  1. NEVER buy a food that has Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (source of Vitamin K activity) these are the side effects of this synthetic vitamin, causes cytotoxicity in liver cells,

    causes formation of radicals from enzymes of leucocytes, with the consequence of cytotoxic reactions

    ,considerably weakens the immune system, possible mutagenic effects,

    damages the natural vitamin K cycle,

    has no effect on coumarin derivatives, which are often present in commercial food due to mold contamination (toxic when ingested),

    causes hemolytic anemia and hyperbilirubinemia, not just linked to large doses,

    disturbs the level of calcium ions (Ca2+) in the body, which is an important factor fibrinolysis,

    is directly toxic in high doses (vomiting, albuminuria), unlike natural vitamin K,

    builds up in tissue and has been detected in eggs, meat and milk of animals supplemented with menadione derivatives,

    causes irritation of skin and mucous membranes,

    causes allergic reactions and eczema

  2. Their are good ingredient foods out there that will leave your pugs allergy free without the negative accumulative health effects.

  3. Purina One Sensitive Stomach is not a MCPR approved food and here is why. If you read our artilce Pugs against bad food you will see that Purina One contains animal fat which are non descript animals and contains rendered fats. Rendered by products such as fat and meat meal are a combination of different animals including euthanized cats and dogs. P One also contains aninal digest which is again rendered, it has corn gluten meal, added salt and brewers rice. Corn Gluetn is their for the purpose of binding the food and turns to sugar in the body which can lead to diabetes, hyper activity, dry coat and itchy skin. Brewers Rice is a cheap filler.

  4. We found that Purina One sensitive systems keeps our girls in tip top shape. No allergy problems anymore at all!
