Commercial Dog Food is Killing Your Dog

By Larry Buhrandt

Canned Dog Food Health Investigation

That's right! Commercial dog food could be killing your dog, because of the preservatives it contains. Through extensive research, we discovered that dog food contains at 6 deadly chemicals that have been banned from human foods because they can cause the following:

Kidney cancer

Immune system collapse

Severe allergic reactions

Birth Defects

Blindness

Chronic Diarrhea

Bladder cancer

Skin cancer

Stomach cancer

Spleen cancer

Leukemia

Liver dysfunction

Major organ failure

Hair Loss and

Behavior problems, including increased aggressiveness

Don't be fooled by buying foods labeled as chemical and preservative free makes them safe, then think again. but it's just more lies! A lot of pet foods advertised as "preservative-free" , contain preservatives. Manufacturers are not required to have to list preservatives that they themselves did not add. How much sense does that make??

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

But don't expect to 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 pet food. Now, EQ is the most powerful of all preservatives and may be the most toxic. The use of EQ is permitted in pet food. But factory workers exposed to EQ exhibited side effects similar to those of agent orange: a rise in liver or kidney damage, cancerous skin lesions, hair loss, blindness, leukemia, fetal abnormalities, and chronic diarrhea.

EQ In animals has been linked to: immune deficiency syndrome, spleen, stomach, and liver cancers, and a host of allergies."

And one more thing, did you know that before the animal parts and by-product used for pet food are shipped from the slaughterhouse to the rendering plant, the by-product is denatured. Which means that crude carbolic acid, cresylic disinfectant, or citronella, is sprayed on the product. That's enough to make you sick!! And certainly it's enough to make your dog sick!!
