Purina ONE Healthy Weight Dry - Healthy Dog Foods?

Ask Susan Peters - Purina Healthy Dog Foods?

Purina Pet Food has done an awful job of making healthy dog foods. Healthy dog foods do not include needless grains and other pet health damaging ingredients.

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.

Poultry could be chicken or turkey 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 but the ones included in the mess are just fine. Meal means the floor sweepings have had the water removed and the feathers, poultry poo, whatever has hit the floor is now concentrated.

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 and not an added ingredient the pet food company would not have to list natural flavor as a seperate ingredient.

Beef Tallow - Used to encourage a pet to eat a product the pet would not normally eat.

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

Garlic - Known to be toxic to cats and dogs.

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!

The use of Corn, Wheat, and Soy are causing such awful conditions in pets including:

• Dry and itchy skin
• Fever
• Ear aches
• Ear infections
• Hot Spots on the skin
• Bad breath
• Dental disease
• IBD
• Hair loss
• Sore feet
• Abnormal nail growth
• Bloat
• Weight gain
• Tumors
• Moles and warts
• Seizures
• Blindness
• Deafness
• Heart conditions
• Kidney conditions
• Liver conditions
• Early pet death

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