Answer:
That's too bad. Maybe you should have bought your dog better food Debbye. I doubt that your Vet recommended any of these brands, and if he did, he didn't go to Vet school, and the blame rests with him. These are all bargain brands, and the company, while responsible, may have had an unforseeable problem with the foods, so I don't feel too much anger towards them. Ask your Vet what food to get your dog, and listen to him. It's part of the expense of owning a dog.

Iams, Eukanuba, and Science Diet are hardly bargain brands. I, on the other hand, feed my 7cats and one dog Purina Chow, dry kibbels. Cheap. Non-fatal.

- Rich are you stoned? Have you ever taken your dog to the vet and paid the bills?
are you naive enough to believe that the food the vet recommends could never be contaminated during production?
do you actually believe stuff like every meal you've ever been served in a resteraunt some pstcho hasn't spit or pissed in the food somewhere along the line. it must be part of the expense of being _rich_
Do you know what an income fund is?

Answer:
Um, yeah, my dad is a Vet. Iams is not a good food to feed your dog. Science Diet used to be good, even though I didn't see any of Science Diet's dry foods listed.
I did not know what an income fund was before today, now I know.
Last time I checked, spitting in someone's food won't kill them. Buying your pets less reputable foods will.
My apologies if my post angered you, but that is simply my opinion, no more. I don't think my name has anything to do with owning a dog. In fact, I know it doesn't. Do you know what student loans are? I do, and I don't have enough, that's why I have a job. I make certain sacrifices to buy a lot of cologne, as do most of the people on this site. You should apply the same to owning a pet. If you can't afford it, don't get one. Unfortunately, no one in America seems to think the same way. That is why I've seen beaten, starved, and malnourished dogs nearly every day at my dad's clinic. I've seen puppies come in throwing up blood because their owners thought it was kosher to feed them chicken bones. After the puppy started acting weird, the owners took them out to the country and just let them loose. Some grandma with a heart picked it up and took it into the vet, even though she didn't have the money to do it. That dog comes into the clinic every six months, and it's one of the happiest dogs there, even though his owner doesn't have all the money in the world, she makes the sacrifices necessary to take care of her pet.
No I am not stoned. Just an honest question, what is a "pstcho"?

- Rich OK care to rattle off the foods that the salespeople are probably paying a kickback to "prescribe" and then tell us how much is this food for a healthy Labrador retriever for a month?
Student loans? Yes I give the kids money, as a favor I tell them there's no interest and to do the same for their kids.
again the naivete - having someone in the kitchen who is a carrier of the tubereculosis bacteria will kill you.
I don't have any idea how you could get this far and think that people who buy their pets food .... skip this part
Shilling for pet food makers who sell through vets is enough.
Let others try to wrap their minds around equating buying their pets food at a pet store or grocery with animal abuse.
"pstcho" is what happens when you press the t instead of the y on your key board. take a look at where they are.

Answer:
Ah, psycho, I should have actually seen that, but lets say I'm not the most attentive today.
Just a question, when was the last time you knew anyone with Tuberculosis?
Good point about not staying on topic with abuse, but I still think that buying your dog Ol' Roy is not good pet ownership. Even if your name is Rich.
My dad was once paid to promote Science Diet. He promotes iVet. The vet clinic stopped carrying Science Diet I think because of fatty acid content, can't remember exactly why. The clinic (and therefore my dad) no longer receive money from Science Diet. In the end, my father isn't a salesperson, he is a Veterinarian, and a lover of animals, so I don't care to rattle off the foods that salespeople want Vets to promote.
This brings up another point however. Vets are still people, and not all people are good. I can see your point about not believing anything your Vet tells you, because I personally have known a few scumbag Vets. I no longer associate with them, but I remember exactly how their practice works, and why you shouldn't go to them. I guess you can say I am privileged in that sense, but I still think you could make a better choice in dog food than Price Chopper brand. It is still part of the expense of owning a dog, and you should take as much responsibility for a dog as you do a child. I still don't get the whole restaurant thing. I'm not naive about restaurants at all, I used to work in one, and will work at one this summer.
