Dear op I find your write up very very uninformed and very misleading. It would have been great if you did a bit of research before putting this up. Firstly let me start here, dogs nowadays suffer the same fate as humans. Ask yourself, why has human life expectancy greatly reduced in recent times compared to the olden days? The answer is simple, Processed food and the greed of companies involved in the food industry. Not to say there are no healthy options out there, but they cost money and the human taste buds are better adapted to sweet unhealthy foods. Hence, if you opine that giving your dog human food is the all in all irrespective of the food is a better option, think again. The same fate that many people around the world are facing with illnesses and less than optimum quality of life is exactly what their pets would also suffer. Our forefathers went to the farms till old age, the food they fed were atimes daily harvested,they didn't use pesticides and preservatives, and yes they lived long and so did their pets. Secondly you talk of adequacy of human food for pets. Nature did things perfectly, dogs went out to fend for themselves,nature has put the instinct in them on what to consume and what not and in the right amounts. Our dogs live behind our gates and some on the couches of our apartments and the moment we alter the lifestyle of these animals from the way nature intended it, we as humans must fill the vacum we are creating. Note, the amino acid requirements for dogs is different for humans as well as cats. Eg, the amino acid Taurine is important for cats hence it makes up what is called essential amino acid for cats but dogs do not require it as they are capable of synthezising it PROVIDED the other ten amino acids are present in their diet. As for humans, only 9 amino acids are considered essential out of the 20 or so needed by all (cats,dogs and humans). Arginine is not needed by humans as our body can produce it provided the other 9 are present. Summary, we need 9 amino acids which we cannot produce nor function without hence they have to be supplied in our diet, dogs need all nine like humans plus an additional one called arginine making it 10, cats needs all 10 plus an additional one called Taurine. Remember amino acids are what makes up your protein which is the building block of life. They call it life for a reason. Lastly you mentioned preservatives. Again you generalised everything and bundled them together. Either for humans or animals, whenever a food is not freshly harvested and consumed and need to be kept for a period of time, it has to be preserved or else a process called oxidation would take place and the food would begin to go rancid. There are different ways to preserve food from going rancid. A natural way and an artificial way. The artifical way is by use of chemical preservatives which by the way is not illegal and was the major and only way of preservation decades ago. Unfortunately because this means of preserving food is not illegal, you also find it stated as "approved preservatives" , "antioxidants", EEC permitted preservatives " etc. These notorious chemical preservatives include BHA,BHT, Ethoxyquine, Propylene glycol, propylene gallant etc and has been linked to cancers in dogs hence called carcinogens. Mind you, a lot of human foods also use these preservatives while they are legally permissible in some countries, others like Japan and some of the scandanavian countries have long banned them from both human and pet foods. One would ask why do companies still use them in pet food then? Because they are a cheap way of preserving pet food and they give the food a longer shelf life. Again there is a safer better alternative though much more expensive to companies but there are tons of pet food preserved in this way. This is the use of natural preservatives which would be your vitamin E and Vitamin C, the same you find in your fresh fruits and vegetables. These are referred to as " mixed Tocopherols ". They are natural and perfectly perfectly safe. The issue is that most pet patents especially in Nigeria don't have sufficient knowledge to make good decisions on something as important as nutrition, something that determines 80% of the success or failure of their pets living a long fruitful life. The secret is to also always look for a food with the word "preserved with mixed Tocopherols ". Conclusively, there are loads of human food synthetically preserved just like pet food, yes they are bad for both human and animals, just as there are human foods without these very dangerous preservatives and so are pet foods without them. It's matter of how savy and informed a consumer is or wants to be. It's all about knowing your chosen brand, doing your due diligence and sticking with it. |

Give Less Value to Dog Foods Made with Generic Meat Ingredients Generic meat ingredients are those ingredients that do not identify the source animal. So, instead of listing a specific protein source — like beef, chicken or venison — generic ingredients disguise important details with words like… Animal Meat Poultry Here’s why that’s important… Especially when used to make rendered meals, meat can legally come from virtually any mammal4. So, unlike “beef meal” which must come from beef, generic “meat meal” can be legally made from Road kill Euthanized cats and dogs Dying, diseased or disabled farm animals Dead zoo animals ( dog fod advisor) https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/choosing-dog-food/dog-food-meat-content/ Pro Pac Ultimates contains 30%chicken meal & 20% fat exclusively from Chicken fat No-byproducts No-colourants No-wheat No-Soy 20kg bag vailable at pet/vet stores in all states 08160820140 to locate stores N27,000

Taking care of your dog’s overall health starts by feeding him properly. We suggest using a chart as a guide. Adjust amounts accordingly over time. Please remember these portions are averages and will vary according to age, activity, size and temperament of your adult dog. Pregnant and lactating female dogs will require two to three times as much food as adult feeding guidelines shown. Puppies start to eat solid foods at three to four weeks of age and should have free access to solid food from this time until weaning. You may keep PRO PAC® Ultimates™ Puppy Chicken Meal & Brown Rice Formula before your puppy at all times; most puppies will satisfy their nutritional needs as their appetite dictates. When switching to a new food, gradually increase the new food and decrease the old food over a 7 to 10 day period of time until your pet is completely eating PRO PAC® Ultimates™ Puppy Chicken Meal & Brown Rice Formula.

What to look out for when buying dog food The source and quality of protein in the formula is crucially important for your pet’s health. Look for whole food sources at the very top of the ingredient list like ‘beef,’ ‘turkey,’ ‘lamb’ or ‘chicken’ -- one-word descriptions. Meat and fat ingredients should be identified by species (turkey, lamb, beef, fish, etc.). Avoid any formula that uses unidentified sources, described non-specifically as ‘meat,’ ‘animal’ or ‘poultry.’ The next ingredient of better quality foods will probably be a meat source followed by the word ‘meal.’ Meat meal (with the meat source identified, as in ‘chicken meal’ or ‘turkey meal’) is considered a relatively high-quality protein source by processed pet food standards.
