This is a very thorough and extensive 35 page website about allopathic, holistic and integrative veterinary, cat / dog nutrition and what BigPharmaMafia, bad veterinarians and pet food companies who make very low-quality pet foods don’t or won’t tell you. It will always be a work in progress. The site is sometimes intentionally provocative & outspoken in order to disturb the status quo, which needs to be educated and must be changed! All of the information on this website is fact and has been extensively researched, sourced and documented and is extremely well received by both good veterinarians and pet parents, having had 500,000 hits in a single day!
Ingredients to Absolutely Avoid in Pet Foods
Most or ALL of the main ingredients in pet foods sold in grocery stores, vet clinics and animal hospitals help provide patients for vets
Roger Biduk: Ingredients to Absolutely Avoid in Pet Foods
May 23rd
Roger Biduk says “you are what you eat”. “What illnesses and diseases leading to premature death can ingredients like grains, corn, wheat, soy, by-products, meat/beef and bone meal, animal digest, animal fat and many other inappropriate ingredients in pet foods sold in veterinarian clinics and grocery stores contribute to? How about: cancer, arthritis, obesity, periodontal disease, heart disease, dull or unhealthy coats, skin problems, hip dysplasia, eye and ear problems, fleas and other parasites, gum disease, lick granulomas, thyroid imbalances, personality disorders, birth defects, breeding problems, diabetes, chronic renal failure (CRF), urinary crystals, cystitis, (bladder inflammation), bladder/kidney stones, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease) and other major and minor illnesses and diseases.
“What happens when you feed your cat/dog a balanced, enzyme-rich raw meat diet or a commercial species-appropriate diet that resembles one: No visits to the dreaded veterinarian’s office for food-related illnesses or diseases leading to premature death!“

“NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING is more important in determining the health and lifespan of your animal companion than the ingredients in the food you give them [along with NO pesticides for dewormer / fleas / heartworm and no or only one-time vaccinations!]. It’s YOUR RESPONSIBILITY as a pet parent!”Roger Biduk

“Many of the holistic veterinarians I’ve talked to have to fight their own organization (AVMA) and other veterinarians when it comes to what cats and dogs should be fed. All the holistic vets I talked to recommend a species-appropriate diet for a dog (carnivore) and obligate carnivore (cats) which is what nature intended. Compare this to the AVMA and veterinarians recommending kibble that have little or NO MEAT and harmful fillers like corn, meat/chicken by-products, grains, soy, wheat, etc. in brands like Hill’s Prescription Diet, Purina, Pedigree, Iams, Eukanuba, Royal Canin, Science Diet, etc… Always talk to a good holistic veterinarian, most of whom do inexpensive phone consultations,” writes Roger Biduk.
