Food Matters

 Finally America's fat ass is catching on to a health "trend"  With movies like Food Inc. and best selling books, Food Matters, The Kind Diet, Skinny Bitch and Skinny Bastard,  (just to name a few) America is revealing the true identity of mass production in the food industry. Don't think your grocery store-pet food is off the hook, In fact, all the crap we can't eat (FDA regulations) gets tossed in a bag of Kibble for our best friend to eat. not cool.


Always check the ingredients BEFORE buying that beautifully marketed bag of kibble and know that "meat-by-products and bone meal," "animal fat," "xxx-meal," and "corn" should not be on that list! A food may also be labled "duck flavor, beef, etc." and may not even contain such ingredients, that's a red flag for a no no! When you consider healthiest food for dogs, find products that offer 40% meat, 50% vegetables and 10% carbohydrates. These are the best nutritional ratios for a healthy dog diet. And mix it up, dogs have tastebuds too, how bad would it suck to eat the same thing over and over and over again? (One of Hanna's favorite foods is cooked broccoli--no lie.) Something I have discovered with my dog food obsession is by spending more for the good stuff, you are spending less in the end. The healthy stuff ensures your dog is getting what he needs and he wont have to find it elsewhere.
