No matter how cute that dog food commercial is, it has little to do with the quality of the food they put in their bags.

I started doing research on commercial dog foods four years ago after my Beagle (Copper) started having seizures and I have to say this is a scary world. The ingredients some companies use in their formulas has more to do with profits than it does the health of your dog.

The problem is, some of these ingredients have a cumulative effect on your dogs health. Meaning the longer they eat it the more it affects their health negatively. Most dogs hide the symptoms pretty good and in many cases they are passed off as the dog getting older.

That is why it is so important to learn how to tell the best dog food brands from those that put profits over health. One thing to look for to see if your brand is good or bad is, that if there is any “by-products” listed you should stay away. It might say Chicken by-product or worst yet meat by-product and both of these are ingredients you never want listed in any food your feeding to your dog.
