If you have a strong stomach and really want to know what's in commercial pet food, watch the show on CNBC February 10 at 10pmEST.

I doubt I'll tune in. Truthfully, I wouldn't want to see a show on what is in the tasty chorizo and eggs the cooks at work make for breakfast, the tamales the grandmama down the street makes at Christmas (pork and beef heads) or an awesome chili cheese dog.

 

This rumble has been going on for years and years with varying degrees of validation. Bottom line for me is I don't have the time, desire or ability (balanced nutrient, vitamin and mineral etc. wise) to home cook for my pets so they'll just have to eat bags of food consisting of what some claim to be ground up cats and flea collars.

Sandra, thank you for this information.

I've watched it, very interesting documentary and I would recommend viewing it and drawing your own conclusions.

I checked my TV guide and CNBC doesn't seem to be airing it here?? It says something about Facebook will be on, instead.

Unfortunately it's been pulled from the programming schedule. I'm a skeptic so I assume it's due to pressure from commercial pet food companies but that's just my personal opinion.

I kind of agree, though I wouldn't mind a 30 second, cliff notes type, rundown of the content of the broadcast..

 

I do however trust that the regulatory folks keep the benzene and funny chemicals out of the food supply and for that reason alone I would watch the show, even with the cliff notes summary...

 

EDIT: I followed a few links after the one provided above...I wonder if any of the high end food companies are using the stuff as referenced in the Baltimore article...

Where is the "like" button when I need it?

 

I agree - I do the best I can, and research as much as I can. But, in the end, they get what I give them...

Do people really think "human quality" food goes in to dog food? Of course it doesn't! They only put pictures of that stuff (you'd eat) on the bag. Marketing. You probably wouldn't buy hot dogs or chicken nuggets if they put what went in to them on the package either.

 

Dogs have survived for thousands of generations living off the scraps and left over stuff that humans wouldn't or couldn't eat. Commercially made dog food is no different....though the chemicals, additives and preservatives can be quite sketchy. I guess someone in the gov't is regulating it all....

 

Here's an old "how it's made" episode for dog food...apparently some sort of vegetarian variety they dont' show any meat in the process.
