The Good, The Bad & the Ugly of Proteins for your dog
We recommend 9 dog foods in which we've researched & know contain all the high quality protein Bingo needs.
3 Good Proteins:
Muscle meats
Eggs
Organ meats (such as liver) .
3 Worthless Proteins:
Wheat
Corn
Barley
What's the Point in Knowing This?
Dog food manufacturers must have at least 9% protein in their food (called the Guaranteed Analysis) or they are required to print on the label that the food is not nutritionally adequate.
So how dog food companies cut this corner? They use cheap vegetable proteins like wheat, corn and barley to meet the Guaranteed Analysis requirements AND keep their profits high by not using more expensive meat... all at the expense of Bingo's health.
