I guess FUBO needs to appoint a Senior Dog Food Czar to his bloated cabinet. Why not? The government intrudes into everything else.
After looking at the ingedients on my kitteh’s Rx catfood, I made a note to ask my vet next time why on earth kitteh needs CORN in his diet. And this isn’t Meow Mix - it’s supposed to be healthy stuff for kitties prone to urinary tract infections.
I always thought it odd that, barring a medical need (kidney problems for instance) an older dog automatically needed a different food. After all, we don’t suddenly feed Grandma something different because she hit a certain age. It’s mostly marketing. The more different foods a manufacturer can have in a store the more shelf space they take and the more chances a consumer will choose one of them. Not that I think all dog foods are alike, I don’t.
It NEVER ceases to amaze me what “City/Town People” will buy/fall for.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, dogs were fed scraps of food; poor families fed them breads and grains, and more affluent families gave them meat and other scraps. My mother mixed a little hard dog food with scraps for our dogs, who both lived to old ages, and never made visits to the vet. I always thought that was the norm, until Purina made Americans feel guilty, and advertised the health benefits of processed dog foods.
not as tasty as the dog food made for younger Americans.
I know that I'm eating less dog food and searching the garbage bins more.
I ate my dog years ago, and the neighbors have been out calling for their great dane {they are a little tough but not bad in a stew}.
I'm still hoping for change {anybody got a spare quarter?}.
It is this kind of thing that has caused me as I age to eat more and more cat food.
So what’s worse, the ‘buy our sr. dog food’ marketing extravaganza or the ‘consult with your vet’ extravaganza?
