I'm sure there are valid studies showing complete diets lead to longer, healthier lives, and I can tell you from my personal professional experience that is what I've seen.
The next question is "What is a quality food?" My point is don't believe the advertising hype saying that one food is obviously better because is has XXX ingredient or doesn't have YYY ingredient.

I seldom recommend one food or one brand. I've found the best quality food is the one your dog/cat will eat, have normal BMs, and are healthy when eating it. That isn't the same food for every animal.
