I have decided for myself, I am looking at dog food labels and have no clue about chicken liver flavor, chicken broth etc. Can she have foods containing those things if she has a chicken allergy? How about turkey? Are eggs bad for her? So I have decided to put my trust in my vet and the nutritionists at Hills to recommend a good food for my girl. They know so much more than I do. I hope I am doing the right thing.
By the way, thanks Ellie May, you have provided a lot of good and helpful information over the years and I just want you to know how much I appreciate it. |
I totally agree with you and am in the same boat. I have no desire to tear into the listings of dog foods and try to understand it all. Way to mind boggling for me. I trust my vet and the vet nutritionists I have consulted with....and I trust Hill's Science Diet foods. I also trust Royal Canin. I also have used Purina RX foods. All of those foods have worked for my pups. I say if it is not broke, don't fix it.
I am glad that the Hill's thing was clarified. I would be stunned to find out that they had a food in their products that was not disclosed. I think all to often people enjoy jumping on a bandwagon to bash these companies and it really does bother me.
