There are facts and plenty more testimonials/first-hand accounts from pet owners and veterinarians alike. Am I going to go copy/paste everything little detail and transcribe from a book to prove a point to someone defending crap-in-a-bag like Ol' Roy or Pedigree? Noooo. If you really wanted to know those things you'd find them out on your own.
Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats is a good starting point that can be read in separate sections or all at once. |
So that is what this is about? Animal testing?
I should base my desion on a pet owners testimonial? My Science Diet has a stamp on the side that says it's the brand 'most chosen by vets to fee their own dog.' Does that mean anything to me? Nooooooooo. I didn’t say to post every detail from a book—you said to read one, I asked for the title. Give me the source of these 'facts' you claim so I can look into them myself instead of just having to take your word for it, THAT was all I asked for. Now you have done that--thanks! Maybe you ARE on to something and if so, I'd like that information too.
For the record, I don't buy Ol Roy, but I do feed our hound Pedigree Select Gold, which I realize isn't much better. Am I happy about it? Heck no! But along with my vet and my own research, we felt that in addition to various supplements and excercise were the best option for her. And sorry, but I don't feel the need to 'defend' that to anyone.
My point was,
in general, you see the same regurgitated reasons regarding dog food quality thrown around with little understanding about what it even means--so what good does that do, really? If you've taken the time to research and know otherwise, then clearly that statement didn't refer to you.
(it didn't refer to anyone here, particularly, more of a blanket statement)
