Ok....so now that I have found proof to the claims of my pups Vet I had to look for a way to reverse the cycle. I hope that all of you dog owners out there see how terrible most dog foods are. After some extensive research I found a user friendly site that will help reverse the effects of comercialized dog foods. I hope you can take some time to look at it.....if you decide to buy it....there is a money back guarantee.....and even if you don't like it, you still get to keep all the info they send you. Just give it a try. I know that none of us want to be the reason that our pets die early. I promise that after reading some of the info on this page you will be more educated on this topic.

Article on Dog Food Ingredients
Here is an article I found that backs up my Vet's proposal:
Is That Dog Food Safe, Mommy? by Lori Matthews
If you are purchasing dog food from your local grocery store, you may be in for a big surprise. The one who ultimately pays for this is your canine. You may save some money upfront but the cost might be to your dog’s health. It is important that we are aware what we are feeding our animals. Their wellbeing definitely depends on it.
Popular and well known dog food manufacturers cover up brains, beaks, eyes and other things with the all too familiar nick name of bi-products. Do you know what your pet is really eating?
Artificial ingredients are also used by well known dog food brands. This may be harmful to their health. Kibble shouldn’t be “colored†with artificial dyes like yellow # or red # or any of the dye “numbersâ€.
Chemical preservatives are often used in popular kibble for dogs. BHT, Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), also known as Butylhydroxytoluene and BHA, Butylated hydroxyanisole and Ethoxoquin are used as a preservative to keep the foods from going rancid. These are chemical compounds that may wreak havoc on your canine’s immune system A natural alternative like tocopherols is what you should be looking for.
Unfortunately wheat and corn are used as cheap fillers in dog food. Some manufactures actually use these as protein sources. They are often very hard for the animal to digest and can cause such allergies leaving your canine suffering with itching their ears, licking paws, hot spots, skin and coat issues and just plain old misery. These ingredients can be found in treats as well.
Large manufactures also make food in such large batched that you may never really know when the food was made or worse how fresh the food is you just purchased.
Like humans dogs are what they eat. Artificial ingredients, poor protein sources, lack of fruits and vegetables all play a part in the immune system of you canine to fight off free radicals. When food is made of poor ingredients a whole list of things can affect your dog from allergies to disease.
At first when you feed your dog inferior foods there may or may not be visible reasons to think there are issues. As time goes on scratching may appear or constant ear infections or something of that nature. Luckily you will have the choice to search for a better nutritional food in order to alleviate these issues. If left untreated your pet’s immune system could be compromised and a host of issues like kidney problems, urinary tract issues, and joint issues, lack of energy and behavior changes could start to manifest.
It is wise to start your dog as young as possible with a natural premium food to build a strong immune system and foundation for solid health. If that isn’t the case then it is never too late to get on the right track of great nutrition.
Healthy food along with pure water, plenty of exercise and lots of love all play a vital role in the health and longevity of your dog’s life.

Morkie Madness
Hi everyone! This is my first post and I want to introduce you all to my dog Gizmo. (yeap...like the movie) I just bought Gizmo and training is going well. We are having some trouble with rolling over, but I think we'll get through it. The purpose for this blog is to inform everyone of the truth about dog food. When I started looking into brands I was dumbfounded by all of the different types of dog food. What main ingredient do I look for, Who makes the best puppy brand, What shouldn't be in a good dog food, etc. After bringing up this topic with Gizmo's Vet; I was shocked at what he had to tell me. He recommended that I make Gizmo his own meals. He said he had read a recent article that linked earlier doggie deaths to commercialized foods. Naturally, I wanted to do some research myself. OMG! I still can't believe some of the stuff I learned.
