I think the biggest problem here is we have been duped. In 1950 the dog food industry was a 200 million dollar business. The biggest competitor for dog food was table scrapes. Today, it has surpassed 1 billion dollars annually and table scrapes are considered an inferior food. The companies that are getting in "bed" with these dog food companies would surprise you like the U.S. Tobacco company, and Ligget & Meyers. As consumers we need to push for tough regulations and the removal of inferior products in dog and cat foods. (ex. CORN) yeah it is cheap but it doesn't meet any dietary needs. Cats are carnivore: they like meat and vegetables. Dogs are omnivores: they like meat, vegetables and grains minus corn which they have trouble digesting. So, why are these useless products put into food? Because we have been convienced that the commerical pet food industry cares about our beloved animals. The TRUTH is they only care about the BOTTOM LINE $$$. How else can you explain companies having 20 different pet food "NAMES" and prices that range from cheap to pricey?? Same ingredients different lables. You don't get what you pay for here. You get scammed. So the choice is up to you. Feed your pet commerical pet food, animals have been eating it for years and live. Feed your pet homemade pet food, pets were feed it for decades and they survived. Feed your pet a mix of commerical and homemade pet food, if that gives you peace of mind but realize this industry has grown out of control and it is a self regulated industry. If we don't speak up, be prepared for more animals to die because this will happen again. It is only a matter of time.
