About dog food??????????

Question

is it true that to help a dog digest its food even though not on package that they put lyme stone or lyme rock in there food when its made i was told that they do..... please help!!!!!! answer or tell me how to find out for sure

Answer 1

No.  All ingredients are on the package.  However some ingredients are misleading.  For example "chicken meal" and "by products" are not nice things.  Think "brain matter, spinal tissue and ground bone from animals which may or may not have been healthy when slaughtered".  Think "stuff I would not want to eat".  When you read "bone meal" realize there is no specification as to what sort of animals provided the bone.  Could be dogs.  Dogs are not cannibalistic.  

Buy only quality dog food and read the ingredients.  Do not go into your local convenient store and buy the cheapest thing you can find.
