A Safe Dog Food?

They say that the dog food recall is over but should it be? Every years thousands of dogs die from preventable diseases due to malnutrition. Safe dog food is harder to come by then most people think.

Dog food companies use a preservative called Ethyoxyquin (EQ). EQ has been banned from human consumption for years because the side effects of being exposed to it are the same as Agent Orange.

In dogs EQ has been linked to immune deficiency syndrome, spleen, liver, and stomach cancers, and a host of allergies.

The dog food companies are so unregulated that they are allowed to use a known cancer causing preservative in your dogs food.
