I'm not trying to sound rude but it's probably going to come off that way (I don't mean it to, I swear). But if you can't see the nutritional differences by reading the ingredient list on a bag of Purina or Pedigree versus a bag of EVO, Nature's Variety or Natural Balance (or whatever) well - then I just don't know
There really IS a difference. It's right there in the list of ingredients on the back of the bags of food printed as clear as day.
It sounds to me that the issue here, with you, is not so much that you don't want to feed your babies something that is good for them, because I for one believe that you DO - but maybe it's the PRICE. It sounds like perhaps you can quite afford the higher quality brands out there because, yes, SOME of them do have a higher price tag. That being said, maybe you are trying to convince yourself, and us, that the cheaper foods are "just as good" and are "ok" to feed because of this very reason. The thing is, most people here know that there IS a difference in the quality of different brands of dog foods, so they (we) are firm in this knowledge and feel very strongly about it.
No matter what we disagree on though, you do have alot of dogs (I myself have 4, plus our cat) and I do have to say that at least you are FEEDING your babies. So many dogs out there are neglected and don't get ANY food AT ALL.
However, to actually "recommend" the lower quality foods I just simply don't agree with. BUT - we all have our opinions
