Hey, it's all gravy. My neighbor had a dog that lived to be 20 and she fed him Pedigree for most of his life. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, though. She'll never buy anything but Pedigree, though. But, I know people that have chain smoked their entire lives and have clear lungs, but, I still advise people not to smoke, just like I still recommend different foods to people if I think there are better choices. But, adversity is what makes the world fun. And, why tons of dogs live fine off Ol' Roy. Ick.
