I didn't read the article (don't need to get myself upset), just the snip DeeDee posted. I agree with Lola and Brandon's thoughts about "reputable pet food company" and just want to say: NONE of them are "reputable." Show me ONE that hasn't had multiple recalls, even some of the "better quality" ones. And it seems like a lot of those "boutique" pet food companies have been taken over by the big conglomerates. I'm not "sheep" enough to think they have my (pet's) best interest at heart.
As for this:
And do yourself a favor – stop reading the ingredient list! Although this is the most common way owners select their pets’ food, it is the least reliable way to do so."
Only if you haven't educated yourself and understand that those ingredients are listed in order by weight, BEFORE they've been processed (dehydrated), and that esp. with cats, wet food or (even better) raw will always be a better choice due to the higher moisture & meat/fewer carbs content. Nothing makes you learn about species-appropriate nutrition like living with a pet that has chronic health issues.
