At the time of writing this article, there has been a
HUGE commercial dog and cat food poisoning scare in the USA - from contaminated
dog food. Around 60 Million cans and pouches of prepared pet food were
recalled.
Some owners lost their dogs and cats, because a type
of plastic called melamine had found its way into pet food! This was traced to
a Chinese sourced wheat gluten contamination with melamine. Why pet food
manufacturers use wheat gluten in pet food is a mystery - it is a VERY POOR
source of protein!
We make our own homemade dog food for a number of
reasons - one of them being the unknown composition of commercial dog food!
Why DOES canned or packet food look and smell so
similar, no matter what brand you buy?
