Wikipedia... humph!
Well, this is where most people are likely to go if they are looking for information. We suspect that the article has been written by the PR department of a major dog food manufacturer. It pretends to be fair and even handed but the truth is… it isn’t. Still, useful background and an example of how clever the £1 billion dog food industry are at protecting their interests. Imagine if dog owners were to discover how processed dog food adversely affects their pet’s health! Imagine if they learned what actually goes into processed dog food (even the expensive stuff)!
