I paid 50 bucks for a 35 pound bag of Science Diet, seemed high to me, at least it lasts for a few months


Hills tries to position Science Diet as some sort of 'premium' brand, but it has the same exact ingredients in it as the rest of them.

Don't waste your money, hedgehog.

Oh yeah - you know NOTHING about it. Thanks for the help with my question.

. . . and I could have sworn hedgehog mocked all those that buy organic foods as being swindled as essentially they were the same as the non-organic. Interesting.

Seriously, Matt, for the money, which dog food do you recommend? Ours love Pedigree, and of course with some Parmigiano-Reggiano sprinkles on top the dry food :rolleyes: thanks to their mother Angela.

Matt, what's up with all that bad pet food coming from China? Do you have anything to do with that?

It wasn't bad pet food coming from China. It was wheat gluten, used in pet food, laced with the chemical melamine. Melamine artificially distorts the protein level of the wheat gluten and attacked the pets renal systems.

Only one company really got burned on this and that's Menu Foods, who co-packs for grocery stores, WalMart, etc. We still do a pretty good amount of business with them, but they almost went out of business a year and a half ago because of this. I think they will make it, but there are still rumors.

Our biggest accounts, like Friskies, Ralston, Delmonte and Kal Kan all scrambled around when this came up last year, but none of their food was found to be tainted.

So you admit at least *partial* responsibility for that fiasco?:SIB

Of course! Who else supplies wheat gluten from China?

US, THAT'S WHO!

And the circle was just closed. ;)

On a serious note, the guy in charge of agri, or whatever, in China was executed over this crap.

I hope Wayne keeps his nose clean when he moves there. The commies don't seem to have much of a sense of humor.
