9 Lives is still safe. For now....
Indeed. It’s unbelievable what many companies put in pet “food.”
The current pet food situation is frightening. I had to find pet food I could trust for my cat. I found out the big name “premium” foods like Iams and Eukanuba were no longer trustworthy, when the big corporations like Proctor and Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive bought out these premium brands and changed the formulas. I would NOT TRUST any of the big commercial pet foods anymore, including Purina. Once you learn about what SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be in your pets food, you wouldn’t feed them that stuff with corn and other ingredients they can’t even digest. I found a food I really trust, formulated by a holsitic veterinarian (who ironically worked for Iams and Eukanuba to formulate the ORIGINAL formula.) If you want to watch a very interesting video about pet food and learn what to look for in a pet food, take a look at my website, familypetfood.com. In any case, feed your pet holistic food you have read ingredients throughly on (and know what you are looking for!) or make it yourself if you can be sure you are adding all the nutrients your pet needs, but stay AWAY from supermarket pet food!
I’m sticking with Pedigree...they’ve been clean so far.
all i can say is my two babies (Jake & Maggie) love grits, bacon and cheese....
We used to use Pedigree. We used Pedigree for years (the dry kibble.) One thing I did notice when we switched over to Natural Balance was that one of our dogs, who is a huge “shedder,” seemed to stop shedding. No more vacuuming a couple times a day. I’m assuming there was some nutrient in the Natural Balance that kept him from shedding as much.
