I'm usually a calm and relaxed guy... it takes a lot to 'shake my tree' but the facts my vet shared with me that day made me tremble with anger and resentment.
He said..
"Andrew, I'm very sorry to tell you but Noble is dying.
"The preservatives found in the commercial dog food you feed him have destroyed his kidneys.
"He will be dead in 3 weeks, maybe 4 and it's too late to prevent it.
"You see, the major dog food companies fill their precessed food with preservatives to increase it's shelf life and maximize their profits.
"They know these preservatives kill millions of pets every single year but without them, their profits would not be as large... and that is the bottom line..
"Andrew, Noble is dying for the sake of fattening company profits!".
[I later discovered through my own research, preservatives are not the only reason dog food kills dogs, more on that soon... you'll be outraged!]

The Death of Your Dog Looks Like This
Slowly, I began to notice something unusual about Noble. He didn't have the same bounce to his step that he was famous for. At times he even seemed reluctant to go for our regular exercise, which was always the highlight of his day.
I dismissed it as him feeling a bit off or maybe a touch of laziness... but it didn't pass, in fact it got worse and then worse still.
I eventually took him to the local vet and was told his kidneys were failing and soon, he would be dead.
DEAD!
As in gone..... forever!.
"But, but... he's so young, so strong, so happy... I don't understand, how could this be?"
Devastated, with tears welled in my eyes, I chocked back the urge to sob and listened for my vet's reply...
