Canadian Pet Medication

I was reading about Canadian pet medication and the pet health system in Canada. They suggested that the next time you visit your local supermarket take your calculator and do an interesting comparison experiment. Write down the prices for ground beef and then the price per gram of the canned dog foods. You will find that the cheapest canned dog food is as much as 5 times more expensive than what cheap ground beef costs. Now do what are they really putting in there. If after processing, canning, marketing, distribution and advertising they can still charge less than ground beef which we know is made from the leftovers of the slaughter house are all those "healthy," "nutritious" claims really true?

Canned food is not pure meat and is not supposed to be unless so indicated on the label. The FDA has regulations that indicate what percentage of the ingredients of canned dog food must be meat as per the label. Beef stew must be 25 percent beef, beef dinner must be between 25 and 95 percent beef, beef should be 95 percent beef, all beef must contain only beef and therefore not additives or supplements, beef flavor should have enough meat to give the canned food the flavor of beef. The fillers that dog food manufacturers use are rice, barley, corn, meat byproducts, meals, powders, additives and water. The meat that they use can often be highly questionable as the regulations regarding the quality of meat to be used in canned dog food are not very comprehensive or clear. So the Canadian pet medication magazine suggested that you be very careful about what pet food you do end up buying.
