Bad Dog Food - When Good Dogs Eat Contaminated Food By Michael Lee

With all the recent and controversial pet food recalls, it is no wonder that pet owners have resorted to making home made dog food for their furry friends in lieu of commercial and, quite possibly, bad dog food and cat food considered as contaminated. So what's all the fuss about? What horrible things can bad contaminated dog food do to your canine companion, and more importantly, what can you do to prevent it? Just what is in these supposedly nutritionally balanced meals that has got animal lovers in an uproar?

We humans are discouraged from consuming too much canned goods for various health reasons. The same holds true for dogs.

Moist dog food is packed in cans. You can just imagine all the chemicals and preservatives injected into the whole package, mostly to add flavor, enhance palatability, and even improve appearance.

What's truly disconcerting is the fact that animal by-products, the main components of pet food, are already bombarded with chemicals long before they reach the processing plant. So even if the can's label tells you otherwise, there really is no such thing as a "No Preservatives" guarantee.

Dry dog food is even worse. Since canning in itself is already a preserving process, moist dog food contains less of the hazardous chemicals used to prolong shelf life compared with its dry counterpart.

Another problem is the ingredients themselves, usually meat, poultry, and grains. Whatever parts are considered unfit for human consumption, such as innards, blood, and bones, make up the by-products that are ground and blended into what we know as pet food. In reality, they are bad dog food.

The thing is, it is not always slaughtered animals that make their way into these meals, but oftentimes, diseased carcasses and euthanized creatures are included also. And the drugs and bacteria, like Salmonella and Escherichia coli, thriving in these 'meats' do not always die during processing, which incidentally, destroys much of the nutritional content as well.

Furthermore, when moldy grain is thrown in, as well as all the other synthetic and unnatural additives the numbers of which are too many to count with both hands, you then have a lethal canine cocktail. It doesn't take a nutrition expert to know that this spells disaster for the end user, i.e., innocent little Fido.

Harmful effects of bad dog food include vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. But that's just for starters. The more dangerous toxins, like butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and ethoxyquin, which are all permitted in small doses, can cause cancer, organ failure, and ultimately, death when consumed over a long period.

So what can you, the dog owner, do about all this? Voice your concerns. Contact pet food companies and call for better quality products so you get your money's worth. Or try making your own home made dog food. At least then, you can be sure about what your beloved pet is actually eating and you will have peace of mind for the both of you. If you sense something may be wrong, consult your veterinarian immediately.

Your ever-loyal and devoted dog deserves more than just a dishful of potentially contaminated bad dog food. Don't you think it's time you showed him just that?
