Susan and I dive into the hidden truths about the pet food industry, including how condemned animals and waste products are legally allowed in kibble and even raw pet foods, and how misleading labels trick consumers into believing their pets are eating “chicken” when it’s actually feed-grade material. We also discuss the regulatory loopholes, lack of enforcement by the FDA, and why choosing human-grade food is the only way to ensure quality for your pets. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
Susan Thixton is a leading pet food consumer advocate and founder of Truth About Pet Food.
