guess Purina is hurting in sales department
I looked at the ingredients in some of their "better" dog foods. The "Select' category. WOW, just WOW. It amazes me they have the balls to sue Blue Buffalo when their own ingredients suck so bad.
I mean look at their Select "Adult Grain Free Formula".
1. They use so little animal protein, they can't even put which animal the protein is from in their formula name. Hence just the generic "Grain free formula" instead of say "Beef Grain free formula".
For those of you that don't know the FDA regulation for what's allowed in a dog food name, read this: http://www.englishbulldognews.com/f...o-Pet-Food-According-to-FDA-Regulations-A-LOT!
2. The first 11 ingredients:
Chicken, canola meal, cassava root flour, chicken meal (natural source of glucosamine), pea starch, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols (form of Vitamin E), fish meal (natural source of glucosamine), dried egg product, pea fiber, dried beet pulp, pea protein.
Not much meat there eh..
Now compare that to Blue Buffalo. I'm too lazy to type out all the ingredients in their Grain Free Beef formula but the first two are Beef, and Chicken Meal. I'm not convinced that most of the protein in Blue Buffalo comes for animal protein either, but it's way better than the crap Purina sells.
