I suppose I took offense at the Pedigree comment seeing as my close friend feeds it and it was upsetting to read such a strong, vehement comment. But, like I said, if you're so against feeding this kibble, donate it to a shelter and buy the kibble you want to feed. Ideally, you can make a lose-lose situation into a win-win situation.
Man I really wish I had the time to explain the whole story to you, then you'd more then likely have a different opinion (the Chad thing)... Its so hard to explain day to day things in one forum. But Chad isnot a good person anymore.

About our Brand issue... I didn't mean to offend, but those low end brands make me very angry. Some one once compaired it to feeding your kid a random animal parts hotdog with lots of sugar. I'm just very against fillers & trash being fed to animals, just like I'm very against adding steroids to milk cows(illegal in Canada) & feeding cows animal by-products(the cause of Mad-Cow).

Another reason I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO very against low end dog foods, is because it nearly killed my old dog. no matter how much he ate, he lost weight, he was turning on people, stealing & puking out of all 3 holes. It was traced to the low end dog foods. Saddly the damage was already done & it damaged his digestive track. My dad took him in, as my mother didn't care at all about the dog. Within a month of being on a good quality dog food, he had put on weight & was no longer puking out of all 3 holes. Every 6 months to a year, he would have a break out & had to be medicated, to make him well again... After being on the higher quality dog food (Nutro-was the highest in our area), when he turned 9.5yrs old, the Emrg. vets thought he was 3yrs old, as his teeth were white, he was very muscular & had an awesome, awesome coat.

Back to the origional thread... I will post an update right after this one, so people can skip over this one if they are not interested in reading.
