    Reading and understanding labels is SO important, for our pets as well as for ourselves.

    I understand some poor folks actually eat road kill like deer, squirral, and rabbit. I find the whole thing just disgusting. But a dog will eat another dog's vomit and so will most cats, they see things differently.
    Cats will eat an entire mouse or rabbit bones, skin, eyes and all.
    Some dogs will too.
    Dogs will eat rotten carcass.
    I am not saying what they put in animal food is the right thing I am just saying that is how animals are.

    Yes, I've known about what goes into a lot of the lower quality pet foods for quite some time now and it's disgusting. Many of the labels show real chicken and other appetizing things but the truth is that it's made with horrible meat by products. If you read the labels of veterinary presription diets you'll also see this and these diets are supposed to help sick animals. I just don't get it.

    I've been feeding my 4 older cats a grain free diet for several years now and they've been doing great on it. They were on Innova Evo dry and canned, then Nature's Variety dry and canned, and now Wellness Core and Wellness grain free canned as well as Natural Balance grain free canned. My two youngest didn't do well on grain free so they're on a high fiber diet. It's still a good food because although it does contain some grains, it doesn't contain corn or wheat which aren't good for cats. They're on Chicken Soup For The Cat Lovers Soul Adult Light Formula dry and Adult Hairball Formula canned.
