Choice Dog Food for Happy Healthy Dogs

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.
