Mesa Dog Owners Advised of Kibble Quality Issues
Most Mesa dog owners are unaware of the harmful process that kibble goes through before it reaches the mouths of their best friend. A recent article in Dogs Naturally Magazine discussed in detail the potential health risks associated with inferior kibble food.
Did you know that processing kibble requires all vitamins and minerals to be stripped from the product – and then – they’re added back in (usually in synthetic form) to provide the nutrition dogs need.
This process of adding vitamins and minerals back into kibble is problematic for a couple of reasons:
- Vitamins and minerals added into the dog food come in what are called as a “premix” form which are often bought from producers overseas where the production standards are very low.
- Many kibble premixes are created with synthetic vitamins and minerals may cause toxicity in your pet’s body.
Research has shown that the best alternative for providing your dog with vitamins and minerals would be through whole foods. Only through whole foods, will your dog receive all of the necessary ingredients from each food in order to process the beneficial vitamins and nutrients they provide.
Next time you are shopping for dog food in Mesa, compare the labels between the leading kibble brand and a quality whole food brand of dog food.
