I was saying that I had heard things about Science Diet being of a lesser quality, and looking at the ingredients of the most basic form, I have to agree. What you suggested was a little bit better. It wasn't a personal attack on you and your dog food choice -- I was just contributing my opinion on this topic, which is what I thought this lady wanted. I used to work at a dog and cat boutique and the boss lady had a firey passion against Science Diet, and she does a lot of researching into what products to carry, so I figured it'd be best to assume it was kind of lack luster. Sorry to offend. I haven't fed it before, so I have no firsthand experience. |
So...essentially she was doing what some here in this thread accuse vets of doing...making money off of holistic foods while trashing Science Diet. This is part of the marketing ploys that the holistic companies have put out there...their ingredients are superior yet there is no concern about quality control, hence all of the insane amounts of recalls.
Actually, your one post did call foods crap and I believe you meant Science Diet....the bottom line I feed my dogs the foods that you believe are less than but I don't get up every day fearing a recall. While I realize it can happen to any company, I believe the companies I choose to use have better quality controls in place than most.
