Here's what these companies doesn't want you to know. What their science diet won't admit. What your vet was never taught in school:
Dogs need omega 3 fatty acids in a specific ratio to survive.
Their wolf ancestors got these essential fats from eating whole prey, organs, brain tissue, bone marrow rich in EPA and DHA.
These aren't just "supplements." They're literally the building blocks of every cell in your dog's body.
Without proper omega 3 levels:
- Inflammation runs wild through their system
- Joint cartilage breaks down faster than it can repair
- Brain function slows down
- Their immune system attacks their own organs
- Skin and coat quality drops
Commercial dog food processing destroys 98% of natural Omega-3's. The high heat extrusion process that makes those little kibble shapes literally cooks away the most important nutrients your dog needs.
But pet food companies discovered something in the 1970's: Dogs would still eat it. And it was cheaper to manufacture. Much cheaper.
They knew it would slowly kill dogs. They sold it anyway.
