"...failed to meet AAFCO's MINIMUM nutrition standards".
If the product is providing less than the minimum then it stands to reason pets eating it are going to sick. But not quickly. Slowly. Insiduously.
And know that the nutritional illness they develop, be it chronic inflammation, a roaring skin or gut condition or creeping liver, kidney or heart disease, will NEVER be attributed to the dirt poor foods your vet has been selling under the illegal pretence of "prescription".
And it wasn't just prescription diets. It was all "complete" foods sold in the UK, they sampled well over a 100 different product. Around 2/3 of them failed to meet the minimum standards (which is already a very low bar, set by the industry itself).
So if you are still feeding "complete" dry pet food YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED to supplement it with something nutritious to plug the gaps.
That's why I invented Power Paste and it's now available in many independent pet stores across Ireland and the UK.
It's available cooked or raw and it contains all the bits I think would greatly benefit dogs trying to eek out an existence on those products - lovely fresh organ meats, some fresh Atlantic sardine, a little lightly steamed local veg and a bevvy of power additions that you wish your dog was getting each day (and in a dose you would hope they were included).
It has a dual purpose, it also makes DIY raw feeding an absolute cinch. I go down to the local butcher and get chicken thighs and beef mince. That's the meat and bone done. Scoop of Power Paste and boom, you have one of the best meals a dog can eat, at half the price of a comparable product online. And now you NOW what your dog is getting.
