I have a tendency to fill out online thingys to get coupons for free dog food, which I donate to shelters and rescues. I got this in my email today. Isn't it lovely? Almost as good as that wonderful BENEFUL ( Read more... )

If you want something that'll REALLY depress you, check out the ingredients listing on Disney's new dog food.

Yes, Disney.

And it's called "Old Yeller."

Yeah, the irony hurts.

jennie_c_d September 27 2005, 02:41:24 UTC

Yeah, I saw that. You know, they SHOT Ol Yeller. And put him in the food....

Started quickly scanning and not paying real attention at the 'Purina' stopped reading alltogether at the 'corn.'

Bone meal...just like I put on my GARDEN!

jennie_c_d September 27 2005, 03:53:41 UTC

What's good for the flowers MUST be good for the dog!

Bone meal isn't bad for dogs, though. :) And if your dog doesn't want to or has problems with raw smaller bones, grinding them into a powder or "meal" helps them absorb the nutrients. So yes, in this case, what is good for the flowers IS good for the dog! But that doesn't mean Purina is doing a good thing for dogs.

Seizures would be the LEAST of my worries if I fed her that shit.

My favorite: animal digest. Contrary to popular opinion, with the exception of whole preys consumed, dogs and their wild counterparts don't generally munch on the rumen contents or "animal digest" of their prey. Yucko.

I mean is there ANY meat in that food? Like actual meat.

jennie_c_d September 27 2005, 22:17:44 UTC

I love it when they don't say what animal it comes from. My coworkers rave about how great Bil Jac frozen is, so I went to look at it today. Gag! Almost every ingredient is "animal this" or "that by products". There's even "milled cereal products?" What the hell is that?

rinalia September 27 2005, 23:10:38 UTC

There's even "milled cereal products?"

GASP! You don't know what that is!?! For shame.

Milled cereal products are the result of luring a bunch of really cool cereals together, have them mill and gossip amongst themselves in a large silo and then mushing them all together!

jennie_c_d September 28 2005, 00:25:44 UTC

Ew. That sounds DIRTY!!!!

Seriously... gross? Yeah... anyways. I was totally disgusted by it. Wouldn't feed it to my enemy's dog. It doesn't specify meats, it doesn't specify grains. What the hell is it? No one really knows....
