Pro Plan Puppy Chicken & Rice Dry Healthy Dog Foods?- Ask Susan Peters
Pet Food Danger Gauge 53% - Dangerous and Toxic To Pets
Animal digest. How about that ... we don't even know from which animal the digested tissue came from. If this company wanted us to know our pets were eating beef poop the company would say "Beef digest". Since this company chooses to say "animal" the animal can be anything from dog, cat, rat, road kill or whatever. AAFCO doesn't care that manure is included in the pet food as long as the temperature at the time of cooking is brought to a certain degree.
Now there are those people out there who simply refuse to believe a pet food company would use manure in their pet's foods. Let me ask you to think on this issue for just a minute and then see what you decide. Let's take a person, for instance, when a person begins the "digestion" process food is placed in the mouth for chewing. Digestion continues as the food passes to the stomach and is broken down to pass into the intestines for further digestion. Digestion is complete once the person has had a bowl movement and fully evacuated the food from the human body. Why would obtaining animal digest be any different from human digest?
Animal Fats - Used to encourage a pet to eat ingredients they normally would not eat. Ingestion may lead to gastrointestinal upset or even pancreatitis. This can be a very painful condition for dogs. In addition, most companion animals do not need extra fat in their diets.
Brewer's rice and brewer's dried yeast are by-products of beer production. There you go, your little pet gets what is left over after a beer run, the stuff not fit for human consumption. Alcohols can cause the same damage to an animal's liver and brain as they cause in humans. But the effects can be deadly on animals since they are much smaller than us. The smaller the animal, the more deadly the effects can be. Even a small amount of alcohol may cause vomiting and damage the liver and brain. . 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.
Corn - Ground corn, corn bran and corn gluten meal are cheap fillers used by pet food companies to reduce production costs. Gluten is a super concentrated mix as is meal. So the corn in this batch is actually at least 10 times the amount listed.
The use of Corn, Wheat, and Soy are causing such awful conditions in pets including:
- Abnormal nail growth
- Bad breath
- Blindness
- Bloat
- Cancer
- CRF
- Cushings Disease
- Deafness
- Dental disease
- Dry and itchy skin
- Ear aches
- Ear infections
- Early pet death
- Fever
- Hair loss
- Heart conditions
- Hot Spots on the skin
- IBD
- Kidney conditions
- Liver conditions
- Moles and warts
- Seizures
- Sore feet
- Tumors
- Weight gain
Garlic is known to be toxic to cats and dogs.
Calcium Phosphate - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - It is used as a feed for poultry.
Choline chloride is mass produced and is an important additive in feed especially for chicken where it accelerates growth. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Ferrous sulfate - Overdose symptoms may include nausea, severe stomach pain, bloody diarrhea, coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds, shallow breathing, weak and rapid pulse, pale skin, blue lips, and seizure (convulsions). - from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Ferrous sulfate is applied for the purification of water by flocculation and for phosphate removal in municipal and industrial sewage treatment plants to prevent eutrophication of surface water bodies.
Calcium Carbonate - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It is commonly called chalk.
Calcium Iodate - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - an oxidant added to lotions and ointments as an antiseptic and deodorant.
Menadione sodium bisulfite - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - causes toxicity in liver cells, weakens the immune system, anemia, vomiting, irritation of skin, allergic reactions, flaking skin, and hot spots. Moreover, menadione supplements have been banned by the FDA because of their high toxicity. Sodium bisulfite is used in almost all commercial wines, to prevent oxidation and preserve flavor. In fruit canning, sodium bisulfite is used to prevent browning (caused by oxidation) and to kill microbes.
In the case of wine making, Sodium bisulfite releases sulfur dioxide gas when added to water or products containing water. The sulfur dioxide kills yeasts, fungi, and bacteria in the grape juice before fermentation. When the sulfur dioxide levels have subsided (about 24 hours), fresh yeast is added for fermentation.
It is later added to bottled wine to prevent oxidation (which makes vinegar), and to protect the color of the wine from oxidation, which causes browning. The sulfur dioxide displaces oxygen in the bottle and dissolved in the wine. Oxidized wine can turn orange or brown, and taste like raisins or cough syrup. The concentration is sometimes high enough to cause serious allergic reactions.
Class Action - Some people found out what a poor pet food this company produces a little too late. Their pets became ill and many have died due to eating Pet Food. Those people and others who are upset over the pet food company making such a poor quality pet food has filed a Class Action against them. 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.
Recalls - this company has a history of pet food recalls.
Potassium Chloride - used as the third of a three drug combination in judicial execution through lethal injection and used for making fertilizer.
Salt should not be added pets diets. This recipe is loaded with salts.
Sodium selenite is mainly used in the manufacture of colorless glass - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Rosa,
This pet food is toxic to pets yet designed to feed to a puppy. If you had not read the review watching the commercial would have made you feel good. Purina makes me angry, too.
Susan
There are so many out there I'm sure that will watch that and not know. I wish there were commercials telling the truth. you are good at informing and I am glad I found your hub!
Rosa,
I am glad you found this hub, too! How did you find me?
Aren't the commercials something? Humph!
Susan
What kind of food do you suggest for puppies?
Susan Peters should be sued.. plz read up on all her advice on pet foods... she will be sued for sure
first of all jim sthu. second i am glad my pets are off the "dumpster diet" this crud killed Fluffy ( a lovely golden poodle cross)at only 8 months she got renal failure and died. vet said the food caused it. they now get Oven Baked mixed with leftover chicken.

That commercial makes me angry...they make it sound like such a nutrious, healthy food for a dog...when in reality it is harmful.
