you know, commercial packaged pet food is, for the most part, a post ww2 phenomenon…

I feed my dog chicken, brown rice, and veggies all cooked. He loves it.
Also, use a little garlic with no problems.

LOL, it kinda wakes a person up doesn’t it? I just can’t believe that they are still doing business. Doesn’t it make you feel all warm and cozy knowing these guys could be making “”baby food”". I have seen these foods in stores where I live but they say they don’t do business in Washington state. Maybe they banned them, WA is pretty strict about these kinds of companies. They have had many dog food recalls, that is where I found it.

Beef Meat & Bone Meal, is very dangerous for dogs. It actual contains manure!!!!

Beef & Bone Meal

AAFCO: The rendered product from beef tissues, including bone, exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents, except in “such amounts as may occur unavoidably in good processing practices”.

A byproduct made from beef parts which are not suitable for human consumption. It can incorporate the entire cow, including the bones, but the quality cuts of meat are always removed. This is an inexpensive, low quality ingredient used to boost the protein percentage.

Lard should be high on your list.

Lard

AAFCO: The rendered fat of swine.

Very low in linoleic acid but very attractive to pets, used to make poor quality food more appealing. Few nutritional benefits.

Soybeans (soybean oil) and beet pulp, commenly found in commercial dog food that you’d buy at the grocery store and some so called “premium” brands contain saponins which are toxic. Saponins are what really causes bloat in your dog…not from your dog eating to fast or chicken fat as some would suggest.

My dog ate raw onions regularly and lived to be 17. I just now see that they are supposed to almost kill your dog instantly according to this blog. Guess no one ever told him that. lol

If onions were as toxic as you say they are, there would be many canine deaths from stolen bits of the MANY foods eaten that contain onions, from McDonald’s burgers to meatloaf to holiday stuffing. Lots of raw onion is undoubtedly a bad idea, but what dog would eat this even if offered? Likewise the current horror at grapes or raisins and dogs. I’ve grown grapes and had dogs and never had a problem. My two dogs used to eat them right off the plant from time to time, and they lived to be 14 and 15 respectively. As for fat, generations of dogs have been given fat trimmings without falling ill.

There are enough genuine risks for poisoning without freaking out about foods that dogs have eaten for generations with no demonstrable problem. Don’t leave baking chocolate or chicken bones lying around, know what plants you have in your yard, and keep the dogs out of the garage away from antifreeze and pesticides and just relax and have some canine fun.
