New Documentary Slams Popular Pet Food Brands (video)

(CBS) — “Pet Fooled,” a new documentary showing in Chicago on Tuesday night, blasts the top-selling pet foods as being unhealthy for your dog or cat.

Veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker said corn, wheat and soy are the primary ingredients in popular commercial pet foods, and not because they are good for pets, but because they are less expensive.

“All in all, they live sicker lives for much longer because we’re not nourishing them the way that nature intended,” Becker says.

Instead, she recommends a diet of fresh or frozen raw meat. Although this type of meal plan can be pricey, it is not dependent upon your pet’s age or weight, and is one that pet owner Stephanie Fargo abides by.

“I feel like I’m saving money on vet bills because they’ve been so healthy for 11 years,” Fargo says.
