He believes that Maxhealth Pet Diet can play an important role in enhancing the well being of many more beloved pets. On the use of Maxhealth: In practice with Maxhealth. Most of the imported and locally manufactured dog foods have common animal protein and fat source, which is derivived from the intensive farming industry. This source has been the same over time and the meat industry still makes use of a variety of chemical/pharmacological substances, which may or may not be found as residues or metabolites in meat, meat by-products or fat. Early observations have linked food-related disorders to residues in intensive farming meat but no peer-reviewed studies have ever identified any of these substances as directly or indirectly causing one or more of the listed problems, neither have mechanisms been described or proved. When dogs were fed intensive farming meat free diet, most of the problems on the list disappeared. On the other hand most of the dogs were not allergic to a particular animal protein as the elimination diet was still made of the original protein/s. In practice only 3-5% of cases in the affected population have been demonstrated to be truly allergic to a particular animal protein.
