Their are many reasons why dog owners shouldn't feed their dogs canned or dry dog food, I'll go over some of the more important ones below.

As with any canned products canned dog food is injected with all sorts of harmful preservatives and ingredients to improve the taste, texture and even the appearance of the food, this in itself can cause tainted dog food.

One thing that surprises many people is that dry dog food is even worse! The reason for this is that canning the food in itself is a preserving process, so in order to prolong the shelf life of dry dog food it contains a lot more preservatives than the canned alternative.

A serious cause of tainted dog food is the main ingredients themselves. Dog food is basically made from any part of the animal that is not good enough for human consumption, eg bones, blood, intestines etc. This is a dead giveaway, if these ingredients are unhealthy for humans to consume why are we feeding them to our dogs? On top of this all this, these animal by-products are usually already filled with preservatives and other harmful ingredients before they are even processed into this tainted dog food.

Unfortunately it happens quite often that animals who are killed by disease make their way into the process and this is when thousands of cans of tainted dog food are produced because of one bad batch.

Throw in some moldy grain, and one or two more unnatural additives and you have a seriously deadly tainted dog food cocktail. It doesn't take a genius to understand that this food is very harmful to our dogs in the long run.
