Pedigree commercial on Animal Planet :(

[AdoreMyDogs]

This commercial makes me cry every time they play it. Sofar I've only seen it on the Animal Planet, not sure if it airs on other channels, but it's a very moving commercial. It's the one about shelter dogs and it starts off saying "I know how to sit, how to fetch, and how to roll over. What I don't know is how I ended up in here"

Anyone else see this commercial? It's really sad. Makes me want to adopt another dog, but that won't happen for a long time. 2 dogs is perfect.

Yes, I've seen it and it makes me cry everytime!
I hope it touches the hearts of every person that sees it, not just animal lovers!

Leslie I have seen it several times on many different channels. For those who haven't seen it, here it is:

I would love to see more dog food makers offering to provide money to shelter dogs. I hope others will follow along. For those who maybe don't think they'd personally like to feed their dogs Pedigree, I would just like to say that I would rather see a dog be adopted and fed Pedigree than the alternative. When I was a child growing up, my parents weren't at all into researching good dog foods but all of my childhood dogs were healthy and loved and that is really all that matters.

I couldn't agree more. Wow, you'd think after seeing that commercial as many times as I've seen it, it wouldn't make me cry every time...but it STILL does. It's a great commercial. It really is moving and I am sure it has helped adopt shelter dogs. It's even made me ponder getting a 3rd dog, but because of the baby, I won't do it.

You know, I have seen that commercial...but seeing it again...the tears began flowing!!!
I'd love to get another dog, but the boyfriend is the one that works from home and would have to care for it the most. And he's not willing to do that at this time.
Maybe someday!!

The commercial is touching- but I would rather donate- and wouldnt buy the food. At the current time, there is no way to do that, and it appears to me this is like a guilt trip- if you want to help homeless dogs- buy this food to help ... Its like coherision...

It is a very sad commerical it is good that Pedigree is doing this it helps get the word out

[tikeyas_mom]

I hav'nt seen that comercial before this, and wow.. I cried.. Thats touching, even though I would NEVER feed pedigree to my dogs..

[bckrazy]

I definitely DO feel it's a touching commercial... me and my friends were talking about it a few days ago. And more companies should absolutely do the same.

However, the bottom-line here IS a money-making ploy, whether their intentions seem good or not. "Buy this food... and we'll donate some of it to shelters." Honestly, you know if they were just doing this to help shelter dogs, they would donate anyway... they would just put out a commercial urging people to adopt, instead of plastering their company name all over it.

And, in the end, I cannot even force myself to give Pedigree props - because any dog food that lies like they do, sells the bare minimum (basically) of nutrition in their kibble, & makes as much money for as little quality as their product has, but still claims they are "for dogs"... just can't pass as reputable, IMO.
