    Just because a food is expensive and popular doesn't mean it's better!

    Purina Pro Plan and Purina One Smartblend have an almost identical ingredient list and guaranteed analysis on their products, but you pay double the price for pro plan. Royal Canin is $124 a bag and doesn't contain any real meat (lean animal protein)! It contains mostly corn (hard to digest and...

    @godsgirlxox Go read complaints on royal canin and hills foods and then keep telling yourself everyone else is just a liar and wrong. Because experience doesn't mean shit compared to the word of an association funded by both. Nestle and mars really care about the earth and human health, so I can...

    @seanmcc Just like Andrew Tate, the attention isn't going to make me disappear any faster. Don't like it, don't comment, or be a troll, I don't care.

    @jensearching How is the Purina One and Purina pro plan listed above not almost the exact same ingredients?

    Just because a food is expensive and popular doesn't mean it's better!

    @jensearching I've literally been posting the entire time that there is no reason for Royal canin, Hills, and PPP to cost as much as they do based on ingredients and posted the ingredients of 3 less expensive foods with similar or the exact same ingredients at 1/2 the price, and I really just...

    @jensearching Purina pro plan isn't just health issue specific. There is large breed, small breed, puppy, large breed puppy, senior etc, and everytime I see a food recommendation post it's always people raving about how great PPP is for puppies, but it's the exact same as Purina One. Dog food...

    @jensearching I don't feed my dogs raw, I feed them Purina One because it is literally the same as Purina pro plan for half the price. Go look at the ingredients and guaranteed analysis yourself. No mention of raw anywhere in my post.

    Just because a food is expensive and popular doesn't mean it's better!

    @jensearching I'm not getting worked up over anything, I've laid information out and if someone reads it and finds it useful then I'm good with that. I was buying PPP for years, because everyone said it was so great, so it's just ridiculous that I've wasted thousands of dollars on food that's...

    @wandalouise Not shaming anyone, the ingredients and nutritional information is there, if you can't see how you are over paying or you don't care, that's good for you, but for anyone else that cares and is going broke trying to feed their dogs the same cheap food in a shinier bag, well I hope...

    @georgearriolamusic Vets do recommend brands that support the WVASA, that's pretty obvious. My vet doesn't sell any science diet or royal, she has also refused to vaccinate yearly for over a decade as she followed the manufacturers direction, not the vet associations guidelines, as over...

    There is absolutely no reason people on this sub should be messaging me threats and insults, that is just ridiculous and immature (but this is reddit) and anyone else doing it will be getting reported to reddit and the sub mod! I made a very valid point, and for anyone that thinks the vets are...

    @blessedbrian1989 Thanks for the broken link. It's funny that human based nutrition is now finding that overly processed foods, foods high is starch and carbohydrates, as well as cooked foods are not as healthy for us as raw fruits and veggies, and lean meats with some animal fat. Turns out...

    @blessedbrian1989 I'm not saying the by products are bad, I tried stating that there is no nutritional testing done on animal by products to prove they have the required amount of nutrients. One batch could have more bone, skin and eggs, another could have meat, organs and bone. Rendering animal...

    @blessedbrian1989 By products are any portion of animal product not for human consumption. Animal by-products are commonly defined as parts of a slaughtered animal that are not directly consumed by humans. This includes fat, bones, and gelatin. The vast majority of this material is 'rendered'...

    @frenchfry578 A by product is different then just meal. Example, chicken by product is the bones, organs, eggs, feet skulls etc, ground together. Chicken meal is the skin, meat and some bone. Quite obviously they would contain different percentages of protein, fat, and vitamins. Grain free has...

    @eront Except Hills and Royal canin charge double or triple what a grocery store does for the same ingredients and they can't be bothered to actually test the food they are making to make sure its safe? Hills profits in 2016-2017 was $1 Billion, yet they couldn't afford proper testing? Royal...

    @eront https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/hills-pet-food-12-5m-class-action-settlement/ I'd sue to if a company who was so invested in my dogs health, killed my dog. https://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/science_diet.html Super popular.

    @joshhatescheese You should really do your research on Hills science diet, there are several lawsuits and thousands of people with horror stories when vets recommended they start a specific formula. It's disturbing.
