Have you ever assumed since a product is on the market it is safe? Unfortunately this is not true. There are lawsuits before the courts on a weekly basis because of some of the poor quality things that are on the market.
My husband is a duck hunter and he was raised in a family that always owned a black lab. The puppy was smart so his training went as expected. We did not have a lot of money when we were first married. We were always looking for ways to save money. When the puppy got to be a year old we switched it from puppy chow to adult dog food. We were feeding him food that we bought from a large farm supplier, since we figured dog food is dog food. Boy were we wrong…
When the dog was about eighteen months old we noticed that his coat was getting very thin. When we would pet him there were clumps of hair that would fall out. He seemed to have no energy. We took him to the vet. The vet’s first question is what have you been feeding the dog. We told him ‘Ol’ Roy’ and where we were buying it.
To our surprise, we found out that our dog was starving. The food we were feeding him was mostly fillers. He was not getting the nutrients needed to maintain a healthy coat or to sustain activity. We felt awful. The vet suggested buying science diet dog food to help get him back on track. The vet explained to us that the Science Diet dog food might seem expensive; however it is concentrated with protein and nutrients, so you only feed the dog a small amount.
We bought a bag of the science diet dog food from the vet and took the dog home. Within two weeks the dog was filled with energy and you could see that his coat was getting its sheen back.
We went to the farm supplier and told them our experience with using the dog food that they were selling. They told us that the ingredients are listed on the bag as well as the percentages based on weight. They told us that the percentages meet the minimum requirements of the food and drug administration. We could not believe that they could have something on the market that will starve a dog no matter how much was fed to it.
We are now trying to spread the word as much as possible to let people know the importance of feeding high quality food to their pets - we recommend Science Diet dog food.
