Must be a very confusing time for vets.
On one hand, we have the world's biggest candy company swearing that their cereal-based pet food is THE VERY BEST thing you can feed your meatophilic pet (they have to swear as they don't have a single study to show you), investing millions and millions into the notion that all other foods are simply terrible - grain free?! DCM!!! Fresh, biologically appropriate food?! A dangerous fad!!! - and now the same company buys out the biggest grain-free, largely meat-based, most biologically appropriate kibble on the market!
It's almost like this multi-billion behemoth will say and do anything as long as it makes money!
The Mars statement explains that Champion make "“biologically appropriate pet foods [that] nourish dogs and cats the way nature intended them to eat naturally in the wild”.
Biologically appropriate?
Nourish them the way nature intended?!
The wild?!! What is this "wild" you speak of?!!!!!!!!
So which is it - meat eaters such as dogs and cats should be fed a largely vegetarian diet of 50-60% cheap wheat & corn, some indigestible plant proteins and a token sprinkle of bone meal or largely meat?! They seem like two very, very, very different approaches.
I'm certainly confused.
Maybe the dog and cat have somehow managed to evolve beyond the basic laws of biology and physiology and are now able to exist on any old s**t they put in there. Lucky for Orijen feeders that.
