The scientists tested a single protein source pet food labeled as containing nothing but duck. The results of their testing were surprising; the food did in fact contain duck, but the bag also contained fish and another mammal protein!

In fact, of the twelve bags of pet food they tested, only two of the bags revealed results that matched the ingredients listed on the label. That means that over 80% of the pet foods they tested actually had other protein sources in them that weren’t listed on the labels.

So the moral of this story is. . .If you have a pet with food sensitivities, you might end up having to consider making their food yourself.


"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semihuman. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog." Edward Hoagland
"Thorns may hurt you, men desert you, sunlight turn to fog; but you're never friendless ever, if you have a dog."
