So you've made some major life changes and decided to live more naturally, in a manner that rejects the common acceptance of synthetic, processed foods and other products. Yet, you're still feeding your beloved, furry companions that commercial dog food that contains a laundry list of potentially hazardous materials, none so glaringly disenchanting than measurable amounts of chemical preservatives, feces, and plastic.
The standards that control what is used in dog food have been largely ignored by manufacturers since such regulations were put in place. Of course, even if they were being followed to the last word, the contents would still seem unsettling, due to these standards being so low. Though it would be nice to pin these neglectful and irresponsible inclusions on the "bargain bag" variety of dog food, it simply can not be said with any certainty that many of the high-end varieties do not use the same nauseating substances. Your dog can't tell you he doesn't like to eat plastic, but it's pretty safe to say he would if he could.
In recent years, thoughtful and responsible pet owners and veterinarians have called for action and seen some pretty impressive results. There are a wide variety of options available to the conscientious consumer that doesn't see fit to feed their beloved pets something that they would never eat themselves. Several manufacturers have released dog and cat foods that include only human-grade ingredients that are raised and treated naturally. Simply put, this food could be marketed to humans, if only anyone would want to eat it. Below our some articles on ways you can help your furry friends to be as health-smart as you.
