3 Leading Causes of Death in Dogs (# due to Kibbles)

Ok, did you do it? If not go now, otherwiseread on.

The Three Leading Causes of Death in Dogsare:
1. Cancer
2. Heart Disease
3. Kidney Disease

1. Cancer: The chemicals & preservativesused in many commercial dog foods are knownto cause these cancers..
- Kidney cancer- Bladder cancer- Skin cancer- Stomach cancer- Spleen cancer- Leukemia
The same cancer-causing chemicals &preservatives have been banned from usein human foods because of these knownproblems...

2. Heart Disease: The high proportions ofcheap unhealthy fats in found in many commercialdog foods cause arteriosclerosis and arterialblockages resulting in death by heart attack.
But also, the lack of more expensive omega-3essential fatty acids (EFA) also causes canine heartfailure because without omega-3, ventriculararrhythmias occur and can result in sudden death

3. Kidney Disease: An 11-year study of acute renalfailure in dogs concluded 45% of cases are causedby toxins and 35% by infectious disease.
In the US, April-May 2007, over 2200 dogs died in a3-week period from poisonous toxins found inthe commercial dog foods they ate.
And nutritionally inadequate diets lead to defectiveadrenal glands unable to manufacture adequatecortisol, a hormone vital for health and resistanceto infectious disease (Dr. Alfred Plechner DMV).

if you feed commercial dog food, than consider very carefullythe possible consequences.
