When I read this I almost cried. I could not believe that this sort of thing was allowed. I always fed my Labs the best food I could afford and I couldn't understand why they died so young (around 14 years old) Now I know why they had those horrible lumps on their skin.

Totally agree with how bad some of the main commercial feeds are.
That is why I will only feed a decent quality natural hypoallergenic food

I cannot see how Pedigree can claim it Better with Nature stuff is any better when they don't even admit to what goes in it. What are 'derivatives of vegetable origin" anyway.

I discovered a great new (and actually natural) food in my local Sainsburys called Joe & Jacks and my dog MAX loves it.
It seems even better than Burns, which I used to feed, but I can get it when shopping and so don't need to drive somewhere else to get the dog food!
I think they;ve got a good website but can't remember the adress

My advice to anybody want to avoid the muck that is available is look at the ingredients list. If you don't understand what is in it there is probably a good reason why the manufacturer doesn't want you to!

Hi,

It's terrible because the avererage pet owner that cares deeply for their pet is not aware they are harming them even when they buy some of the better brand name dry dog food. My understanding is that pet food manufactureres paid big money for the priviledge of omiting the listing of ingredients in dog food. I do know one thing for certain. My dogs died before their time because I fed them good quality dry dog food.

My Lab Heineken developed terrible lumbs on his legs and had seizures and I had to put him down and he was only 14. I felt so bad the day he died I wrote this poem.

Friends like you are hard to find
Gentle trusting true and kind
And when day at work is through
Nobody seemed as gald as you

For my best friend

Yes I have other friends it's true
But none of them will ever be like you . . .

That is why I posted this link. Maybe it will save someone from making the same mistakes I did.
