While I admit Pedigree is not an ideal food.... I would MUCH rather have a dog fed pedigree than to be stuck in a shelter.
I can't argue with their ad campaign even if it promots less than desireable food.
To be honest... I fed Teddy pedigree for a while and then change to solid gold milennium and I can't say I noticed a huge difference. he was ALWAYS very fit and athletic and had a nice coat no matter what food he was on.
So I stand by my belief that a dog is better off in a forever home on pedigree than in a shelter on the BEST food
