Most pet foods are manufactured at 1 of 2 manufacturers. That’s how the recall in 2007 expanded to so many brands.

For privately manufactured food that has been before it’s ever released for sale, See my suggestions here.  https://www.happytrailsandwagntails.com/dog-foods-without-copper/

I FINALLY found a few COPPER FREE or low copper cat foods. 🐶 For the new dog food blog, sign up to my newsletter and/or bookmark my blog ⬇️

🐶 Excess copper in processed dog food is causing liver damage in dogs. Is your dog one of them?

Copper levels in dogs' livers has more than doubled in just 13 years. A 2021 Cornell University study found 58% of liver biopsies had inflammatory liver disease and more than 400 mcg/gram copper concentration.

So more than half the dogs they looked at had copper toxicity ... and the problem is rising! And too much copper can cause inflammatory liver disease.

⚠️ Here are some of the signs:
🔸 Loss of appetite
🔸 Weight loss
🔸 Vomiting or diarrhea
🔸 Increased thirstIncreased urination
🔸 Confusion or an unstable walk
🔸 Weakness
🔸 Seizures
🔸 And once you see signs of liver disease, it's already progressed and you need to take action.

BUT YOU'RE NOT TO BLAME. Slowly, dog food manufacturers have been adding more copper ... and they probably don't even realize it.

Here's why you'll find too much copper in dog food:
🔸 Synthetic pre-mixes are used to return nutrients to processed dog food
🔸 Too much liver is added to foods
🔸 AAFCO required manufacturers to use copper sulfate with higher bioavailability ... even when there were no reports or concerns of copper deficiencies
🔸 More copper rich foods like liver, fish, seafood, chickpeas and sweet potatoes are 🔸 being added to recipes
🔸 Grain-free foods use high amounts of sweet potatoes and chick peas that are needed as starches in their processing

And it's easy for these levels to rise in dogs as they need very little copper ... and copper deficiency is relatively unheard of ... so there's no need to add it to dog food.

⚠️ Pet food manufacturers are not required to reveal the amount of copper in the Guaranteed Analysis. So if you want to know how much copper is in your dog's food, you need to ask them. The amount of copper should be somewhat close to the minimum levels of 7.3 mg/kg for adults or 12.4 mg/kg for puppies.

If your dog food maker can’t tell you how much copper is in the food, buy from a company that will!
