■ 반려동물 먹거리에 대한 유용한 사이트
반려동물의 사료나 간식 등에 대한 분석자료를 발간하고, 제조사의 기사나 리콜자료들을 제공하는
http://www.truthaboutpetfood.com
아래 자료들은 2010년 이후 업뎃이 안 된것이 많은데 여긴 현재까지 활발하고, 주인장이 분석자료를 판매하기때문에 정보가 다양한다. 리콜자료를 일일이 찾기 힘들다면 가끔 요 사이트를 참고하면 된다.
내가 에보를 갈아탈지 말지 고민한 것도 P&G인수에 대한 요 사이트 견해와 반응을 보고 하게되었다.
■ 강아지 사료등급
보통 사료등급 확인 겸 보는 사이트는 http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com
사료 등급과 관련해서는 별점으로 1에서 6까지 있는데 6은 주로 단백질 함량이 높은 생식사료
각 사료가 별점을 왜 받았는지에 대한 내용과 사료의 성분이 자세히 나와있어서
사용 중인 사료로 검색 가능하고, 최근에 생산된 제품은 없으니 참고^^
보통 유기농,홀리스틱, 슈퍼프리미엄, 프리미엄으로 구별하지만 사실상 포장에 적힌것으로는 다 판단 할 수 없으니
꼭 성분표와 실제 사용한 재료를 확인해야한다.
예로 나도 7년전에 홀리스틱이라고 써져있어서 샀다가 재료보고 버렸다;;
각 사료를 클릭하면 재료가 나오고 아래 왜 그 재료가 문제인지가 나온다.
강아지에 대한 사료및 관련 정보가 지속적으로 피드백 되고 있는 http://dogs.about.com 도 유용한 사이트
■ 강아지 사료 리콜리스트
리콜을 받아도 이후에 개선된 곳도 있다. 뭐 판단는 각자의 몫?
다음은 자료는 http://www.thepetfoodlist.com/ 이 자료는 현재는 업데이트 되지 않으며, 기록을 위해 온라인 자료를 보존한다고 홈페이지에도 게시되어 있다. 또한 매년 FDA의 리콜리스트는 FDA에서 확인 가능 하다.

사료 회사가 다르다고해서 공장도 다르지는 않다. 제조공장을 보유한 회사가 있고, 큰 제조공장에 위탁생산하는 사료도 무지하게 많다. 아래는 제조공장 리스트일뿐이니 리콜이나 문제된 사료를 제조한 공장에서 반려동물에게 급여하는 사료를 생산할때 제조사 홈페이지 등을 통해 꼭 재료나 문제는 없는지 확인하면 좋을 것 같다.
이후 천천히 아래 공장에서 문제되는 사료를 따로 표기해야겟다. 오늘은 이만...
