I don't see how this somehow discredits the food for being not forthcoming and somehow Purina is better, simply because they're more well known in the US?
I mean even the Purina Beyond website spouts the "NO WHEAT, NO SOY, NO CORN!!!" "NO BY PRODUCT!!" when they clearly have other products containing those things. Are they saying they're BAD then? or to avoid them? Or are they just trying to sell a particular product to a particular crowd of people? Would these be considered Buzzwords and marketing terms? They knew that there is a market out there now for people wanting "healthier" options for their pets, so they made it. It appeals to folks like me, who maybe wouldn't have otherwise considered a purina product.
I do like the little video: https://www.beyondpetfood.com/why-be...nutritionists/
But Orijen/Acana has similar videos. Who knows what to believe! It's obviously all a part of a marketing plan. |
I don't disagree wih you on marketing. Capitalism is alive and well. But, I see Purina as a company that is doing more than that though and doing research. But hey, I can't sort it all out, never could, and feel better feeding them my own home cooked meals.
