PERFECT TIMING....WE ARE COMING DOWN THE HOMESTRETCH WITH THE WET FOOD FROM PURINA.. IT IS USUALLY SHIPPED BEFORE THE 15TH... AND WHAT A BLESSING THAT IS...MAKES ME REALIZE HOW AWFUL IT WOULD BE TO HAVE TO GO BUY A PALLET OF FOOD !!!- ALSO MAKES ME REALIZE , I HOPE WE ARE DOING ALL WE CAN FOR THEM--
BEFORE THEY DONATED OUR FOOD... I WAS BUYING PURINA... SO I AM NOT JUST BEING NICE SO THEY WILL SEND ME FOOD.. THO THE TEMPTATION WOULD BE GREAT....
WAY BACK... I REMEMBER.......DOG FOOD IS A LIKE A RELIGION TO ALOT OF PEOPLE-- NOT ME...... IN MY OPINION, THEY ARE SO INFLUNCED BY SOME ADVERTISING AND DESPARATE TO "DO THE RIGHT THING" FOR THEIR PETS- THEY RELINQUISH ANY NORMAL THOUGHT PROCESS AND SEIZE ON THE MENTAL TRAINING DONE BY AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN... THE MOST PEQUILIAR.... IN MY LIFETIME.... I HAVE KNOW ONE KENNEL THAT SWORE THAT FEEDING A SPECIAL FOOD OF GROUND UP, DRIED, FOUL SMELLING FISH, WOULD PREVENT HIP DYSPLASIA. AND PEOPLE WHO FED IT, WOULD ARGUE..(.THEY ALSO SOLD IT.) . AND WOULD SHIP IT TO CALIFORNIA -- SMELLY 50 POUND BAGS---
I HOPE.. BUT I AM NEVER TOO SURE... THAT ANY INTENSE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN -- DOG FOOD OR POLITICAL---- PUTS ME INTO REVERSE AND INTO "QUESTION MODE"
IN THE CASE OF DOG FOOD, WITH THE HELP OF A CP, WE TYPED IN 74 DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS ON
A HUGE SPREAD SHEET - ADN LABELED THE FIRST 10 INGREDIENTS OF 25 DIFFERENT DOG FOODS...
I AM ATTACHING IT-- WITH HOPES YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ( AND PROOFREAD/ CHECK IT OVER....?)
SDP 'S HISTORY OF FOOD, SOMETIMES WHEN THE GOING GOT ROUGH FINANCIALLY, I BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST PURINA I COULD FIND-- SUPERMARKET PRUINA'S DOG CHOW-.. OR COSTCO'S KIRKLAND- ---- FOR A SHORT SPELL, WE
FED CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE DOG LOVERS SOUL BECAUSE THEY GAVE US A GOOD DEAL, AND I LIKED, BUT WHEN I HAD TO GO BUY FOOD, , BUT VALUE FOR THE DOLLAR, I HONESTLY BOUGHT PURINA.....30+ YEARS... FOR A COUPLE REASONS.
I THINK--- ( NOTE THAT "THINK" CAREFULLY -- I COULD BE ALL WET......BUT..)--- AN AWFUL LOT OF THE DOG FOOD- EXCEPT PURINA -- IS PROCESSED BY A COMPANY CALLED DIAMOND MFG.-- THEN THERE WAS THE HUGE RECALL DUE TO A PIECE OF DUCT TAPE CARRYING SALMONELLA IN THEIR PROCESSING PLANT SOMEWHERE... COSTCO'S KIRKLAND WAS INVOLVED--- AND I WAS WATCHING THE LABELS ON SEVERAL BAGS-- IT LOOKED TO ME LIKE DIAMOND JUST CHANGED THE WAY TEHY LABELED TEH BAGS, BECAUSE THEIR MARKET WAS SO HUGE, FINDING ANOTHER COMPANY TO TAKE OVER COUD NOT HAPPEN IN A FEW WEEKS. PERSONALLY........ I THINK THEY PULLED OFF THE DUCT TAPE, CLEANED THE MACHINERY AND BASHED ON .. UNDER A NEW NAME. A ND NEW ADVERTISING...
MY OTHER CONVICTION ON DOG FOOD, IS THAT PURINA IS A HUGE COMPANY-- AND IF A BETTER FOOD COULD BE MADE, THEY WOULD SIMPLY MAKE IT--- 100% SLICED SIRLOIN OR SOME SUCH....AND CHARGE A HUGE PRICE FOR IT.... -PRO PLAN IS A GREAT FOOD--- OUR DOGS LOOK GREAT ( AND THEIR BOWELS ARE FINE AS LONG AS TEHY DON'T INGEST ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS...)
NOW IF I COULD ONLY CONVINCE OUR VOLUNTEERS TO FEED SLIGHTLY LESS OF IT- BECAUSE SOME OF OUR OLD LADIES ARE GETTING A BIT ROUND... CHAOS SPECIFICALLY...'
***
THIS IS HARDLY A SCIENTIFIC STATEMENT --- BUT I MUST... ALOT OF DOG FOODS CONTAIN CORN.. AND PEOPLE RAVE THAT IT IS NOT GOOD FOR DOGS... WELL...... IN MY EXPERIENCE LONG AGO BEFORE SDP AND FENCING...- WE LOST SEVERAL CHICKENS TO A DOG ( ACTUALLY A PIT BULL JANINE BROUGHT HOME....) AND TEH 3 CHICKENS SHE CAUGHT SHE WAS VERY CAREFUL TO EAT THE INSIDES FIRST..WHICH WERE FULL OF THE CORN THE CHICKEN ATE-- THEN THE DARK MEAT THEN THE WHITE...
------PLUS YOU PUT DOWN A SCOOP OF HORSE "SWEET FEED" AND ALL THE DOGS WILL HAPPILY EAT IT.
*********
HOW DID I GET GOING ON ALL THIS.
WELL ??? EDUCATIONAL
I HOPE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD TEH FOOD CHART.. IT IS INTERESTING... AND DO CHECK IT FOR FACT WITH WHATEVER YOU FEED????
