“If it comes from Communist China...it’s crap”
I agree. Problem is, almost everything does now a days. It’s very difficult to get away from chinese mfg products and a lot of what they produce is low quality CRAP.
Also, we lost one of our cats a few years ago due to IAMS pet food using a “filler” ingredient that was supplied by of course a chinese company. We haven’t purchased IAMS since but these pet food companies are all mixed together, it’s hard to tell who is who. The name on the pet food can means nothing, you need to know who the parent company is. Ive heard a lot of people make there own pet food, sounds like a pain but it gives the pet owner some peace of mind anyway.
The problem with that practice is that even though you know where the ingredients come from, you can't assume the recipe adheres to pet food nutritional quality standards. Pet food companies must test their foods for nutritional adequacy; there is no comparable assurance regarding home-made foods.
My dogs don’t like dog food. I cook for them but give them treats sometimes. The ones I give them say “distributed by Del Monte Products”. How do we know where they are actually made?
