Did you know you are being cheated by the dog food manufacturers about the proteins you are paying for in your dog’s commercial food.
3 Good Proteins:
Muscle meats
Eggs
Organ meats (such as liver) .
3 Worthless Proteins:
Wheat
Corn
Barley
What’s the Point in Knowing This?
Dog food manufacturers must have at least 9% protein in their food (called the Guaranteed Analysis) or they are required to print on the label that the food is not nutritionally adequate.
So how dog food companies cut this corner? They use cheap vegetable proteins like wheat, corn and barley to meet the Guaranteed Analysis requirements AND keep their profits high by not using more expensive meat… all at the expense of your precious pet’s health.
Next time I’ll show you 8 signs of protein deficiency.

How can caring pet owners know whether the pet food they are feeding their furbabies is good for them or even dangerous?
After having to take a sabbatical due to a personal injury, I’m now back in full swing.
I want every pet owner in America to learn the things about pet food that I’ve had to learn the hard way.
They’re your pets and they depend on you to do what is best for them.
And in this economy, there are less expensive and healthier ways to feed your four-legged friends.
Today I’ll start with a pet food industry “loophole” you should know about:
Today’s Tip: How to Tell When Dog Food Is Nutritionally Adequate
Read the label if you want to know what’s going into your dog.
Makes sense, right?
But that label doesn’t tell the whole story. There are regulatory loopholes and that’s not good news. Find out more by reading my Dog Food Secrets book (http://www.thedogfoodconspiracy.com/dog-food-secrets-np.php).
You’ll be shocked!
Is Your Dog’s Food Nutritionally Adequate?
The nutritionally adequate statement must appear whenever a manufacturer makes these or similar claims:
Complete
Balanced
100% Nutritious
However, manufacturers are permitted by law to sell dog food that is not nutritionally adequate as long as they put this statement on the label:
“This product is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding.”
But most of us have no idea to read the label for these things, and that’s scary.
So, is Commercial Dog Food Really Safe?
You decide.
But if all this protection is in place, how in the heck did we lose so many dogs and cats to the 2007 Pet Food Crisis?
There’s no way that average dog owners like us have a clue what a dog food label is really saying. Manufacturers know that and they use it to their advantage.
The only way you can make the right choices for your dog is to know what the manufacturers know.
