My first question would be who in Blazes is Susan Peters? When you click on 'about Susan Peters' all it tells you is that she is from Oklahoma, is in the 'hall of fame' (whatever that is) and that you can join her fan club
. There are absolutely no credentials or anything else about her and she only comes up on the Hub Pages when you google her. As for her 'reviews', she is out of step with most nutritionists and her criticisms are sarcastic, unfounded and, in some cases, just wrong. Case in point: She makes it seem that montmorillionite clay is solely an oil industry product and implies that it's dangerous. The fact is that montmorillionite clay is considered one of the 'edible clays' that is useful in removing mycotoxins from the body and is also used by humans. Very few dry dog foods have it and it should be considered a plus. I don't personally use Nature's Variety (I use Nature's Logic) but it certainly wouldn't be considered a 'bad' food. IMO, all her reviews that I read are bogus to some degree. I also checked her review of the food I use and had to laugh. I may be missing something here but, to me, she is a prime example of how a little knowledge can be dangerous, especially if you blast it all over the internet. I would trust The Dog Food Project for good background info on canine nutrition and dogfoodanalysis.com for more reliable product reviews.
