    • Thats a tough one since they allow euthanized animals from shelters and vet clinics to be grinded into food (meatmeal) and allow other disgusting products in it. Ever hear of the woman Ann Martin? She wrote a book called 'food pets die for, shocking facts about pet food', it is excellent and also describes the animal cruelty performed by some companies such as Iams. In the back of the book she has recipes to make for your dogs and cats and talks a little bit about what they need. The best advice is to ask an Animal Nutritionist, not a veterinarian because they generally don't know what nutrition is best (they often get deals from pet companies like science diet and iams to advertise their food for a discount and the vet doesn't even really know how good that food is for an animal). I am really into talking about this so sorry if I am going on. But check out an animal nutritionist and I highly recommend reading that book.
