Have you seen the new Science Diet Commercials. There is one for digs and one for cats with the same theme. It starts with a woman saying “my vet told me that shedding can be caused by poor nutrition.” Then the rest of the commercial tells you to feed Science Diet to avoid this. How convenient that they run this commercial at the beginning of summer shedding season when most ALL dogs naturally shed. Crappy food may make dogs shed unnaturally I don’t know but what is the point of switching from crappy to even more crappy. Let us fill your dog with corn and cancer causing preservatives and road kill and he won’t shed. It just infuriates me!! Actually all dog food commercials make me ill. I especially love the ones that say and it is WITH real (like they are proud they aren’t using fake) chicken and green beans. We know this means that there is a microscopic amount of chicken..probably the beaks...but most people don’t realize this. And they make the food in different colors and shapes. You think the dog cares. That is so it looks good to the humans when in fact the shapes are filled with garbage!! The thread what is really in your dog food should be required reading for every pet owner.

I have seen that commercial and it makes me ill too, as do ALL pet food commercials! One of my friends has an older Lab who has had a couple of bouts of really serious stomach upset this past year and I suspect it is from feeding him inappropriate food (like left over french fries when they go out to eat ect.) or just plain feeding too much. He also feeds him a lot of supplements, and who knows if one of them aren't causing the problem? Anyway, his Vet told him to switch to SD and cooked vegetables! I saw the dog last week after not seeing him for a couple of months and I was shocked at how awful he looks! Nicki....let's you and I start a t.v. show, "Honey, we're killing our dog(s)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For anyone who hasn't seen it, there is a program called, "Honey we're killing the kids!" It's about families who have very unhealthy habits...eat the wrong foods, don't exercise, smoke ect. ect.
