Total crap food

[tanksmom]

Why is it that the dogs like that total crap food? It has nothing healthy in it but they eat it happily? Is it like our kids turning down steak for McDonalds?

Is it like our kids turning down steak for McDonalds?

if i could not gain a pound by trading healthy foods for desserts i would!

Well, the lesser quality food is more palatable. Some companies spray fat on their food to make it taste good. Whatever way you look at it though, the premium food isn't a whole lot better than the other food as long as their are no nasty preservatives in either.

This is one thing Im glad my babies arent alone on. They got ahold of old roy soft and moist from the neighbor and ate it like there was no tomorrow. And these are dogs that HATE food. Now Im just worried what it will do to their stomach.

you will not believe this but I have a friend that has some of the top airdales (spelling) and he actually feeds ol roy ... It blows my mind but they look great. He had them on IAMS for yrs and went back to roy and they really do look better so go figure

It's called rancid resturant grease that's picked up and sparayed on the dog food to cover up the horrible stinch of what went into the making of the horrible stuff that souldn't be called "food".
ALL dry bags of dog kibble have LOTS of preservatives (among other nastys) otherwise it would rot on the shelves. Glad you and I are on the same wave length!

LOL, I was talking about ethoxyquin, BHA and BTA in particular. The other preservatives are hidden quite well. I have no idea what I would do if I had to feed a large dog though.

We can't forget too that the cheaper the food the more corn syrup is in it. What dog wouldn't want a sugar buzz?

Feeding this mess will just come back to kick them and thier dogs in the a$$ eventually. That's the reason there are so many cancers and other major health problems.

Pretty much...that's how it is. I fed Izzy Beneful recently because I was in a pinch...he gobbled it up but minutes later it came back... So it tasted good to him but his tummy said HELL NO!!!
