What she said! After researching it seems that Pedigree uses a lot of by-products and corn fillers. I want to stay away from that as much as possible. My mini schnauzer was on a certain vet recommended food for the first 6 years of his life and we almost lost him to bladder stones brought on, or made worse, by the ingredients in his food. Bailey is now on a RX food that addresses his bladder stones and skin issues (the only thing that works for him at this point) but when we got him I had no idea that there were so many options. I just blindly went with the recommendation I was given and assumed it was best for Bailey. I want to be more informed about Lola's nutritional needs and start her out in a healthier manner to hopefully head off any issues that are food/nutrition related. I think that vets know what is best medically speaking for our pets but just like your pediatrician or general practitioner would refer you to a nutritionist for specific needs I think we as pet owners need to look elsewhere for food concerns/ingredient needs. If that makes any sense, lol. I don't just feed my human children anything that comes in a bag or box and I'm not going to feed my furbabies something that may amount to pink slime and corn meal in a bag!
