Question Why is pedigree or bakers bad?

Heya quite new to the forum.
Have read on several threads now what a bad food bakers and pedigree is!
Daisy is 7 months old so is on a mixture of both the wet and dry puppy foods of these brands!
It was a bit of a battle trying to find food she likes as she grazes and then when she wants to she'll eat it all.

I personally am quite happy feeding her on this. She likes it and has no health problems teeth are good coat is good.

Just wondering why everyone thinks it is so bad. And what they would suggest (i may not change...) and why?

Re: Why is pedigree or bakers bad?

basically theyre full of rubbish and additives, they contain animal derivitives which are the waste like feathers,wool,lungs,guts etc...and dont contain hardly any meat, bakers is also full of sugar so most dogs love it.

Re: Why is pedigree or bakers bad?

They're full of cereals which a dog doesn't need in it's diet, some cereals can also cause health problems in dogs. If the label on the food says eec permitted additives then that could be bha and bht both of which some experts believe cause cancer.

it really is probably the worst food on the market & its so expensive i pay £5 more for Arden Grange, which is 30% meat(compared to bakers 4%) dosent contain wheat (which is really hard for dogs to digest), has no artificial additives and it isnt tested on animals either.

Re: Why is pedigree or bakers bad?

wellbeloved is an okay food but steer clear of Hills it's not so good. I always fed my young dogs on Burns and then last year I found a food called Orijen which is a fantastic food.
