HOW LONG IS YOUR PET FOOD IN STORAGE BEFORE IT GETS TO YOUR PET

Have you ever wondered what stages your pets food goes through before it gets to your home?

In the last blog we talked about the beginning of commercial pet food.  After the human grade crops go to market, the crops that are left for pet food are put in silos for months.  As mentioned before, this produces mold and mildew on the crops making this a breeding ground for mice and other rodents.  By the time the crops get to the manufacturing plant there are dead rodents and feces along with the mold all through the food.  

Pet food is made in such mass quantities that powerful, harmful chemicals such as BHA and BHT  are added to assure long shelf lives sometimes for up to two years!  When these pet foods are waiting to go to the store, it is not uncommon for them to be stored in tractor trailers or warehouses with no temperature control.  

When the food finally get to the store, who knows how long the food sits on the store shelves before it is bought.  Sometimes when the food is in the store, it is put in the window where the sun hits it or under the heater, neither of these spots are good for storage.

So as you can see, many pet foods not only have no nutritional value, they can be and often are very harmful to your pets.
