It is worth wondering why when it comes to us humans, we always recommend what is natural and avoid, as much as possible, processed foods. But when it comes to dogs, it is commercialized dog foods, which are obviously unnatural, that are recommended and promoted. Are they really concerned about our pet dogs? Or are they more concerned about what profit they will make? Isn’t it too obvious that what they say on their ads are different in so many ways. Don’t be fooled! We can only obtain “Natural” “Balanced” and “Grain Free” diet if we give them home made dog food. Unlike dog foods on bags/packs, home made dog food is natural, safe, free from harmful chemicals, balanced and grain free.
