Pet Food Danger Gauge 56% Dangerous and Toxic For Pets

Artificial Flavors/Colors - cause cancer.

We start with meat by-products. Meat can be any recycled animal, including cat or dog, but not one in particular. By-products are floor sweepings collected from a rendering plant. Anything that hits the floor and is not fit for human consumption is by-product. By-products can't have "added" feathers or hair but the ones included in the mess are just fine.

Use of by-products. By-products are ingredients used which are not fit for human consumption. By-products are often floor sweepings from a rendering plant. "Animal by-product" is rendered product from animal tissues, exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents except in such amounts as may occur unavoidably in good processing practices." Pet food labels contain the words "meal" or "byproduct" on the ingredient label. Inedible byproducts such as bone, fat, heads, hair, feet and condemned offal are used in commercial pet food. These materials are sent to a rendering plant for processing into pet food products.

People have found out what a poor cat food Purina is a little too late so their pets became ill and/or died. Those people and others who are upset over Purina making such a poor quality cat food has filed a Class Action against Purina.

Anytime I see a Class Action filed against a company and the products the company produces I would not advise feeding their products to your pets. The pet owners have filed a Class Action against the company for killing their pets.

Natural Flavor. I always like the way pet food companies hide the use of manure in the ingredients. Natural flavor is made from the manure of theanimal the pet food company wants the pet food to taste like. If natural flavor were an actual part of the ingredients then natural flavor would not have to be listed as a seperate ingredient.

Bone Meal - what use is bone to a cat? From what animal did the bone come from? Was the bone dug up from the pile of by-products on the floor?
