I am shocked at the crap in Bakers and Pedigree

[Springyknickersohnovicars]

I've just got a pup and am pretty much horrified that these foods are marketted as good for dogs, the meat content is around 4% and they contain so much shit. They would have been my natural choice for pet food until the RSPCA recommended Burns and the pet shop took me on an educational tour of dog food. I would have accepted the marketting blurb on face value to be honest.

Some of the cheaper foods are 80% moisture, if I wanted to buy my puppy that I'd buy her a drink!

agree 100%

Chappie chicken and rice is good if you were looking for a cheaper food.

Bakers is the blue smarties of dog food world. Avoid at all costs. I'd rather my dogs go hungry for the night if Bakers is the only option.

I am new to doggie ownership and will be grateful to the rspca and pet shop for educating me. The really are like feeding your pet on MacDonalds for breakfast dinner and tea. Horrible stuff.

when our staffie was young we used to feed pedigree, bakers etc. it was only when he was diagnosed with colitis that we did some research and, like you, were horrified to find that his food was mainly water and cheap fillers.

we now feed nature's harvest - high meat content, veg and rice.

I thought dogs liked eating crap

Puppy hasn't eaten her breakfast she usually dives in, she will eat if hand fed, should I feed her the food or just wait until she dives in there? Should I moisten the Burns to see if that helps? Or just chill and do nothing.
