[QUOTE="donna723, post: 314037, member: 1883"] Star is right. A lot of people think that just because a grocery store dog food is relatively expensive and the TV commercials [I]say[/I] that it's good that it must [I]be[/I] good! WRONG!!! Pedigree is crappola ... so is Beneful. I would sooner feed mine sawdust ... which is actually in some dog foods - if you see "cellulous"( sp?) as an ingredient - that's SAWDUST! And you don't even wanna know what 'meat byproducts' are! The good foods can be very pricey but many times if you go to the websites they have coupons. And if you buy the really BIG bags, it's much cheaper. Since my car has been messed up I haven't chanced making that 60 mile trip to buy mine their regular Merrick and I have been giving them the Purina Lamb & Rice.
