> Well, apparently, not picky enough!


Amen!  My experience with Purina has been limited to dog and cat foods 
working in a LARGE retail chain. We have had bags returned with dead 
animals in them, human fingernails, chunks of human hair (we THINK) bags 
of OBVIOUSLY mixed feed (dog and cat in one bag) Rancid food, moldy 
food. Dogs just randomly start vomiting on it.. the lists go on and on 
and on and some of them were a LOT worse then what I am listing.  The 
company I worked for used to have Purina making their store brand.. not 
any more.
The other thing about Purina is the Loose labeling applies to their dog 
foods as well. Yes they live up to AFCA standards.. barely. but frankly 
afco standards are enough for your dog to live on not necessarily 
thrive. and I have never known dogs to thrive on any but Purina's top 
dog foods (Pro plan) But they don't like people to know that so that 
they can corner all the markets.. from the cheapest grocery store brand 
to the higher end premium lines.  LOL Ok I am on a dog food rant on a 
horse list.. but I have spent so long studying K-9 nutrition for my own 
dogs benefits as well as that of my clients that it's near and dear to 
my heart.. and Purina as a company makes me really really angry!

Sorry for the off topic rant..
