The better brands of commercial pet food, such as those labled “super-premium,” “natural,” and “organic” do not contain by-products. You will see one or more meats among the first few ingredients, such as “chicken” or “lamb.” HOWEVER, these meats are still mainly leftover scraps. In the pet food industry poultry bones are considered suitable ingredients, so “turkey or chicken” consists mainly of backs and frames—the spine and ribs, not the good meat. The small amount of meat left on the bones is usually the meat in the better brands of commercial pet food.
You should feed your pets foods that come as close to what they would eat in the wild as possible. Trust someone that learned and is still at the tail end of learning the hard way that commercial pet foods and annual vaccinations harm our pets more than help them. I have 3 pets right now and after lots of reading and lots of research I'm convinced the BARF diet or raw food diet is the way to go and have started. My cat is around age 10 (unsure of age, rescued her), my dog is 12, and a cancer survior, and last but not least, my new 8 1/2 week old puppy (seen to your right).
I'm really mad at myself right now because my 12 year old dog, Madison has a couple of new lumps. Such regret over not going RAW with her immediately after her cancer surgery. It's true I did curtail a revisit of cancer, or I prolonged its return by stripping her diet of grains. Innova EVO was the food I used and some fatty tumors shrunk after the switch. However, I KNOW a RAW food diet would have been better.
