Purina Dog contest

[Cincy'sMom]

At our therapy dog meeting tonight, I found out my friend has her dog registered in an online contest with Purina. There are tons of cute dogs involved, so browse through and vote for your favorite (I'm voting for Roxxey)

I wish I could have entered Simba or Nala! They really like Beneful and I JUST opened a new bag of it today. We got two big bags of it for real cheap because my mom's boss's sister works for Purina! A Years supply would be awesome! :)

I'll vote, but I don't support purina products. Their foods are so unhealthy.

Wow, what a bunch of great looking dogs.:) I loved the
small stories about each one. It sure would be hard to pick
just one. Although I've never personally tasted Purina products,
:p Smokey loves the mini bites dog chow & the kitties love the
hairball formula dry food. They all have beautiful shiny coats
and boundless energy. :D :D

Haven't you read the ingredients?? I see the main ingredient is corn, as is the 3rd main ingredient. See how they split it up, trying to be smart?? It's still corn...By-products are the second main ingredient. And sugar is pretty close up there too. Soy flour, which is difficult for most dogs to digest, animal digest which is also by-products, artificial colours, etc.
