I think there are "lots of pets on it" simply because that brand (along with a couple of others) have been what is predominately on store shelves. People have a tendency to buy what is convenient, not necessarily what is best. You only have to look at the fast food industry to prove that fact. |
what kind of quality of life does a 20 yr old yorkie have? not that i wouldnt want mind to live forever..but i think there is more then the specific brand of food that is extending their life..genetics, vet care, etc..
as i stated earlier my spitz was 18..so thats a long time as well
eukanuba is shelved only at pet stores along side 10-20 other brands..so there are lots of brands that are convenient when you are already at the pet store..some of those brands are also "better brands" that are mentioned here..
