You know, although, I feed my dogs a good food now, we had a golden retriever years ago that was on cheap food, usually kibbles and bits..Well, now, her coat was shiny, she was healthy as a horse, and we had her put to sleep at the ripe old age of 18, and that's only because she had cancer..In the time I had her, she never went to the vets for anything other than her rabi shots and the cancer, so, I really don't know on this food thing..the only thing I think with these more expensive foods, is that the dogs don't poop as much, or as often! |
Hey guys. I didnt mean to start something but the post here does show why I hesitated in telling her anything. BUT I did give her my advice and she did take SOME of it. AND her pup will be better off from the info. I gave her. Its a cute little blue heeler mix a very different dog from my Tank. I thank everyone for posting and I hope everyone can smile today:) |

So deviating more from the topic :D I do realize that one person not buying Iams isn't going to make any difference, but it has to start some where right? Plus it's not that outlandish to think there are foods equal or better than Iams for people to switch over to. In any case, I do hope they change their testing policies soon. Anyone wanting to get more involved should poke around the PETA website. :thumbup: |

But I agree with hoping people can take in all sorts of info here and use it to their advantage, not to mention their dog's advantage. People just have different reasons behind what they think is 'good food.' |

A statement made by Ingrid Newkirk, the President of PETA: "I don't use the word 'pet.' I think it's speciesist language. I prefer 'companion animal. For one thing we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had a companion animal in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breedin) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship - enjoyment at a distance." |
Well, I've long thought that some of the PETA movements are a bit "extreme" to put it nicely, but that is another story altogether. I support the ethical treatment of animals, but I think as with any cause, if you cannot work towards your goal in a rational manner, then the cause is not only lost, but your actions will have adverse effects on the overall results. |
LOL, well now I feel like I have to chime in again even though I promised myself I wouldn't.:p I agree with what y'all are saying about PETA. They have gone way too far and have really turned people off which is certainly not in the best interest of animals. I posted that PETA video because it really showed what I was trying to say. Villette posted it a while back and that is how I learned about Iams. PETA goes too far but the video is accurate. I am not involved with PETA in any way. Okay, I'm finished with my disclaimer.:D Tanksmom, we tend to get riled up every once in a while but we always kiss and make up. I'm sorry for being a part of taking your thread off topic and I'm so happy to hear that it ended well with your friend.:) |
