

Electronic Dog Food Feeders

An electronic feeder or an automated feeder may be the answer for people on the go.

Does your career keep you working late hours? Perhaps your family has planned an over night visit with Aunt Maggie or maybe you're a party animal and you're out playing until the wee hours of the morning.

An electronic feeder will automatically release a preset amount of food into your dog's dish according to the times you set, usually up to three times.

This does NOT mean for your dog to be left alone for extended periods of time on a regular bases.

Step 7

Dog Food Place Mats

The last solution for the ease of feeding your dog are the place mats that go under the dishes.

The place mats collect anything that may fall to the floor. They keep the floor clean and make cleanup a breeze.

Simply pick up the mat when your dog is finished eating and wash it off.

Now that you are able to make the right choice for your unique lifestyle, your pooch is ready to munch!
