What Makes Prescription Diet's Special?
What's in a lot of Dog Foods?
The first ingredients in many dog foods is often corn, a difficult to digest grain, which limits its nutritional value for dogs. We consider this to be a low quality ingredient. It is also commonly associated with allergy and skin problems. Powdered cellulose is further filler - more commonly known as sawdust.
Many other dog foods use by-products as the sole meat-related ingredient. Chicken by-product meal - a very low quality ingredient. This is defined as "consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice".
Peanut hulls are the ground outer casings of peanuts, and an utter waste product.The use of soy is a further negative. We prefer not to see the use of any form of soy in dog food as this is an ingredient of low quality and commonly causing allergy problems. Soybean meal, the ground remains of soybeans after extraction of oil, provides additional low quality protein to the food. Soybean Mill Run is the ground hulls (outer shell) of soybeans after the useful bean meat and oil has been extracted. Alongside the sawdust, peanut hulls and zero meat content this food appears more of a means of waste disposal than dog food. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.
We often note the use of chemical preservatives - BHA, BHT and ethoxyquin. These chemicals are either banned or heavily regulated in use in human food due to being carcinogenic.
Hills Prescription and Science Diets remove the fillers, the chemicals, and waste and by products we wouldn't eat ourselves and provides your pets with genuine 100% healthy nutrition rich pet safe food stuffs just the way nature intended.
