I used to believe this, too, until I had a very sick dog who needed this crap in a bag. I don't feed their commercial food but I do feed an RX kibble of theirs in conjunction with Weruva low fat tuna canned. I've become a heck of a lot less judgmental on those NEED this crap in a bag for their dog to, ya know, SURVIVE and live....
I *personally* do believe fresh homecooked food to be the "best" however every dog is different in what they thrive on. And not everyone has the capability to cook a properly balanced meal or afford to do so. Or maybe the dog doesn't thrive on it.
They charge money for it because they have years and years of science and research behind them. Clinical trials. They aren't just buying fancy ingredient lists and then packaging the food as superior even though there are ZERO veterinarians on staff and nothing more than palatability trials with no idea how the food is going to affect dogs long term.
You may think it's crap in a bag but to the dog who can only eat their food to not be sick, it's certainly not.
