Potentially Harmful Artificial Additives
You might be surprised (or not) to learn that the FDA allows small doses of some additives that could be toxic to dogs in their food. Reviews.com points out that propelene glycol, which is added for moisture, can cause irritation or organ toxicity in large doses. Others they disqualified contained additives that are thought to cause hyperactivity, allergic reactions, cancer, and irritation.
None of these foods contain these ingredients in harmful amounts, but may cause concern when you’re feeding them to your dog a little at a time, multiple times a day, every day, for years.
“Healthy dogs won’t fall ill from occasionally eating foods with artificial additives. But if a dog eats those additives every day of his life, they could cumulatively result in negative health effects.”
