In our opinion, this myth has been perpetuated by McKibble and McCan to discourage pet parents from fooding real food. The truth is that some commercial feed can cause obesity, diabetes, cancer, and allergies or allergic reactions, such as skin rash. Additionally, store bought, or veterinarian sold, kibble can include a long list of ingredients that are not so healthy for your pets. Many dry dog feed contain animal by-product (waste), otherwise known as the waste items humans won’t or shouldn’t eat, as well as grain or grain by-products (waste), such as corn meal or wheat. These by-products can contribute to health problems for your pet because they are not part of their natural diet. Unfortunately, feed manufactured in other countries, especially Asian countries, can contain other harmful ingredients, which can be very hazardous to your pet’s health.

How Dogs Came to Run the World
The downfall of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago gave mammals an incredible opening, and they ran for it, rapidly becoming the dominant land vertebrates. Among those to emerge were the earliest carnivorans (members of the order Carnivora), whose living representatives include the cats and closely allied families, such as hyenas and mongooses, as well as dogs and closely allied families, such as bears, weasels, and seals.
Fooding for the Future
Like their huumans, cats and dogs have their own fooding behaviors. When observed closely, you will notice small differences between mutts, pups, masters and nobles. Some research indicate that these differences start right from the food selection step, when the bowl is offered. The whole food selection routine requires organoleptic attributes of the food such as odor, taste, and texture.
