The shocking truth is that most commercial pet foods are made up of slaughterhouse offal and grains considered \u2018unfit for human consumption\u2019. This waste includes intestines, udders, esophagi and possibly diseased cancerous animal parts, which are often loaded with chemicals such as hormones, preservatives and fillers to improve their taste and appearance while offering no nutritional value. Many pets are often plague with skin and gastrointestinal conditions caused by allergies to beef, chicken, lamb, preservatives, additives which are all common ingredients in commercial pet food. Many of these ingredients have been implicated in the increase of pet cancers in recent years.<\/p>\n

The wide variety of commercial pet food available now has left pet owners spoilt for choice. Being attractively-packaged and affordably-priced, they often lure unsuspecting pet owners into believing that their pets\u2019 nutritional needs are met without understanding more about the actual ingredients that make up the food.<\/p>\n
