Today's Tip: The Good, The Bad & the Ugly of Proteins for Bella.
3 Good Proteins:
Muscle meats
Eggs
Organ meats (such as liver).
3 Worthless Proteins:
Wheat
Corn
Barley
What's the Point in Knowing This?
Dog food manufacturers must have at least 9% protein in their food (called the Guaranteed Analysis) or they are required to print on the label that the food is not nutritionally adequate.
So how dog food companies cut this corner? They use cheap vegetable proteins like wheat, corn and barley to meet the Guaranteed Analysis requirements AND keep their profits high by not using more expensive meat... all at the expense of Bella's health.
Next time I'll show you 8 signs of protein deficiency.
May Bella have a long and happy life,
