I’m a bit shocked that people are still feeding this commercial dog food.

There are so many brands that truly should not be on the market. People are struggling to put groceries on the table and now worried what they can afford to feed their pets.

If you look at the ingredients in the food there’s literally nothing in it that would nourish a dog. My heart goes out to people who are having a hard enough time making ends meet in this horrible economy without adding to it the need to feed their dogs better food. Companies like Mars Petcare clearly do not care about pets. https://www.pedigree.com/products/dry/pedigree-dry-dog-food-adult-grilled-steak-vegetable-flavor

The fact that it has Blue #2 in it is the most concerning. It’s linked to cancer in animals. https://www.livestrong.com/article/402118-the-health-dangers-of-food-coloring-blue-no-2/
