Has anybody noticed with on the Dog Section of Answers, there is an advertisement for Purina, saying it meets or exceeds standards of AAFCO?

If I could make a list of bad dog foods, it would be one of the top ones. I really think there should be a change in commercial dog food. Its so low quality…

I’m getting e-mails from an advertising firm that shows it is coming from MY e-mail address. How can I block? »

They no doubt pay well to advertise here. It’s highly unlikely they will say “you may as well feed table scraps as feed this.” They want you to buy it.

I never check out the adds anyway.

Sam’s Club has actually put out something new that is even worse; Member’s Mark Complete Nutrition; my hubby brought a sample home and I told him if he fed it to my dogs I would hurt him. BADLY.
Ingredients:
Ground yellow corn, meat and bone meal, soybean meal, chicken by-product meal, (that means beaks feet and feathers, folks) wheat middlings, animal fat, BHA,natural flavor, brewer’s rice, salt…and it gets worse!
The bag states: If your dog likes Dog Chow, TRY THIS.
Guess it would kill them faster (?)
People need to learn to read the ingredient panel, but I know I am preaching to the choir here with all you good clever folks.
Honestly Dog Chow is probably better than this crap…
Beneful is WAY down there too IMO…

yup I agree about Purina being low quality.. a while ago here I saw an add for Eukanuba.. another low qualtiy food (although perhaps not as bad as Purina)

sadly its becuase AAFCO has LOW standards…

one food I reccomend (in Canada) is NUTRAM there food is of such high standards they export to such places as Japan - where the pet food standards are MUCH higher…

rule of thumb - if you see lots of advertisements for a food you can be sure its low quality - they are PAYING for ads.. not for quality ingredients.
