WHY KIBBLES ARE DANGEROUS FOR YOUR PET

These fake vitamins and minerals certainly don’t help a dog’s health. In fact, studies show that the body struggles to absorb these synthetic add-ons, and long-term they will almost certainly cause health problems in dogs.

Not to mention,the risk of the quantity of the  artificial vitamins and minerals going wrong.

This happened to a major player in 2019, when Hill’s Pet Nutrition issued a worldwide recall of 22 million cans- all because they contained toxic levels of Vitamin D.

How The Body Reacts

Although the short-term implications of feeding kibble may go unnoticed, its long-term effects are undeniable.

Many ingredients used in the production of kibble, including its fillers, additives and preservatives, have all been linked to a whole host of conditions and illnesses. These include but are not limited to- cancer, organ failure, heart disease, allergies, obesity, diabetes and dental issues. There’s enough research out there to show clear links between a long-term diet of kibble and bad health implications for dogs.

What Dog Owners Can Do

If you’re feeding your dog kibble every day, then just know it really isn’t good for them, and even a small change like reducing how much of it they eat can help. If you’re unsure about completely adopting a new diet for your dog, then how about slowly introducing healthier options.

In the long term,the ideal would be a complete transition to a clean, raw diet.  A raw diet will nourish them just as nature intended. Dogs, or any animal for that matter, are no different to humans with the gut playing a crucial role in determining how healthy and happy they are. If there’s one thing you take away from this; it should be- take care of the gut, and you take care of the dog.
