Bad Ingredients in Dog Food

March 15, 2018 0

Ingredients to avoid when we choice dog food.



You may wonder what dog food is the best.
The best food is what your dog like to eat and what makes your dog healthy.
But we can't know what is the best because we are not a professional.

So we need to read the ingredients in dog food we will buy at least.

There are some ingredients to avoid.

1. CMIT (Chloromethylisothiazolinone)

  • BHA
  • BHT
  • ethoxyquin
  • Propylene Glycol

That is a cancer-causing agent and cause of illness of every kind.
BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, Propylene Glycol are belongs to CMIT.

2. grains causing skin problem

  • Corn
  • wheat
  • soy or soy-bean

Corn, wheat, soy or soy-bean can cause your dog's skin problem or make it worse.

3. gluten meal

  • corn gluten meal
  • wheat  gluten meal
  • soy-bean  gluten meal

That is very low priced dregs of grains.

4. by-product of grain

  • corn bran
  • rice bran
  • rice flour
  • brewers rice
  • beet pulp
  • dried brewers yeast

5. low-grade fat

  • animal fat
  • poultty fat
Fat not to see where it is from is not good.

6. by-product of meat

  • poultry by-product meal
  • chicken by-product meal

Those are neck, beak, legs, intestine, etc.
Those are easy to rot and have no nutritional value.

7. meat not to see where it is from

  • meat meal
  • bone meal
  • blood meal
  • fish meal
  • animal meal
  • poultry meal

You need to check the name of meat.
Chicken meal or duck meal is safe because you can know that the meal is of chicken or duck.

8. food coloring

  • yellow 5
  • blue 2
  • red 40
  • etc

9. taste and flavor enhancers

  • ~flavors
  • ~digest

Those are synthetic flavoring matters.

10. canola oil

  • canola oil

Most of canola oil may be GMO.


I recommend to read carefully the Nutrition Facts of a dog food which you will buy.
