Did you know you are being cheated by the dog food manufacturers about the proteins you are paying for in your dog’s commercial food.
3 Good Proteins:
Muscle meats
Eggs
Organ meats (such as liver) .
3 Worthless Proteins:
Wheat
Corn
Barley
What’s the Point in Knowing This?
Dog food manufacturers must have at least 9% protein in their food (called the Guaranteed Analysis) or they are required to print on the label that the food is not nutritionally adequate.

Next time I’ll show you 8 signs of protein deficiency.
