First let us begin by stating the obvious, you love your dog. I am sure he is loved just as much as any member of your family. Now would you ever feed your beloved family member something that you knew could cause his kidneys to fail?

Would you give him something that could cause him extreme pain, and eventual death? Of course not!

Chances are though, that you unknowingly feed your pet this poison everyday.

Commercial pet food is killing pets on a daily basis and the government is doing nothing to stop it. With a little research though, you can learn the secrets to prolonging your dog's life and saving him from future pain and suffering.

To understand why commercial dog food is so bad we should begin with what exactly is in the "quality" food you are feeding your loved one.

We will start with the advertised ingredients; prime cuts of beef, chicken, whole grains. What they failed to mention is that those prime cuts of beef are actually the parts that no humans will eat or pieces that are so rotten and diseased that they aren't allowed to feed them to humans.

Those prime cut are also hooves, rectum, intestine, bones, blood and horns. You will also find plastic from ear tags and the packaging used at stores. Why plastic store packaging? It's really quite simple you don't get any money if you throw out rotten meat. O.k., but why the plastic you may ask again? You lose some of the profit if you pay someone to remove the tray and wrap. Plus if you process it enough dogs will still eat it, especially if you cover it in grease.

Ok, the beef is questionable but there is still the chicken and all those whole grains. Right?

True, but the chicken is just as bad as the beef. The only difference is that instead of horns, there are beaks and instead of hooves there are feet. Now, on to the whole grains. The mouldy, contaminated, poor quality whole grains that the companies so lovingly put in the food meant to feed mans best friend. That's the good grains, the whole grains, there are other grains too. Grains that have had everything man might want extracted from them and then we feed what is left to our pets.

Why do this, when we could feed them healthy homemade dog food? You can take charge of what is going into your dog's body and keep the rotten filth out.

Now the title of this article is Kidney Failure in Dogs - Are You Poisoning Your Dog Without Knowing It? So let's talk about your poor dogs kidneys. Kidneys are in the body to remove toxins. If your dog is ingesting rotten food, and who knows what else, imagine how hard his kidneys are working on a daily basis.

Now multiply that over years of being fed the lovely ingredients found in commercial dog food every day. It's surprising that kidney failure in dogs isn't the number one cause of death. It actually amazes me that all dogs fed this lovely "food" don't die within the first year of life!

I could not imagine how bad a person would feel if they ate even a bite of what we make our beloved pets eat daily.
