The Pitfalls of Processed Pet Food

When you take a walk down the pet food aisle of your local pet food store, you will most probably be overwhelmed by the numerous dog and cat food choices on display – dry, canned, pouched, moist, kibbled, semi-moist… the list goes on and on.

 Many pet parents think they’re making the best choice when they buy these attractively colored products, everyone promises the highest food quality for their furry friends. Even the most well-meaning pet parent falls into these marketing traps.

Stop being deceived – it’s all part of the pet food industry, which is simply an extension of the big food and agricultural corporations that produce grossly nutritionally deficient and overly processed junk foods.

Their number one priority is to make money… not to ensure your pet’s health. Sure, there are a handful of ethical companies producing human grade, fresh, nutritious foods but they are rare.

So how do you go about selecting only the best nutrition for your dog? Well I have been reviewing several brands and have compiled some good ones below:

Brand Name	Types of Food	Rating
ACANA	20 dry foods
Orijen	7 dry foods and 3 freeze-dried dog foods
Fromm	26 dry foods and 9 wet foods
Eagle Pack	9 dry foods and 4 wet foods
The Honest Kitchen	7 dehydrated foods
