Dog Food Recall List At this site, The Pet Food List , you will find lists of commercial foods that are considered safe as well as a list of recalled pet foods. The site states: “The list is intended as a starting point for your own research - it is a list we are compiling of pet foods deemed safe by the pet food companies themselves. It is neither an endorsement of any pet foods listed, nor is it a complete list of all pet foods not being recalled. And, even though a brand is listed, we cannot guarantee the food is safe. Therefore, it is your responsibility to verify the safety of the brand you're interested in with the pet food company and/or the FDA.”
The World of Commercial Pet Food If raw feeding or home cooking is not for you, then find the most natural, organic commercial dog food that you can find. But there are so many choices, which one do you choose? And, given the dogs that have died in the most recent kibble recalls from tainted foods, that dogs that have died from the mold in the kibbles over the years, that the lead and aluminumin cans are poisoning the animals, are you sure you’re willing to take the risk of feeding them commecial dog food?
Do you ever wonder what kibble is? What is that stuff in the dog food cans? What is a by-product? What is Brewer's yeast? Are the dog foods ingredients really what they claim they are? These are not quick questions to answer, however they are easy questions to answer because there is so much information available to you. I've listed several reference books on these pages and in our bookstore, and here I am going to refer you to an informational website packed with comprehensive information on what's in dog food and all of the pet foods on the market: The Dog Food Project .
At The Dog Food Project website, you are going to learn how to read dog food labels. Here you will find the information about what each ingredient is actually composed of, which ingredients to avoid, which supplements to avoid, and you will find a listing of existing kibbles. There are also forums to discuss your food questions, and the latest information and recalls on dog foods and dog food ingredients.
As responsible guardians, It is up to us to discern what we should feed our dogs to optimize their health. Believe me, what you will be learning about dog foods, you will be able to apply to human food to, and everyone in your family is going to benefit.
