Take the dog food ingredient label yourself. As I mentioned earlier, I like customers to
go home, cut the label off of their dry dog food and actually see what they're feeding
their dog. Many dog foods are comprised of a lot of non natural preservatives which instill
color, texture and flavor. As I also mentioned, manufacturers put a lot of fillers in dog
food which give the essence of the dog being full but still lacks nutritional value and
content. As I also mentioned, the American agency AFCO has a label on dog food stating
that it does have the daily requirements for a dog's diet. Even though an inferior product
might have the AFCO label, I still like to challenge my customers to see exactly what's
on the label and what they're giving to their dog. My philosophy at Doggie Steps Dog Training
is I would never feed my dog anything that I wouldn't eat myself.
