Purina Mainstay?

[Roxyluvsme13]

Have you ever heard of it..? It's what my mom bought for Roxy.. I didn't get a full chance to look over all the ingredients yet, but it doesn't look great.

No, I've never heard of it but it just doesn't sound like a real good food to me...

I thought you fed raw?

My mom can't afford it at the moment.
(and yes I told her Roxy would get sick, but she doesn't care)

Your mom sounds careless

[Tralee]

thats too bad

I looked on Purina's website and it wasn't listed under their brands of dog food. I didn't find an ingredients list anywhere.

No, she just doesn't care too much about Roxy's dog food.. :/ and I guess she doesn't believe me either. She doesn't believe me on much of anything about Dog food/Raw.

Yeah.. .
Ohh.. well.. It's a Purina food..

Eeek sounds gross. It might make her sick (but I know you told your mom that). Why won't your mom buy a different food for her? How big as the food and how long will it last?

It would only make her sick since she's been on Raw. The quality has nothing to do with it, since she's eaten worse than that before I was kibble knowledgable. Because my mom can't afford it. It's a 17.6 pound bag, and it will last from 2 weeks - 1 month.

Jordan's info was all I could find too. Other than that it's called "generic Dog Chow" and is favored by farmers because of how cheap it is. It has less protein than Dog Chow or Beneful. In fact I think it's the first time I've seen a food with less than 20% crude protein. Interesting how Purina doesn't include it on their site.

That makes me feel just lovely about feeding it. My mom made a comment today about: You can choose Roxy's food when you can buy it.

I want her on Raw, but it's just not an option at the moment.

Well hopefully you can go with her next time, and get something at least a bit better. All you can do is keep trying.

I was with her.. but she doesn't listen to me on anything. I told her the first ingredient was corn (which is BAD) She goes: I thought vegetables were good for dogs? I said not like that..
