i think it's fine you want to feed your dog whatever... (actually i don't think it's fine. i think it bad) it is unfortunate that you want to feed your dog lower quality dog food. i find it hard to believe that you say they are thriving on junk food, but maybe your dog is allergic to something in the premium food you tried? Yes, kids will love mcdonalds food and be happy with it if you feed that to them all the time. but that would still make you an awful parent if you did.
my problem with recommending crappy dog food is that people that don't know any better but are trying to do their best will read it and think that it's good to feed their babies commercial grade dog food.
yes, it is totally a freedom of choice what you feed your baby. but when i first had a rescue cat, i fed him crappy commercial food, because it was recommended to me by a pet shop owner. i also fed milu bad doggie food because it was recommended to me by her breeder. i am angry that they misled me into thinking those were quality foods for my babies. i think that if people haven't done research and they don't actually know what's good for the animals, they shouldn't recommend it to others!
people used to think that you spank the dog and rub it's nose in it's 'accident' to teach them not to have accidents. people used to think that you teach your doggie by punishing them for doing bad things. but most of us know better now, and are working with our babies through positive reinforcements.
the trend you are talking about is called learning, discovering, and growing. people now know a lot more about doggies then they used to. |
Well for starters, I feed my dog Solid Gold thank you very much so don't go accusing me of feeding a lower grade dog food. I'm simply standing up for what others believe in. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and what I'm upset about is how rude people get towards others just because of the type of food they feed their dog. Whether there's junk in the food or not, dogs can still live a long healthy life on ANY dog food. Some will be like that and some probably won't. It's life. Even if people don't know much about dog food, that doesn't mean they shouldn't recommend it to people. They can simply just give their opinion to them for their own expierence. There's nothing wrong with that.
