If your dog is eating grain-free dry food, please continue reading.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has discovered that more and more dogs are suffering from the fatal heart disease dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Even dog breeds that are less likely to suffer from DCM, such as golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, whippets, Shih Tzus, pit bulls, and miniature Schnauzers, have an increasing rate of accidents.
FDA rules over grain-free dry foods
The FDA found that dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) all have one thing in common, which is that they eat grain-free dry food as their main meal.
The article also suggested that this is not the first time I have heard that grain-free dry food can be fatal, and that dry food , whether grain-free or not, is not suitable for your dog . There are several reasons:
1. Food that is dead:
The manufacturing process of dog food requires heating the food 4 times. As we all know, heating will cause the loss of nutrients. How many nutrients does it have to heat 4 times?
2. It is poisonous food:
Both foreign countries and Hong Kong have found that packaged dog food contains aflatoxin☠. Unbeknownst to you, aflatoxin is resistant to heat and cannot be cooked to death, and is often found in contaminated crops, such as corn, grains, and nuts (the main ingredients of dog food).
3. Rapid oxidation
Oxidation begins as soon as the bag is opened. Nutrients and fats begin to oxidize. Oxidation can also cause mold and bacteria to grow in food.
If you want your furry child to eat healthier, look no further than dog food, why not consider raw meat food!
