When perusing on the ingredient list found at the back of the bag of your pet food, you will observe some of these terms in the list – additives, artificial coloring, preservatives, flavoring agents. All of these are meant to increase the shelf life and improve the flavor of pet food. However, most pet owners are concerned about the additives in their pet’s food. Artificial food coloring is known to be carcinogenic. They also were implicated to cause allergic reactions in canines. A few coloring agents commonly found in pet food are Yellow 5 and 6, Red 40, Blue 2, and titanium dioxide.
Pet food is also known to contain animal digest (may also specify it as lamb or chicken digest) as a flavoring agent. These may commonly be derived from 4-D animals (e.g. disabled, diseased, dead, or dying).
If you have any questions and concerns regarding your pet’s overall diet, contact your animal hospital Temecula, CA as soon as possible. Visit the website.
