Recently we have read of many manufacturers recalling their dog food for safety reasons. This has made many wonder if they are feeding their animals safe dog food. And well it should, because safe dog food is not easy to find at your grocery store. Commercially made dog food companies don’t make their labels easy to read. In fact they are confusing and difficult to comprehend. That’s because the food processors, the grocery industry and the pet food manufacturers have made every effort to fight the FDA to keep the labels from being easily understood.

That is not surprising. Have you read the ingredients in your dog’s dinner lately? Many of the cans are bags will include a healthy sounding ingredient known as meat meal. That almost sounds good enough for humans. Meat meal. But what is it?

To make meat meal, which is brought to us by our friendly next door rendering plant, they slowly stew the carcasses of dead animals. Many of these animals are cats and dogs that were euthanized at animal shelters or other animal control facilities. Many of them were wearing collars (some even flea collars) with I.D. Tags. Some were wrapped in plastic bags. State and county road departments pick up road kill, and those putrid carcasses are also sent to the rendering plants. Don’t forget many zoos that dispose of dead animals. All of these are slowly boiled and processed into an ingredient they call meat meal. Does that sound like a safe dog food ingredient?

We have lost beloved family pets in the past because our vet told us they were filled with tumors. Have you ever had that sad experience? It is gut wrenching. But it is no wonder. Animal advocates and veterinarians have been telling us for years about the carcinogenic dangers of the residues in commercial dog food left from the chemicals and poisons used to euthanize the animals that became dog food ingredients. Cats and dogs that eat this food have become filled with cancers. Damage is done to their immune systems, their livers and kidneys, their brains, all because of the harmful chemicals in their food.

Natural homemade dog food provides a healthy alternative. When you make your own dog food with healthy ingredients, you know you are making a safe dog food. Some people may initially balk at the idea of actually preparing their dogs dinners, but when they get the facts they find out it is really a pretty good arrangement.

Pet owners that make their own natural homemade dog food generally make it in batches and freeze it. The ingredients are not expensive (can you say leftovers?), and using the right recipes can insure a balance meal for your pet. Hundreds or recipes are available in books and on line. And all of them insure your furry friend is getting safe dog food.

Think about what you are feeding your dog the next time you fill her food dish. She looks to you to give her a nutritional diet. Are you providing your pet safe dog food? Why not give her natural home made dog food for her health and well being?
