To each his own.

I don't contact Hill's, RC and Purina and ask them where they get each and every ingredient in their foods. I trust that they do exactly as Ashley has described. Telling me where they buy things for my dogs' foods is not going to tell me how reliable they are. They are the companies I use and will continue to use because I trust their quality control. I don't honestly care if they purchase from China as long as I know they are testing as they say they are. I have seen plenty of disasters in the dog food industry that had nothing to do with China...some maybe did...but again, not ALL companies were affected. That is why I trust who I trust. I think she is trying to draw a picture that no one wants to accept. It is NOT about WHERE things come from as much as HOW reliable the quality control is. *shrug*

Personally, I see all this as a waste of her time. It has also become a waste of my time as well. I really looked forward to her talks about nutrition, but no one really wants that and they will continue to turn this thread into whatever it is and I don't have time to wade through it all. No, she is not going to give the answers that some of you want....honestly, if she said all came from the US, you who are on this case so heavily would not feed RC anyway. So...really? I am sorry, but this is such a waste that I am not even going to bother reading it anymore. Sadly, it is, as I said, typical internet *stuff*.

Now, back to your regular scheduled programming. Grain of salt I say! I will not be back. LOL
