I had seen an aritcle a little earlier re: grocery store brand pet food...more specifically...canned cat food. I would like to take this time to remind everyone to buy your pet at a veterinary hospital. Contrary to the belief that Hospitla food is more expensive than your cheapy brands, it's not. Reason: Because of the "nutrients" that is put into the "crap" foods. you are actually feeding more to the animal...whereas with diets from a hospital, you actually feed less. The reason for this is because higher quality diets sold in hospitals and by your DVM, use high quality nutrients, such as real meat etc. Thus the hospital diets are richer in ie: protein meaning it takes less of the "real" stuff to keep your animal satisfied, rather than feeding them "junk food" and lots of it to keep them satisfied.
I encourage you to please buy high quality food! Believe me, it's MUCH healthier for your pets!
just a note: Should a food contain a meat "by product", be warned this term is usually used to describe the bad parts of the animal. Protein enriched, possibly, but good, sufficient protein to sustain life..not at all! When you think about it, the hair on your head is made of protein, but you cannot simply live on eating hair, the protein content is insufficient and an unreliable source. Think of your pets as family....would you want to eat the hooves, noses, hair, even rectums of an animal in your food? Then why would you feed your pet that?
