Hill's Prescription d/d® Duck & Green Pea Formula Dry Cat Food- Pet Food Danger Gauge - 67% Dangerous and Toxic To Pets

Healthy pet foods do not include needless grains and other pet health damaging ingredients.

Pea Fiber, pea bran, pea protein - cheap fillers used like potatoes or beet pulp. No real value in a cat or dog's diet.

Pork Fat and fish oil - used to encourage a pet to eat ingredients the cat or dog would normally not eat.

Ethoxyquin - Because manufacturers need to ensure that dry foods have a long shelf life (typically 12 months) to remain edible through shipping and storage, fats used in pet foods are preserved with either synthetic or "natural" preservatives. Synthetic preservatives include butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), propyl gallate, propylene glycol (also used as a less-toxic version of automotive antifreeze), and ethoxyquin.

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 the animal 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.

Choline chloride is mass produced and is an important additive in feed especially for chicken where it accelerates growth. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Salt - does not need to be added to a pet's diet.

Sodium selenite is mainly used in the manufacture of colorless glass - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Pet food producers are using ingredients unfit for human consumption which are killing our pets. The ingredients in pet food must be changed!

These companies need to be held accountable for the injuries to our pets and our best friends early deaths!
