The truth about dog food;
- The 5 essentials we give our pets; water, shelter, love, exercise and food.
Out of those 5 things, there is only 1 that we cannot guarantee is absolutely 100% pure and healthy because you do not make your own pet food!
“The average dog life expectancy is 13.41 years with a deviation of 2.36.” – Wikipedia

3 reasons commercial dog food is bad choice
1. Chemicals and Preservatives;
Can cause kidney, bladder, skin, stomach and spleen cancer. Also may cause diseases such as leukemia, liver dysfunction, organ failure, immune system deficiencies and allergic reactions. Contributing factor to birth defects, blindness, chronic diarrhea, hair loss and even behavior problems. At the very least, your lucky if it only decreases your dogs lifespan.
2. The dreaded 4 D’s (Dead – Diseases – Dying – Disabled) This is a standard industry term!!!
Under AAFCO guidelines the truth about dog food companies is that they can use livers infested with worms(liver flukes) or diseased with cirrhosis lungs filled with pneumonia, abscesses or even cancerous material! Worried yet?
3. Sodium Pentobarbital.
This is the compound used for euthanasia. Dead zoo animals are induced with this chemical that does not break down during processing and ends up in pet food and inevitably in your pet.
FACT: Dog food companies do NOT have to declare what chemicals are “added” to meat BEFORE they receive it. (read more)
If you don’t make your own pet food you just can’t control these issues in commercial dog food like you can in activities, water, love and shelter.

STILL NOT CONVINCED? WHY YOU NEED TO WORRY
- For one, processing diseased animals doesn’t kill mad-cow disease. Mad Cow Prompts Dog Food Recall. I even just wrote an article a couple days ago about my dog Lincoln’s food being recalled!
Thanks to the poor standards of dog food companies, the truth is our dogs are essentially a bunch of cannibals.
- The city of Los Angeles sends literally TONS of euthanized cats/dogs to a rendering plant every single month.
- Sometimes they won’t even stop to remove their collars, ID tags or the plastic bags their carcasses are transported in. “Food Pets Die For” by Ann N Martin
The National Animal Control Association estimated that each year about 5 million pets were shipped to rendering plants and recycled into pet food during the 1990s. They are generally listed as meat or bone meal in the ingredient lists.
SO WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
Dog food companies? I don’t think so. The Grocery Manufacturers of America, National Food Processors Association and the Pet Food Institute regularly lobby against new labeling requirements. Their interests are in keeping costs low and profits high, our pet’s health is of no concern to them so long as there are no horror-stories on the 6-o’clock news. Their operations are based around making money, not about how to increase your dogs lifespan. That’s why you’ll never hear a peep about making homemade dog food.
To them the choice is simple; either spend their money on quality or just buy fancy marketing and advertising good enough to sell ice to an Eskimo.
In matters of health for your family, the only person you should trust is yourself.
Make your own pet food and stop making the commercial pet food companies rich for killing your pet!

So what is a dogs potential life expectancy?
Following better feeding examples can increase a dogs lifespan by 134%.
- “We have made our own food for well over 30 years….whereas the normal lifespan of a Newfoundland is 6.2-6.7years, our dogs live up to 15 years of age” Wendy and Jack Volhard
How great would 20 years with your best-friend be? That’s another 5 or more years we get to spend with our beloved family members and an increased quality of life for us all.
Surely you get lots of time added to the lifespan of your pet when their not being fed other dead animals with various defects, diseases and euthanizing chemicals inside of them. It’s not rocket science to know that if we fed quality homemade dog food it would increase your dogs lifespan dramatically.
