Brit, you're passionate about dog food and you should talk about it.

I think there should be an automatic red flag when a fish based, high protien kibble is only $3 a pound. Good fish runs several dollars a pound and it is much more concentrated in dog food. A food that is mostly fish protein really should be much more expensive.

Anyway, there is no problem with using these parts of fish in dog food whatsoever. But that's just it. Lots of companies use by-products and people hate them for it. What Champion is doing doesn't look much different. So maybe by-products aren't always bad and maybe we have been too hard on some other companies for using them.

Ellie doesn't eat SD. And for my other pup, we will go through the brands one by one putting safety procedures and track record of the food first. Then we will make our way to smaller companies if need be. He may or may not stay on SD depending on what HE does well on.
