Dangerous Chemicals to Avoid in Dog Food

As many of you know, I am a huge advocate of feeding my dogs a healthy diet, free from toxins, chemicals, preservatives, and anything else that can harm them. In my research, I found the following, and wanted to share with all of you....

Here are 3 things you need avoid in your dog's food. All are chemical preservatives that can have grave consequences for your most beloved companion....

1. Ethoxyquin - Has been observed to cause auto-immune response in some pets, and promoted kidney, stomach, bladder, and colon cancer.

2. BHA - Causes squamous-cell carcinomas in rats and hamsters, as well as enhanced stomach and urinary bladder carcinogenesis.

3. BHT - Promotes urinary bladder cancer, and suspected to increase thyroid cancer.
