Hey, everyone.
I recently switched dog foods from Diamond to Iam's. Right before purchasing it, I heard from a few people that Iam's was a good brand. The main reason I chose Iam's is because when I ran out of Diamond, I started adjusting his diet to a free bag of Iam's I got from a vet. So even though he had only had Iam's for a few days I figured I might as well get that. Also, at the pet store I went to there was a huge bag of Iams on sale--40lb for $25! Which is always good for someone who doesn't make a lot of money.
Now about a week ago, I was at this Petsmart place and some old guy with and apron and chest hair sticking out of his unbuttoned shirt started running a sales pitch about this new brand of dog food and how it was superiour because the people that made it took years to study what dogs needed to be healthy, and of course they had been making healthy human for years. Then he pointed out how the main ingredients in most "supermarket" brands is a generic meat name like "chicken" which is random chicked parts as opposed to "Chicken Meal" which consists of the good meat part of the chicken. Also, he said that any "cereal products" like Corn Meal, are worthless and just used as filler so the companies can compete in the supermarket industry. Of course Chicken byproducts is also bad, and that I definetly believe.
The brand of food is called Nature's Variety. If what this guy says is true, I'll probably consider that or another brand of similiar quality in the near future
