So when I worked for the pet stores, even I got sold on the premium pet food brands (I use wholehearted from Petco right now), at Pet supermarket it felt like we had to shove Performatrin down our customer's throats, at Petco it didn't matter and we could suggest whatever we felt comfortable; but I have a question that a customer once asked me "What does it matter?"
Even my aunt said "it's funny how there are so many of these fad-type diet foods for animals that were never around back in the day, and our pets did fine then". I claim not to like Purina or Friskies, foods where I don't know what the ingredients mean. I understand the difference between Salmon meal and salmon by product....sort of....but does it really all matter? What do you feed your pets? Purina? Merrick? Wholehearted, Sciencediet, etc? Why do you feed them what you do? Is premium really better than economy brand, or is it all just moneymaking marketing schemes to make the customer pay more?
