Time for more Q & A from the #1 Breeders of Dobermans in the US - that's www.bigdobermans.com Q: I have heard that some major dog food brands are living on their past reputation, what does that mean?
Answer: There are several major brands of dog food that have been bought out by major companies such as Proctor & Gamble, Colgate Palmolive and Mars. A couple of these foods you will see advertised at major dog shows, I will not mention names, you will know them. These foods had built a good reputation by providing high quality food for your pets. Higher profits thru cost cutting is a major cause for the recalls in 2006 & 2007; ingredients from China. Don't be sucked in by the high dollar advertising budget. Check out the ingredients on the back or side of the bag. Here is one of the keys: chicken by-product meal. This is a trend of some of the major brands as a way of reducing manufacturing costs. I have checked with our manufacturer and there is a considerable savings by using this instead of chicken meal. There are other trends in reducing the cost and quality of the food, check the Guaranteed Analysis: reduced amounts of glucosamine & chondroitin, fewer vitamins, less omega 3&6. We are doing our best to keep the price down, but we refuse to bring the quality down. Our goal is to provide your dog with the proper nutrition and make this super premium food available to more families and pets. Your dog is worth it!
