Big Kibble

The Hidden Dangers of the Pet Food Industry and How to Do Better by Our Dogs

By: Shawn Buckley, Dr. Oscar Chavez

Narrated by: Susie Berneis

What's really going into commercial dog food? The answer is horrifying.

Big Kibble is big business: $75 billion globally. A handful of multinational corporations dominate the industry and together own as many as 80 percent of all brands. This comes as a surprise to most people, but what’s even more shocking is how lax the regulations and guidelines are around these products. The guidelines - or lack thereof - for pet food allow producers to include ever-cheaper ingredients and create ever-larger earnings. For example, “legal” ingredients in kibble include poultry feces, sawdust, expired food, and diseased meat, among other horrors. Many vets still don’t know that kibble is not the best food for dogs because Big Kibble funds nutrition research. So far, these corporations have been able to cut corners and still market and promote feed-grade food as if it were healthful and beneficial - until now.

Just as you are what you eat, so is your dog. Once you stop feeding your dog the junk that’s in kibble or cans, you have taken the first steps to improve your dog’s health, behavior, and happiness.

You know the unsavory side of Big Tobacco and Big Pharma. Now Shawn Buckley, Dr. Oscar Chavez, and Wendy Paris explain all you need to know about unsavory Big Kibble - and offer a brighter path forward for you and your pet.

I guarantee you will want to make some big changes once you learn what's really going into your dogs food...even your high end expensive kibble. Is disgusting and our beloved dogs deserve better!!

Super interesting!

Loved the book, my only critique is that I wish there were accompanying PDFs with the recipes from the book, because it's hard to follow when you are listening to it on audiobook. Otherwise, it was a fascinating listen!
