That company has a WRONG INGREDIENT LIST!!!!!!
That is not what is in it!!
Abadyfeed.com!!!!!!!!
That is the ONLY site you can trust...I just compared your list to an actual box and it is NOT THE SAME!!!!
The Abady Dog and Cat Food Company is renowned for making foods that prevent or remedy (where possible) common problems. Problems such as "allergic" conditions, auto-immune, skin & coat problems, diabetes, thyroid, heart and kidney breakdowns, gastro-intestinal problems including "sensitive stomach", colitis, irritable bowel and structural defects such as hip dysplaysia, HOD, OCD, reproductive disorders and others. These problems now exceed epidemic proportions. The Abady Company has discovered that these problems are largely caused by insufficient supplies of quality animal protein in the diet. Since these problems are widespread it is clear that this dietary fault applies to most feeds manufactured in the country.
Unfortunately, there are no voices to help guide dog owners toward solutions. Most journals that have information to sell appear to be either over influenced by industry rhetoric or are simply misguided and improperly informed. Such a circumstance, for example, applies to the Whole Dog Journal (WDJ) whose influence is far greater than the quality of the information they provide. For instance, the WDJ continues, "we select foods that contain ingredients that one could serve at the dinner table, that is why foods containing by-products are rejected." This is all nonsense for a number of reasons. First, muscle meat used in animal food is largely from 3D or downed animals. Second, the use of "human grade" beef muscle meat would be prohibitive in cost. By-products, on the other hand, cost far less, making the amounts that can be included in a ration much greater, and they are largely derived from animals slaughtered for human consumption. As is often the case, the WDJ is misinformed and confused.
Another point of greatest importance and totally missed by the WDJ is that by rejecting nutritious by-products it is impossible to make a dog or cat food that contains enough quality animal protein to ensure its effectiveness and safety. This Journal by its statements and omissions has been misleading dog feeders since its inception seven years ago.
Many companies may avoid including by-products in their formulas for fear of being "blacklisted" by the WDJ. As a result many rations are impoverished while the degree of suffering among dogs and cats continues to escalate. Here's why: because of the way kibble (extruded) is processed, its ability to absorb moisture during the drying phase of the process is limited. The largest amount of raw meat that can be included in a dry ration is 20%, which includes 75% moisture, leaving 25% solids of which roughly half is protein. This represents 12% of the total protein in the ration, leaving 88% of the protein in the diet (on a solids basis) that has to be filled with protein. The same issue is involved when fresh by-products are included in a formula. Most of the WDJ's favorites fill that 88% with gluten and other plant protein. Gluten, the protein of grain, is used regularly in the manufacturing of dog and cat foods. It can permanently damage the animal's ability to absorb nutrients and has a nutritional value of zero. By-products meals, a favorite target of the WDJ, are even more effective than fresh by-products, and as a result of the campaign waged against them by the WDJ, they are also avoided by many dog feeders.
Under pressure from the Abady Company, the WDJ claims to have modified its stance against by-products. The WDJ will now "accept by-products providing that they are in supportive role." What does this mean? Actually it means nothing. As explained above, the maximum amount of raw meat that can be included in dry food is 20% of the ration. This represents 12% of the protein in the ration on a solids basis. If by-products are included as a supportive entity, they would become part of that 12%, lowering the amount of raw meat in the ration. Still leaving 88% of protein to be filled, but with what? Gluten? Or vegetable protein? If by-products meals were included instead of fresh by-products very little would need to be used because of the concentration of protein (60%) in the dry meals, still leaving the bulk of the protein in the ration to be filled.
Dogs and cats are carnivores; they require large amount of flesh and by-products as a base of their rations. This is how all Abady foods are constructed and also why Abady foods perform so uniquely.
In order to further emphasize the "brilliant" analytical powers of the WDJ's brain trust, the WDJ often chooses as its top foods the worst products imaginable. For instance, products with numerous sources of saponins and phaseolins. Saponins are plant toxins with the same molecular structure as snake venom. Saponins are the cause of bloat and torsion, they interfere with reproduction, can cause reabsorptions and abortions, gastro-intestinal disorders, and hemorrhages in a number of internal organs. Saponins are found in beet pulp, soybeans, sorghum, tomato pomace, alfalfa, oats, potatoes, peas, beans, yucca, and garlic. Phaseolins stimulate rapid growth while interfering with the body's ability to utilize protein. They are commonly found in ingredients that contain saponins. To make matters worse, many of these "pick" products contain very little animal protein, but lots of gluten. Gluten is the protein of grain with a nutritional value of zero and serious side effects. They also contain large quantities of expandable fibrous material, which is undesirable and problem-causing. But, of course, they do not contain by-products.
The WDJ claims that evaluating the merits of a food is purely subjective - there is no need for science or apparently even common sense to determine if a ration is adequate.
We disagree.
