If you missed the documentary I mentioned a couple of posts ago, you can read about some of the same information but from another reliable source. The Animal Protection Institute (API) years ago produced a document “What’s Really in Pet Food?” and, since the pet food recalls, has updated that same document.
I always use credible sources for my information and API is one of those sources. Everything posted here is based on credible sources and common sense.
The document to get the facts about pet food is available on their website to read or you can download a .pdf version of “What’s Really in Pet Food?” by the API. Head over and read that important information.

That was a real scary article. My dogs were raised on premium pet food. I just changed them to dehydrated food. There was nothing in the articles about dehydrated food. Guess I will start cooking their food. I have to get a good recipe that will give them all their nutrition.
For awhile, after the pet food recall, they were eating boiled chicken, brown rice and frozen green beans. I don’t know if that’s all they need. I wish I hadn’t read your article.
I have referred to the API article often — it’s excellent. Thanks for mentioning it! For ppl who want to feed a homemade diet to their dogs, there’s a good book that explains what supplements are needed: “Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog” by Wendy Volhard & Kerry Brown, DVM.
Thanks for the information. I will get that book.
great pet blog
