How to choose your dog’s
food?
A. By the color of the bag?
B. By responding to catchy television ads?
C. By following the advice of the Whole Dog Journal?
D. By avoiding
foods that include by-products, animal fat, or sunflower oil?
E. None of the above.
E. None of the above is the right answer.
If you are enamored of a pretty bag, buy
it and hang it on your wall. Catchy ads are designed to catch you. The foods they promote have, as this article
will reveal, little or no substance behind them and despite the profound-sounding rhetoric are the foods that
are causing all the problems. Following the advice on nutrition of the Whole Dog Journal on
nutrition will often steer you in the wrong direction. Their opinions generally are scientifically invalid and
often lack basic common sense. (More proof of this to come later in this article). Avoiding foods that
include by-products, animal fat, or sunflower oil is absurd. No dog food can be adequate without the
first two. The third ingredient, sunflower oil, is the most valuable back-up source of omega 6 fatty acids.
It is the only non-toxic oil in the market place. Omega 6 fatty acids are the most essential
and valuable fatty acids in nutrition. Life cannot proceed without them. How then
should you choose your dog’s food? By its record.
Dogs and cats have come to us over the millennia without the need for medical
intervention. For them to survive they had to be sound, strong, reproduce abundantly, and be resistant to all
the problems they encountered from the beginning of life to the end. This could only have taken place because
their diet promoted self-sufficiency. That then is the standard every ration manufactured today has to meet,
but doesn’t. Based on this profound insight we can safely assume that virtually every breakdown
condition is food-caused. Very simply, every breakdown condition that crosses breed lines and is repeated
all over the country at pandemic levels can only be food caused. There is no other valid explanation for this
phenomena. Dogs and cats are carnivores (meat-eaters). Industry (companies small and large), feeds
them as if they were omnivores or herbivores (primarily plant matter eaters) offering a level of nutrition far
below the level they require in order to be self-sufficient. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that deficiencies
are the causes of the vast majority (if not all) breakdown conditions that fit into the category described above.
A second important point is poisoning. Plant-derived toxins (called saponins and phaseolins),
are the defense mechanisms of some plants, many of which are commonly included in commercial rations and are poisonous
to dogs and cats. More about this subject later in the article.
