What gets me about this is all them suckers who spent big bucks buying high priced pet food like the Iams stuff, only to find out is was the same stuff as the cheap crap.
My loving mutt recently passed at 16. (Max, I miss ya, ya stinkin fool!)
While he was around, he got the best $5.99 40lb bags of stuff I could find.
My father-in-law fed our dog Ol’ Roy from Walmart. When he brought her back from hunting three months later her hair was falling out. We put her back on Eukanuba and she was back to normal in one week.
LOL that sounds like me. I try and get decent food for them but get an economical brand. Not of what I feed my cats and dog have been on the lists.
Iams was just recently purchased by a large corporation, so the decision to use Chinese gluten came after that change. It’s not the same food as before. My husband works in the natural pet food industry and there are plenty of choices out there for consumers if they would only venture out of the megamarket. Consumers also need to think of buying food for their pets like they do for themselves. Quality ingredients will result in superior health and looks for your animal. Just go into any privately owned pet food shop and see what’s available. Oh, yes, and before you hesitate at the price, look at how much you feed your pet with a quality brand as compared to the megabrand. Two cups dry/day for our lab keeps her within her weight and gives her a wonderful coat. She’s seven years old and acts much younger.
The only reason I bought Science Diet was the kennel swore by it. They said that cats need something to prevent urinary tract infections.
