Yes, this is true of low-quality pet food. However, there are a lot of pet foods out there that are WAY better, and some that even have human-grade ingredients.Date: 12/20/2009 12:55:51 PM

Its funny I was having a conversation about this with a lady who runs an animal rescue charity last week.
Pets are still animals - do you think before people came along they ate pet food? Pet food has some horrible stuff in it - so horrible that it makes much more sense to feed them people food as its much better quality. But of course its expensive so pet food companies do a very good job of telling us its ''better'' for pets to eat ''specially formulated'' pet food.
One of the puppies she had rescued was quite happily chewing on a bit of broccoli the day we had this conversation. But she basically just feeds the dogs she rescues whatever people donate to her...
As for my housemate''s cat, we dont feed him people food because he wont eat it...not even chickenhe''s a strange cat....
