It can mean whatever the manufacturer wants it to mean. The only meat humans should eat is meat that is "fit for human consumption". No dog food that I know of has this phrase on it. I would still feed "premium" foods because they don't contain things like ethoxyquin but they still have their problems.  |
My last conversation with our vet about what to feed ended when she told me that a lot of her patients refuse to change food simply bc they are happy with what they are feeding. she said I can't make people switch their dogs food. She also added that it has nothing to do with what we feed. It's all about proper medication for their condition. WHAT?!?! that's crazy. Not with the research that i've done- that is not true. So with that- i knew i would never be comfortable with any advice she gave us on what to feed if it wasn't hills. that actually when in knew we were gettign no where with her. I decided to start researching- I ended up clicking on something that took me directly to YT. When i first discovered YT i was like- OMG.... why have i never heard of this?? i have had my girls for 10 years and this was the first time i ever saw YT. all i say is it doesn't matter how i discovered YT... I am just sooooooo thankful that we did :-) where else could you find better advice from someone who owns a yorkie? NO WHERE but YT. :-)
