This lawsuit is about truth in advertising. Sadly, the best dog food companies do not have multi million dollar advertising budgets. They have to put all of their resources into producing their food. If you really want to know what you are feeding your dog then you should select from the small list of companies that have taken "The Pledge" provided by The Association for Truth in Pet Food. ( Evermore Pet Food - a company co-owned by my daughter is among them.). These companies are completely transparent about the quality and the origin of their ingredients and the pledge is signed by the company CEO. This information is available for free at
Association for Truth in Pet Food – The Pledge
I might add that neither Purina or Blue Buffalo have taken this Pledge.
When it comes to food, no kibble can compete with fresh food, but you do get what you pay for and fresh food of the highest quality is expensive. If cost is an object then you might want to consider using a high quality product as a mixer. I might add that the two women who own Evermore Pet Food ate their dog food for lunch every day of March 2011. For the rest of the day they consumed only ingredients that were used in the food. This was to demonstrate the integrity of their ingredients.
