Low Quality Dog Food

[dragondawg]

I don't really see a problem in making another thread about dog food when someone is fairly new to the board. Often it does not help to bring up old argumentative threads that people won't open and look at anyway. Perhaps they want to start a new conversation with those who are currently active on the board. Dog food does concern dog health and I see nothing wrong with it. It doesn't need to get argumentative if people just agree to disagree. The information is still good information for those who want to see it and DON'T happen to agree that what you feed your dog doesn't matter. To many of us it does matter, if you don't feel it does, then there is no need for you to get angry about it, just keep feeding what you feed and are happy with. Nobody is making anybody change what they are currently feeding, but learning and other opinions can be important too for those who want to. If you don't want to discuss it, don't open the thread.

This forum does have a search capacility. Is there something missing from the old threads? New information? Or new misleading information?

You want to look at the latest link to a site strangely supporting itself by selling yet another best dog food? For example there is the claim in the link that started this thread:

Note how in this product the source is not defined as "slaughtered poultry". The rendered fowl can be obtained from any source, so there is no control over quality or contamination. Any kind of animal can be included: "4-D animals" (dead, diseased, disabled, or dying prior to slaughter), turkey, chicken, geese, buzzard, seagulls, misc. roadkill, birds euthanized at shelters and so on.

and yet AAFCO defines by-products as those left over from human food processing. Therefore if one wants to believe the link as the truth, then one must also believe those 4-Ds also pertain to human food on the market.

Or shall we progress onto the idea of perforating intestines with the bones in raw diets? Salmonella toxins in raw turkey and chicken? Frozen bunnies? You know religion of dog feeding? While we are at it maybe we can suggest whether it's more important to spend the money on some exotic dog diet, or having that money around so one can afford Vet care when it matters?- That wouldn't require any facts. By all means let's have another 6 page thread on the fallicies surrounding dog diets.

You know what, nevermind, your venom and anger and the way you talk down to anyone who doesn't beleive the way you do is going to prevent you from listening to a word anyone says that you perceive as being wrong. There is no need to be so rude about someone else besides you having an opinion on something. Have a nice day.

ROTFLMAO!

Is that the best you can do? You seem to be emotional.
