Melamine is used as a fertilizer in asia and also has several industrial commercial uses including a component of kitchen utensils and plates the association between melamine in the kidneys in urine of cats that die and the melamine that was in the food they consume is undeniable additionally melamine is an ingredient that should not be in at food at any level. Following the 2007 recall one central question began to resonate among consumers. What are dogs and cats actually supposed to eat its confusing because the pet Food Industry is telling us what to feed our pets more based on what they want to sell us and whats necessarily good for the. Old bro when phrase about mary and now an author and her new book is called their war yell treatment please welcome dr barbara well good morning they all right thank you so much for being here so let me ask. It is what are the things that we are giving them that we should do and then what should we be given that we are so no corn no wait no so away after many years of r. And d. We have found that corn is still the best available source of carbohydrates when processed and refined properly those are the things that cause overweight diabetes arthritis chronic Skin Infections allergies things like that thats the precursor for a lot of that if youre feeding point attrition and theyre eating a lot of those things that mess with the body they just dont stay healthy let me ask you this dr are those the things that you find in dog food or youre talking to people who are giving table food today i know its and on food. During the war there was a moratorium on using the metal cans for canned food so they said you cant use metal cans for dog food anymore you have to use that for ammunition. To somebody that we need to make the dog food something we could put in a paper bag and thats how they did it and nobody thought at that time that making a camel and eventually the way that we process it now could ever be a help detriment to the dogs. Now because of the way that the world is corn and wheat have become so subsidized and so chain its a super cheap way to make a food for somebody who cant say no is good and theres definitely an epidemic of problems now in animals that i dont think weve seen anything like it in in history every animal that comes in to see me theyll say oh theyre basically healthy but the list of problems is immense so its not that theyre healthy theyre actually suffering from sed many many maladies a lot of the same maladies that we see in people we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders theyve got allergies and part of the. And for that is because we are actually creating these problems its a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to a very simple problem of diet. And. I have heard for the top 10. To 12 years old you know you dont know a 12 year old you know why you know that 4 years old because your parents feel extra good put this down every so i think arrows just write on it absolutely the best and i can imagine theyre so excited about it and its gone. And i worry about them eating raw food and then letting me know i do not know this but if its because the fact is. There arent any happening. Here. I think raw food is weird to a lot of people when i 1st mentioned it to people they sort of say raw food i have to feed raw food to make my diet healthy like are you crazy and i well you know you dont have to do it itll make a difference in make a huge difference. One of my hobbies and passions is wildlife rehabilitation. This is her did. You see. I have been fascinated with nature and life something i can remember. I became a license to wildlife rehabilitator when i was 14 and i knew that i would have a life long career helping animals so when i was 14 i heard about a woman that had tremendous success with wildlife rehabilitation her name was Barbara Harvey and she was in a hurry. And i called her and i said barbara my name is karen bakker and 14 years old and i want to know how you became so successful. Long story short she invited me to her home in her account wisconsin she lives in a beautiful log cabin during the winter months and she lived in a teepee under 18 acres during the summer months she invited me to live in her teeth on her 13 acres and see how she rehabilitates cox eagles i was and. Barbara has the best success rate in the country with raptors and the reason she has such success she feeds biologically appropriate all. Living mice rabbits rodents to those animals to be able to help the body recover from injury. So when i went to Veterinarian School years later and i sat to these nutrition courses and when they gave me the laminated chart that told me what food i should feed with what disease process things did not add up. Before i went to vet school i worked for years in zoo medicine. The most important thing i think i learned from that is every species has its own requirement each species must eat what it is supposed to eat its developed evolved to have a specific diet that keeps it healthy. Each animal has its own biologic requirement for certain nutrients a species appropriate diet for worms is dirt a species of procreate diet lets say for hummingbirds would be nectar if you cant feed earthworms nectar and you can feed hummingbirds dirt both of those animals would simply die it gets pretty confusing with dogs and cats however because dogs and cats are nutritionally much more resilient than other species and what that means is that we can nutritionally abuse them for lack of a better term and they dont die immediately they just have the overall vitality decline and overall degenerative changes take place in their bodies from feeding them food. Biologically appropriate cats being obligate carnivores have to consume meat to be able to thrive they do not have a biologic requirement for any type of carbohydrate very high protein require a very high moisture requirement and a moderate fat requirement cat originally we were domesticated to guard the grain race because cats dont consume green cats consume ice that consume the grain and so by domesticating cats we assume that there was a mutually beneficial relationship we do know in the last 100 years since we have produced cat food on the market that cats have experienced significantly more Kidney Disease and we know that they have experienced obesity. Failure and diabetes at a much higher rate and certainly we need to begin evaluating what role nutrition has and some of those degenerative diseases Kidney Disease is the number one killer of cats and we know that asking cats to process an entirely do you hate rated food such as kibble can be very detrimental to Kidney Health dogs evolved from the gray wolf and we know that dogs came. Out of the order carnivora which means theyre carnivores in 1903 the international society. Redefined. Familial laris as just these are the people that define what category what taxonomy animals fit into and why this society concluded that dogs were genetically identical to wolves they shared 99. 9 percent of the d. N. A. We know that geno typically the geno type the d. N. A. Is identical to what has changed over the last 2 to 3400 years the phenotype phenotype is the jacket which is what it looks like we have dogs dogs of blue eyes dogs with crazy tufts of hair on their body and no hair anywhere else short like a dogs double coated dogs weve created these pants. Asked dick varieties of breeds because we like diversity in what we see despite the fact that we have bred dogs to have certain characteristics we have not bred out of them there came a slew pests d. N. A. So yes just as you can have brown hair blond hair or you can have blue eyes or green eyes brown eyes your nutritional requirements as a human being remain the same despite the fact that you look vastly different depending on what your d. N. A. Dictates. And. I have concern about new technologies and i think society should try to help them get gauged in those concerns. But we also should have concerns about doing nothing doing nothing is extraordinarily risky you know world with some point 5000000000 people and a whole series of. Ancient Technology Used to that are not necessarily suitable for the more. And i need another one of the highest income huevos to assume. Somebody could solve mukti about. Closing this way got to doubt it so hard not to think of the mother disappeared this moment the work of 8 hours and i dont mean to start then if. This is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights in his room waiting. On. The floor you can feel the feet on this wolf this would be a if you have called the ability to put the names on the. What i think is this is the fans that is a constant. Through. Thanks guys or by the apple survival. When customers go buy your dish. Then else well reduce and lower. Thats undercutting but whats good for market is not good for the global economy. The Major Companies criticize raw diets warning consumers against the hazards of feeding romita pets claiming it can make your animal sick. However those companies who repeatedly criticize feeding world diet have yet to produce a single study to provide any substantial evidence to support their claims. The problem with the types of Research Studies that you are describing they would go at least 7 day to 10 years in length before you would get a definitive answer within our. Legal requirements and framework said its not f. D. A. Is responsibility to do such studies the research has not been done on raw foods not because there is an interest but because the 1000000. 00 it takes to fund that particular research simply isnt there now integrative in areas are working on that but trisha veterinarians will say until we see the research were not interested in recommending this particular food for dog and cat owners we just dont believe its safe and healthy the frustration is is that we dont have clinically Proven Research demonstrating that dry and canned foods are wildly healthier for pets as well. The larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because theyre already making a 1000000000. 00 on it and theres no reason to do that Research Since major pet Food Companies are involved with and have influence over vet student lack of education surrounding role diets exist heavily among traditional vets when science come to veterinarians have who have not been educated about raw foods at all and say im considering feeding my pets raw meat of course the. The logical conclusion is why theres a lot of bacteria in the raw diets and its kind of a ticking time clock if you could harm them or why would you do that or its risky i think were all food as too much of the potential for negative side effects that its just not worth it peoples biggest question is there could be. Pathogens or bacteria parasites within the food that could cause illness to pats when dogs eat raw diets their feces their poop has a lot of bacteria. Lets talk about. Dogs if given the opportunity will eat. Dogs and cats being carnivores are equipped to be able to process their evolutionary food source which is raw meat. All of their digestion has acclimated and has evolved to be able to process whole living unadulterated protein so from ripping and tearing their dentition is set up to be able to process meat their stomach acid is very acidic in fact a p. H. Of water which is highly acidic that stomach acid is in place to be able to neutralize pathogens or potential harmful bacteria that could be present in the food coming outside the pet Food Industry looks like the perfect industry there are beautiful packaging there are diets for every disease in disorder theres all kinds of different colors and beautiful pictures and if you look a little deeper unfortunately that isnt what the pet Food Industry is all about. Ive collected a few examples here and were going to go over some labels but 1st example is a food that on the front says be several meals fully prepared and bursting with flavor who doesnt want that in a pet food 1st a previous record 2nd ingredient is soybean meal starting gradient is beast and bone meal for thing gradient is a crown a week followed by animal fat preserved with b. Ha we can see they are the ha is the toxic preservative that should not be found in any human or pet foods despite the fact that it is the 1st 3 ingredients are carbohydrates that are totally unnecessary followed by a totally toxic preservatives so cute bag not our. Next we have a food that has one actually several packaging awards because its so beautiful there are chunks of meat falling from the sky and im saying beautiful here of course here we have a nice array of radioactive colors that have been edited for you the consumer dogs and cats cannot see all these different colors this is added in because you get my cash it looks beautiful my pet would love it but the amazing buzzwords like a full life. One town or doesnt want their pet to have a playful life this is just entirely a marketing 1st thing greeting a ground yellow corn totally biologically unnecessary 2nd ingredient you can buy products meal totally rendered inappropriate in terms of quality to be nourishing your dog with turning green corn gluten meal very allergenic totally unnecessary for think whole wheat flour and then animal fat although this really looks to be beautiful and something youd be interested in nursing or my recommendation is to avoid it over here and they have a special latte right to help with prebiotic fiber theres a lot of these patented words that are trademark words that companies will use to how kind of distorted their product to be Something Special included as a means of you coming back and buying it because other brands youre comparing it to doesnt have to help its a good so good marketing on that behalf this particular food is b. L. S. Quality if you are a goat. When you add up organic from rice organic only organic millet organic barley are getting grain store go organic peas organic potatoes. Portion of the ingredients in this part. Their food doesnt outweigh the organic chicken or the chicken me im healthy im really what are you supposed to say unhealthy the worst possible food in my opinion you could never featured doggy cause number one ingredient beef byproduct bread fruit toast corn syrup what is by product by product is whats left over after an animal has been slaughtered and all the edible parts have been removed the criticism lies in the mystery of the meats being use. What is quality quality is a term used when discussing how good or bad the world material that goes into the food actually is whether this protein comes from diseased animals euthanize animals kill human food waste or processing the industry doesnt have to disclose the source of the ingredients. That doesnt prevent them from easily proclaiming that every ounce of their pet food is of the highest quality. The issue is on the back of the dog and Cat Food Bank it doesnt say render terrible quality protein it doesnt say that it also we also cant list legally grade a u. S. D. A. Inspected meat so this leaves this giant gap for the consumer to have to fill in that void and its while they confusing the controversy with kibble exist because troy food is forward of moisture. When your animal eats try to put in a permanent state of dehydration the quality insourcing of where the ingredients came from is kept secret in even if the ingredients were perfect the manufacturing process to make any product shelf stable for extended periods is performed adik strangely high temperatures. This creates 2 potent carcinogens that are cyclical means in a cruel mind however most companies do not disclose to the consumer what temperature their foods are cooked and they act as if the trace amounts of carcinogens posed no threat. It was a real 948 when veterinarian marc morris decided to create the 1st pet food still recognizable today at a time mark morris was critical of pet foods for lacking Quality Ingredients and he wanted to make a superior product backed by Scientific Research he teamed up with canning manufacturer burton hill to fulfill his vision. The result became what we know today is science diet sold in veterinarian offices all across the country. But in 2013 the wall street journal reported hills was starting to see its profits decline because consumers no longer identified with their ingredients. Science diet has since refocused on rebranding their image as more natural creating new product lines and shying away from controversial in rendered ingredients the National Renders Association argues that theyre providing a necessary role when it comes to the recycling of animal carcasses. If there wasnt anywhere to put the animal waste from the human Food Industry where would it go in the earth in the air. In the ocean. It all has to go somewhere. We have a huge Quality Control problem meaning the quality of the gradients coming into the industry anything from potentially fabulous u. S. D. A. Inspected human grade all the way down to entirely rendered which is every piece and part you could ever imagine actually probably dont even want to think about the final result is used to manufacture hundreds of products everything from so few channels is the fed food cosmetics that the company is blending is recital they are great its together with synthetic vitamins and minerals to create a profitable quote complete and balanced diet that is then marketed to tell letters and in 100 years time we have successfully convinced an entire. Narration of pat letters that why would you feel anything but dog food or cats looking at the rules that guide the pet Food Industry its easy to see how they are set up to benefit the corporations over the consumer. The regulators have created special terminology for packages assuming that consumers would be able to guess what they mean any product containing the words dinner nugget or formula only have to contain 25 percent actual meat any product labeled with only has to contain 3 percent me furthermore the socalled flavor rule a levels for any protein to be listed on the back it may be flavored as meat but in reality the back that contains the word flavor may contain little to no meat by using the key word slavery on the package the pet food could but does not have to contain any meat at all but its acceptable for the package to contain an image of a fresh state in gradient panels to display certain percentage of the protein percentages do not represent actual meat content in the product as protein come from a multitude of sources this raises the question if the average consumer knows that the terminology used on packages reveal the exact amounts of meats used in foods trying to understand who exactly makes these rules and what their actual Legal Authority is leads to many different organizations the association of american feed control officials is a Nongovernmental Organization they have a model bill that that sets the standards in terms of ingredients nutrient levels package labeling in terms of ingredients as well for pet Food Companies to abide by each year members of after come together to update their official publication which defines each ingredient thats allowed to go into pet food. Members of the major pet Food Companies it in the meetings as well below in their voice to be heard when it comes to what goes into pet food. So who is africa. I think if you look at our web sites we have some very clear statements about the fact that afterwards not a Regulatory Organization itself thats one thing important the 2nd is that doesnt approve products well we do is we deal with the ingredients in the Scientific Validation if you will of the ingredients that go into the food and then the actual claim that a manufacturer makes that is after all approved is probably not representing what but after itself would say f. D. A. Has worked closely with f. Go on the regulation of all animal feeds not just pet food i think the important thing to remember is f. D. A. Is a true Regulatory Authority were after 0 is an association of state feed controls for shuls when you look at the manual i think you really begin to see how the interests of africa and the pet Food Industry alive actually putting together a list of ingredients that you would want to see and that was that you would want your pets to eat and then forcing that on the industry theyve done it in reverse and basically just accepted the standards that the industry has been using for years now use of the term or claim Natural Pet Food labels so if i want to use the word natural on my dog food label sure are the rules and im quoting this verbatim a feed or ingredient drives solely from plant animal or mind source either and its unprocessed state or having been subject to physical process heat process rendering purification extraction etc it goes on and sensually these are all definitions of the antithesis of natural. Please. Live. Live live. Live. Live. Live live. Live. Live live. Live live. Live. Live. Oh. Please. Live. Lists lists lists click. List. And very well might continue watching on since last. Tough and i mean another one of the highest amounts huevos to assume because the ballot itself mukti about. Closing this way got to doubt so hard not to think of the mother disappeared this moment then look like a coward and im going to start then if. This is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights in a useful way. To. The floor and you can feel the fee was out of this bill frist would have been there if you have all the ability to get the payment on the. What i think is this is the funds that is a constant. Thought. Yeah the belong to me so. Its all of them. Can you stuck in the middle of the screen to see disconnects. Cargo point informers is the deal for normal porch. Down a suspect still and dons of the possibly shit message will. Be soon think i dont want to be people watching the little man on the. Dock with the collar discardable much on the bit. O.
