Before becoming obsessed with pets, I never paid any attention to pet food. When I bought food for my cats, I tried to buy holistic food like Blue Buffalo but only because the bag was pretty and it looked healthy. I knew nothing.
Do you know whats in your pets food? If you want to, check out dogfoodanalysis.com - they have a 6 star rating system for dog food based on ingredients, preservatives, overall nutrition, etc. For example, Purina is a 2 and Orijen is a 6.
Now, I use a 5 star food that has no grains, no cancer-linked preservatives, and no shady recalls. Yes, better quality food is expensive. The one I buy is $42 for a 30 pound bag. BUT, I have to use 1/2 of the amount so the bag lasts much longer and is therefore, actually about the same price in the long run as the cheapo food.
If you want to learn more, e-mail me at info@teddysfriendspetcare.com. Or check out this insanely detailed report by a Harvard Law student. It's very accurate and well written.
