Now, I do not feed mine Cesars, but if I was short on money, and I had seniors that were eating soft food, I think I would feel comfortable feeding this brand.....her dogs have certainly done fabulously on it, even years ago when she was breeding her Chihuahuas, she fed them Cesars.....I have never seen a recall on Cesars, I have seen recalls on the BB....judging from the completely different response in your dogs and other dogs to Cesars, I am thinking perhaps there is something your particular dogs do not tolerate in the dog food, that does not adversely affect others, rather than strictly an issue with the dog food. |
Your cousins dogs may not have sensitive stomachs enough to have an issue with the food, but you can look up anywhere online and find that Cesar food is extremely low quality. BB is 5 star and Cesar is 1 star pretty much on any unbiased dog food ratings chart. Also, Cesar has had plenty of recalls.. you may not be looking them up but they're there. After realizing the cause of her being sick, I've also noticed comments and forums all over the internet complaining of the same problems with diarrhea & vomiting with their dogs. Lately, there has been a lot of issue of them having mold in them. Also, with the meat "by-products" in the ingredients, there are some interesting chunks of stuff in the food that many people have complained about.
Like I said, we were only using it for the wetness so I wasn't concerned about making sure that our dog got actual nutrition from it, since the nutrition aspect was filled from the BB food, but to see how sick it has made her is frightening. For 79 cents each for those little tiny packs, they really should not be so low of quality as they are. By low quality, I'm referring to not only my own opinion, but all the research that is out there proving it is a one star food. Your cousin's dogs may not be getting sick from it, but I can guarantee there is very little actual nutrition they are getting from Cesar. They may "love it," but kids like McDonalds too..
