Pet Fooled – Truth about Pet Food

I watched the trailer, and I *might* watch the full movie on Netflix, but I found the trailer to be alarmist and misleading. I don't think that ANYONE wants melamine in their dog food, but to say that corn and wheat in pet food leads to allergies, obesity, etc., is false. Maybe a small number of dogs are affected by corn and wheat, but most do just fine. Also, they implied that pet food companies don't know anything about canine nutrition and they showed an image of a bag of Hills Science Diet when they said that. That is patently false. Hills manufactures a lot of prescription diets that are life savers when it comes to certain medical conditions, and you can bet that they have canine nutritionists on staff.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It's good to know what kinds of things are out there, for better or worse.
