toxic pet food ingredient list
About the Ingredients
This is a quick summary of what should never be in any being’s food. Not everything is listed, this is just an example. All of it is highly toxic. This is covered in more detail within the Pet Food Industry I thought however, readers might find this helpful to “quick scan” this page to check against the industry food which they may be feeding to their animals as most of these products are in the food.
Please note, when the consumer purchases industry product, there is also an assumption everything is reported on the label. I would assume in most cases, it is not. For instance, pesticides in the food and phenobarbital from dead and diseased animals, not reported.
There is Nothing Natural about the word “Natural”
If you see the word “natural” on ANY bag, or can, especially for pet food, this is marketing. Think MSG. Nothing natural sits under the word “natural”, only harmful chemicals and processed food waste.
If You Can Not Understand the Word
There are so many long words in the food ingredient lists on these cans and bags. If you cannot understand what it is, literally identify with the word, it is not food. It is most likely a toxic chemical. And therefore, should not be in any being’s body. Trust your instincts, don’t be sold “pretty food waste”.
About Herbs
Herbs are medicinal plants. They are not to be taken every day, especially in food. They are to be used for specific healing modalities. The animals choose herbs to heal themselves. They would never have herbs consistently in their diet every day.
So, when you see a herb such as rosemary on the bag or can, this is not okay for your animal. This reads well, as the mind thinks – “oh, I recognize this, this is natural”, but it is medicinal, and again should not be in the food every day. The sourcing of the ‘rosemary” and such, is another whole conversation too. This is not what you are maybe imagining it to be.
