Why Is Your Dog Dying?
I just received an email from Dr. Andrew Jones DVM that I want to share in its entirety. I normally don't do this but his message is so clear and so strong that is has to be shared as is.
If you don't want a wake up call for your pets health, you need not read this.
Keep Yor Dog Helathy With Homemade Dog Food
Here it is.
====================
Do you know what the fastest growing cause of death in dogs is?
1. Accidents
2. Heart Disease
3. Parvovirus
4. ...or?
It may surprise you, but the fastest growing cause of death in dogs isn't accidents...
it isn't Heart Disease...
and it isn't Parvovirus.
It's diseases caused by the Poor Quality Food that your dog eats...
...namely, Cancer.
Yes, it's sad and shocking, but true. This year more dogs will die of Cancer - caused largely by poor nutrition - than any other disease.

WHO am I am HOW this came to be...
---------------------------------------
My name is Dr. Andrew Jones, and since dogs and dog care are very important and personal to me, I wanted to write to you myself.
I am a veterinarian, and I currently own the Nelson Animal Hospital in Nelson BC, Canada, along with the Second Chance Animal Shelter.
I've been a practicing veterinarian for over 15 years. During many of those years I was the proud owner of "Hoochie", a beautiful mixed breed dog who brought joy and companionship to me and my family.
But as I am writing you today, my beloved Hoochie is no longer with us. He passed on at the young age of 8... from a deadly Spleen cancer that I now know could have been prevented.
After my years of extensive research, I've discovered that there is one PRIMARY reason why serious illness and diseases in dogs have increased dramatically over the last decade...
In fact, this is the SINGLE most important reason why my dog Hoochie developed Spleen Cancer and died.

POOR QUALITY DOG FOOD
-------------------------------------------
It seems as though the more fancy dog foods that come out, the more sickness and cancers us veterinarians are seeing every day. It's heartbreaking.
Pet food labels can be deceiving. They only provide half the story. The other half of the story is hidden behind obscure ingredients listed on the labels. Bit by bit, over seven years, I have been able to unearth information about what is contained in most commercial pet food. At first I was shocked, but my shock turned to anger when I realized how little the consumer is told about the actual contents of the pet food."
The long and the short of it is that today's pet foods are made up of waste that is leftover from processing human food - blood, bone, ligaments, tails, etc.
Worse off, it's been proven that euthanized animals are making their way into pet food... dogs and cats from shelters, and other livestock that had to be put down.
Not good.

The Pet Food Recall and TOXIC Dog Food
-----------------------------------------
You may have heard of the big Pet Food Recall in 2007, in which tens of thousands of cans of food were recalled and pulled from the shelves.
Don't you think it's fair to say that there would not have been a recall if efforts were made to ensure the food was safe for consumption in the first place?
You may have also heard of the controversy around the pet food preservative called "Ethoxyquin"...
The FDA tested this preservative and found that it was unhealthy for canine consumption... so they of course banned companies from using it, right?
Wrong. The pet food manufacturers argued that it was too important to do away with, and instead of banning the substance outright, the FDA cut the amount that pet foods were allowed to contain in half.
My message to them is this:
WAKE UP. Half of a dose of poison is still poison! (Side note: Make sure to NEVER give your dog food that contains Ethoxyquin, or its two equally dangerous companion chemicals - BHA and BHT).
P.S. The single most effective way to ensure that your dog gets the nutrients needed to prevent these serious diseases is through a quality dog supplement. You can see my Complete Dog Supplement by going here:

Gives you something to think about doesn't it? Especially coming from a Veterinarian and not just some guy trying to peddle something.
