Dog Training Ultimate Guide

Recently we have read of many manufacturers recalling their dog food for safety reasons. This has made many wonder if they are feeding their animals safe dog food. And well it should, because safe dog food is not easy to find at your grocery store. Commercially made dog food companies don’t make their labels easy to read. In fact they are confusing and difficult to comprehend. That’s because the food processors, the grocery industry and the pet food manufacturers have made every effort to fight the FDA to keep the labels from being easily understood.

And no wonder. Have you ever noticed a dog food label that includes meat meal? If so, did you wonder what meat meal is? Sounds pretty innocent. Meat meal. It’s very concise. Meat meal.

Meat meal generally comes from rendering plants. That is to say, it is made up of a slow stew of dead carcasses of animals from varying sources. These include animals euthanized at animal centers and in zoos. It also includes putrid road kill that is picked up by state and county road crews. Often times these animals are still wearing flea collars, have I.D. Tags, and are even wrapped in plastic bags which are all put into the rendering vat to be turned into meat meal. Does that sound like safe dog food?

Many vets and animal activists have warned that commercial dog food contains residues of the very lethal chemicals that were used to put the animal down. Dogs and cats that eat this meat meal have been riddled with diseases of the liver, kidney, immune system, and other vital organs. Cancers are common and vets report dogs loaded with tumors whose life spans are cut in half because of the dangerous nature of commercial dog food. Not exactly safe dog food.
