YES, Deb! I've had people tell me, "I only feed the best, Beneful! I have to admit, that brand has some of the most touching, Disney-movie type dog food commercials. The young, healthy dogs I meet with these owners look none the worse for eating doggie M & M's. It isn't until people run into health problems with their dog or cat that they start investigating food quality. I'll bet the internet has changed everything for these big, long-established corporations. Their worst nightmare come true! I know it's caused the vets a lot more time answering owners' questions.
Our old, country vet told us he's seen dogs thrive on the cheapest dog food that turns poop red from dye and he's seen dogs have serious problems on pricey, premium dog food. His point was that genetics trumps many other elements of dog care and feeding. The good thing is, we now get to weigh a whole lot of factors and decide what to feed our pets. That is small consolation when you lose a little buddy, though.
