I used to feed my doggy poison. :D

Wow, glad to see a post on this. I went on to raw after seeing what was in pet food.

You should add Bakers dog food to the worst. It contains ingredients that have been banned in foods:

E320 - has been found to be tumour-producing when fed to rats. In human studies it has been linked with urticaria, angioedema and asthma

E321 - banned for use in food in Japan, Romania, Sweden, and Australia. The US has barred it from being ...used in infant foods. So bad McDonalds have voluntarily eliminated it from their products.

E310 - Banned from children's foods in the US because it is thought to cause the blood disorder methemoglobinemia

E172 - Banned in Germany

E132 - Can cause skin sensitivity, a rash similar to nettle rash, itching, nausea, high blood pressure and breathing problems. One of the colours that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children. Banned in Norway.

E102 - TARTRAZINE - A trial on 76 children diagnosed as hyperactive, showed that tartrazine provoked abnormal behaviour patterns in 79% of them

E110 - Sunset Yellow has been found to damage kidneys and adrenals when fed to laboratory rats. It has also been found to be carcinogenic when fed to animals

E104 - One of the colours that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children. Banned in Australia, Japan, Norway and the United States.

E171 - Banned in Germany

E153 - Banned as a food additive in the United States of America. Suspected as a carcinogenic agent.

Really shocking.

I think we should keep this topic on the first page because many people probably don't know what pet foods are toxic- or that they could be using one of 'em!

I forgot to mention a while ago that I made the switch to 4health! I was up at Tractor Supply exchanging something for my horse and we also ended up getting the food. Sophie adores it. As soon as I put the food down she eats it right up (she used to not do that unless she was really, really hungry). I also love how the food doesn't smell when you open the bag like some foods do. I wasn't able to get the grain free (I was already spending a little more on the thing for my horse because he really needed it, so I couldn't put that extra money into her food) But the food that I did get is corn/soy free and only has natural grains.

This is the food I got. click for food!

instead of this one. here is is

There are so many dog foods that are bad for your dog! It lookes like, based on the article Cardinal wrote , that most of these toxic dog foods were made in China....

Keeping this subject at the top, I find it very useful for others.
