Everybody wants the best for their pets. For me, this meant buying my dog, Winnie, the "premium" dog food. Even after trying several types of foods in her first two years of life, Winnie never seemed happy. After she'd been on Iams for a while -- the food my vet recommended -- she just stopped eating. She would take maybe two bites then leave the rest. I went to Earth Pets, my local holistic dog food store to see if there were any alternatives I could find. I was horrified by what I learned.

You may be disturbed, as I was, to find that you may be feeding your pet road kill, euthanized dogs, and chicken feet, even if you are spending $40 a bag on "premium" food.

The pet food industry has many dark secrets hidden behind the colorful bags and sentimental slogans. Most pet food companies are actually garbage bins for other companies owned by huge corporations. In those kibbles there's a truth that's not so appetizing.

To me, the biggest injustice is that there are pet owners out there who think they're doing the best for their dogs. I found out I was feeding my dog from one of the worst companies out there. You owe it to yourself and your animals to find out what you're really feeding them.
