POOR QUALITY KIBBLE
It is not worth it to purchase poor quality foods just to save some bucks. In the long run, you will find yourself at the vet's office much more often than you would, were your pet on a premium quality food such as Eaglepack. More importantly, you are compromising your dog's health and well-being.
Much of the pet food industry uses leftovers from parts not fit for human consumption. For example, diseased or old animal carcasses (this includes dead dogs and cats) are used. Slaughterhouse wastes can increase your pet's risk of getting cancer and other degenerative diseases. Hormones used on livestock or the drugs used to euthanize them are not always destroyed by popular pet food cooking methods such as rendering and extruding. Rendered "meat meals" and by-products may be contaminated with bacteria, espescially when the carcass is not fresh. Dangerous toxins can sometimes find their way to your dog's bowl. These may cause many dogs to vomit, have diarrhea, lose their appetite or, the most dangerous toxins may cause weight loss, liver damage, lameness, or even death. Many chemicals are also added to the food. These are additives and preservatives such as BTA, BHT and ethoxyquin which are among the most dangerous ones.
Unfortunately, feeding trials are no longer required for a food the meet necessary requirements for misleading food labels such as "complete and balanced".

This information is certainly shocking to most of us but the general public must be made aware of these dangerous and unsanitary practices so they know exactly what they are putting in their beloved pets' bodies.
Please make this a topic of conversations with people you know. We must spread the word if anything is going to change in the future!
