I have been reading up on wondering what by products mean in dry or canned pet food. I have a dog and it worries me that these by products are claimed to be left overs from parts of animals not used in a slaughter house or groceries stores. Plus the added artificial flavors, vitamins, and minerals have been discovered by the agriculture department they are not even close to being suitable for a pets nutrition after doing chemical tests on dry food. To make matters worse proven tests and reports state canned food is actually euthanize dogs/cats processed with added corn/carrots/etc. Now you wonder why dog/cat food stinks when you open that bag and get that icky stinch? All and all it makes me wonder why our four legged companions are having less and less life spans than they typically average with the on going progression of diseases and cancer problems. The health problems in dogs and cats used to not be this way but it's getting worse because of the crap that is processed in pets food. I don't like the idea of putting food in my dogs tummy when not even able to pronounce the ingredient or understand what it is 100%.
So what is the best diet to put my dog on???
Raw food such as meats are unsafe. They can carry salmonella virus and be potentially deadly. Raw veggies and fruits such as carrots and pineapple are a good source of vitamin C and D for your 4 legged friends. Good foods for their daily diets should include things like rice, cooked hamburger or liver, and gravy. Cooked carrots and potatoes are also a healthy substitute for dog food.

Dogs are carnivores, so a diet--if you can afford it, of raw meat products is best. Some people can't stand to feed their dog raw meat, and they prefer to cook it. Either way,,this is heathiest.

Look for holistic dry dog foods.
You're looking at the wrong dog foods.
Look up Innova, California Natural, Wellness, Canidae, and Artemis.
They have all natural ingredients, no fillers, low/no grain, and you can pronounce all of the ingredients.

Wet dog food is canned.
I really recommend Canidae.
My older dog started to slow down and I thought it was due to old age. I read "Foods Pets Die For" by Ann N. Martin and was shocked and amazed, like you are now, and switched food.
The difference was amazing!!
From day 1, she perked up, had more energy, her eyes cleared up, her poops got smaller, she's never had another ear infection. She gets excited when I bring a new bag home, and does the "happy puppy dance" when I feed her.
All in all, I'm very happy with Canidae.
