I don't even think they put all the ingredients on there. They can group the real ingredients into other "brand names" and feed us and our pets goyslop.
Growing up, I don't remember any dogs with "allergies" or cancer. They ate table scraps and no name brand dog food and lived healthy long lives. Our biggest worry was the dog getting hit by a car or eating a house plant.
Now, almost everyone's pet has some sort of condition that needs supplements and pills. I'm looking at you Apoquel. GTFO with $2.70 per pill.
the common dog food is loaded with GMO corn, GMO soy, food allergies are linked to GMO food. Compare a bag of "premium" dog food, then compare the cost of buying chicken quarters, thighs, breasts, on sale, a big bag or whole oats or rice, a bag of carrots and sweet potatos, green beans. On sale ground beef, a few tins of sardines, eggs. it's cheaper and so much better for the dog, Like kids eating processed and dyed foods, dogs get hyper too from a lot of commercial feed. I've reversed a lot of aging issues on my sheppies through the years from doing this. I don't think it has to be organic, because dogs do not live as long as we do , so the meats and things do not have to be organic for pets, but should be for us, or at least pasture raised with no gmo feed or antibiotics. What is a mystery is that while eggs are going through the roof with pricing, chicken itself , at least here in Vermont, is quite reasonable, at around 1.29 per pound.
It may seem counterintuitive that egg and chicken prices moved in opposite directions. The dynamic is primarily due to a severe outbreak of bird flu in the U.S. — which has killed many egg-laying hens but has largely left chickens raised for meat production unscathed, according to economists.
We make our own dog food because my German Shepherd has EPI and needs enzymes on whatever he is fed to help "pre-digest" his food for him so he can absorb the nutrients. At first, we were using canned dog food or store-bought "homemade" food but the cost was killing us. So we priced it out and discovered that making it ourselves was cheaper. Chicken quarters are $1.29 a pound. throw in a can of coconut milk an extra large bag of frozen mixed veggies, a can of pumpkin and a couple scoops of dog vitamins/probiotics/etc. Top off with a fresh egg when serving and happy, healthy dog.

I think that the increase in dog health problems is related to veterinarian vaccines, just as we have been seeing in people.
Exactly my thoughts as well. Any means to make more money off us down the road. They know lots of people will do anything for their pets.
