Since I am sure you have some sort of affiliation with the petfood industry, I am not taking your comment too seriously, since it’s really the petfood industry that is deep in propaganda and misinformation.

But I will try to reply to some of your points.

Did I say that corn was an allergen? no. I said exactly what you said, SOME dogs are allergic. But still you should look up the word “allergen” anyway. It means “any substance, often a protein, that induces an allergy” so yeah, corn is an allergen if a specific dog is allergic to it.

Dogs are carnivores, they don’t need corn, or other cheap sugary high-carb fillers.

The petfood industry would love us to believe that Menadione is perfectly fine for pets, but if it’s so safe why is it that it’s discouraged for human use? And whether it’s toxic or not, why would I want to feed my pet a synthetic vitamin, instead of a natural one?

I have no idea how anyone could think a “by product” is healthy and a good source of nutrition. huh? The by-products in pet food are throw-aways not fit for human consumption. Why do you think so many human food companies also manufacture pet food? Because it’s a cheap and easy way to recycle their crappy by-products and make a ton of extra cash.

Your comment about pet food being regulated by AFFCO is a hoot. You should have actually used the word “SELF-regulated”; since our human food is barely regulated by the FDA, I don’t trust the government to tell me what is and what isn’t good for my pets.

Let me ask you Beth, would you eat your dog’s food? I think not. There’s probably a big ole disclaimer on the bag saying that it’s not fit for human consumption. And you would probably get very sick from eating it for a long period of time. Why is that? hmm, maybe because it’s not fit for dog consumption either! ha!

Your poor dog might live a long life on corn, by-products, Menadione, and brewers rice, and that’s your choice to feed it to the poor guy. But remember, there are also humans can also live long lives on donuts, potato chips, and Burger King. Does it mean they are healthy and fit? Dogs are quickly becoming an overweight, sickly population and it’s because of the crappy cheap dog food that people feed them!
