Have you ever wondered why human's are being told to stay away from processed food but our pets are eating exactly that?

The pet food industry is worth billions and began as a business enterprise. Before kibble was invented, dogs and cats did not eat processed carbohydrates. In the wild they ate prey. So why has that stopped?

Below are some interesting resources which are very educational

There are quite a few reports coming in from pet owners whose dogs have become violently ill and died after ingesting a range of Purina dog food. At this point it appears to be a few of their brands and only in the US. Purina does manufacture it's own food here in Australia. 

If you feed a Purina brand of food (their list is below) and you notice a change in your dogs health please consider changing their food as a precaution. Symptoms can include 

• Lethargy
• Seizure
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
