Hidden High Carbs In Dog Food
- Most commercial dog foods are dominated by refined starches like dent/field corn that act as hidden sugar.
- High-carb dog diets can spike blood sugar and drive obesity, fatty liver, and metabolic disease in dogs.

- 'Meat and bone meal' can come from low-quality rendered sources including dead, dying, diseased, or disabled animals.
- Rendering destroys nutrients and there is little oversight on the origin or safety of these meals.

- He cites lack of oversight on incoming animals to rendering facilities as a safety concern.
