Calculating Dog Food Ingredient Percentages

I’m so lucky to be subscribed to the newsletter of the man who wrote “Dog Food Secrets” and exposed The Multi-Billion $ Dog Food Conspiracy, Andrew Lewis.

Today, I want to share this important tip with you, until you can get your own newsletter subscription.

Today’s Tip: The Secret To Uncovering the Truth About Dog Food Labels

Discover what the dog food manufacturers aren’t telling you.

And if you haven’t watched Andrew’s 8 minute commercial dog food industry exposed video (http://www.secretdogvideo.com) yet, I highly recommend you do for a quick “heads-up” on what’s going into dog food you may be buying.

What’s in a Name?

Here’s a little on how to decipher AAFCO-approved dog food names.

Let’s look at these 4 product names:

1. Chicken Dog Food
2. Chicken Dinner For Dogs
3. Dog Food with Chicken
4. Chicken Flavor Dog Food

There are all basically the same thing, right?

Wrong, very wrong (don’t feel bad, we all thought they were all the same thing too).

The Shocking Truth Is..

Let me tell you what those labels REALLY mean:

1. Chicken Dog Food - ingredients are at least 95% chicken before water added
2. Chicken Dinner for Dogs - ingredients are 25-95% chicken before water added
3. Dog Food With Chicken - ingredients are at least 3% chicken before water added (yes only 3%!)
4. Chicken Flavor Dog Food - no minimum percentage of chicken required, only that there is enough chicken to taste it!

Concerned? You should be. There are plenty of other “hidden secrets” to dog food that will curl your toes. Discover them all when you download your copy of Dog Food SECRETS

Read it and discover how to begin adding flavor and health into your dog’s life.

My Sasha/Kaz/TaiTai had long and happy lives. We lost them (peacefully) this year, each at the age of 18.

SuSu (Sasha & Kaz’s daughter) still snuggles with me every day and night and is a bundle of motion, even though she will be 17 years old in September.

All of our rescues follow the healthy nutritional guidelines that the dog food industry wishes we didn’t know. After all, at present we have 36 dogs and 11 cats that are eating healthy, and enjoying it, instead of gobbling down the poisonous junk in most of the commercial dog foods on the market.

Stay tuned for more tips from the newsletter, more heathy info for your furbabies and MORE treacherous ingredients to look out for.

I’ve been rescuing dogs, cats and turtles since I was a small girl. As an adult, my husband and I’ve maintained Shepherd’s Haven Sanctuary (a private No-Kill shelter for abused or abandoned dogs and cats) for almost 20 years.

Through those years, we learned many lessons about what is good and what is bad for the health of our treasured furkids.

During this difficult time in our nation’s economy, many pet lovers are scrambling to keep their darling pets fed, but a lot of those dog foods are in reality risky for the pets they love. I would like to start you on a journey of determining what is choice dog food for your furkid, in addition to helping you understand the dangers in that respect, all because of producer GREED.

Did you know that most commercial dog foods contain dead dogs and cats?

Did you know that the number one element in many commercial dog foods is corn, because it’s an inexpensive filler?

And that dogs can’t digest corn?

Did you know that even dog foods labeled “preservative free” can incorporate numerous preservatives because an FDA loophole allows the manufacturer to make that claim if they didn’t add any further preservatives to ingredients that already have them?

Did you know you’re paying for all that filler, and preservatives, and getting cheated?

And sorriest of all, many of these foods are actually dangerous for your canine companion?

Only you can protect your pet. You need to check what the commercial dog food producers don’t want you to know.

Dogs Cannot Digest Corn!

Take a look at the list of ingredients on the side of your dog food bag or can! Is Corn listed there?

Unless you are feeding a choice dog food, it’s probably listed as the first or second ingredient?

Why is that? Well, I’ll tell you why!

Corn is a cheap filler and it adds weight to the food, but it can’t be digested by canines.

See, the dog food companies can pack the foods they produce chock full of corn (and corn parts) and count that as protein in the food - because corn DOES contain protein.

However, since corn is indigestible to dogs, that protein slides right through dog digestive tracts into big, stinky poopies that are not pleasant to man or beast.

So what does this mean to you and your precious pooch?

• You are paying for filler that is converted to “Big Stinkies”, instead of nutrition for your pet. In other words, you are paying to bring more “Poo Poo” into your life.
• Your pet is getting filled up on stuff they can’t digest, so they are not getting good nutrition.
• Your dog probably acts like they are starving when it is feeding time, wants to overeat, and can, in fact become overweight easily from begging for your food or treats.
• Even if your dog isn’t fat on this diet, they are not getting proper nourishment to build good muscle.
• Eventually, you’ll see health problems and even shortened lifespans for your pet due to poor nutrition.
• You are being scammed and converting your dollars to, ahem, feces, so pet food manufacturers can make a profit from consumer ignorance.

First, I want you to check the ingredient label on the food you are currently feeding.

Second, check the second ingredient. If it says a meat MEAL (Chicken, beef, any poultry, or other animal MEAL) then you need to read my next post.

Times can be financially tough for many people right now. Too many pet owners are doing the best they can to keep their pets fed, BUT THEY ARE BEING RIPPED-OFF, all in the name of GREED!

In coming posts, I’ll share some better ways to feed that are much less expensive.
