William all of the foods I listed are reviewed on this site. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews-/whole-earth-farms-dog-food-dry/ now they are rated based on ingredients and all of the ones that I listed for you receive 4 stars out of 5.Except Taste Of The Wild which receives 5 out of 5 stars.Now your Pedigree receives 1 star,if you want to find out why just look on the left of the screen and click on 1 star foods and scroll down to Pedigree.This website will explain all about each major ingredient and why it is good or bad.I think if you start comparing ingredient lists you will start to see the the good foods are made with plenty of REAL MEAT.And higher quality grains.Except Taste Of The Wild,which is grain free.I hope this info helps.
William Please click on Older comments,I left another post for you but it got pushed back…
Michelle, it’s like anything in life, if it hasn’t happened to them then it really doesn’t happen. This is one of the brands that I was feeding that killed my dog. Some people are just to damn CHEAP to feed a good food to their dog. In most cases it is just the lazy AMERICAN’S, to into themselves and to cool to spend 30 minutes reading and educating themselves about dogfood. It really is getting old seeing these lame idiots come here and say such stupid stuff.
Think about it this way, for the money people like this spends on the gas and his latte every morning, his dog could be eating Orijen. Or if he used his new super duper cell phone just half as much as he did, his dog could be eating Orijen or any other good brand. I see it everyday a guy has no car but he walking down the street drinking a mocha and talking on their cell phone.
I work in a pet supply store, and daily people will come in asking for suggestions on what is the best dog food for their pooch. First it will depend on the dog(for example I would not suggest a high protein diet for small breed dog). Our best seller is Taste of the Wild, and for very good reason. When people switch these are the comments I get back from them. “Their coat is so much healthier” “They arent eating grass anymore”. People comment their their dog is eating better than they are, and its really only a few bucks more expensive, if that.
Anyone seen Super Size Me? If so, what the heck do you think you are putting your dog through, feeding every meal of their life double cheeseburgers and super greasy fries.
Like I always say, if you cant afford something, dont get it. You cant afford a dog, dont get one!!
Thanks for the information but given my experience and track record I’ll stick with what has worked for me. It may not work for you but don’t treat people like their ignorant fools because they don’t share your opinion. I’d put my dogs up against anyones, including yours, in a performance test where their fuel, that would be the food fed to them, plays only a slight part in how they perform and bet that mine would win ten times over. Solid stools, great coats, clean teeth, and top shelf performance. Pass the Pedigree please. Sorry but I do not share your opinion.

Jess:
Don’t drink mocha, no cell phone, and drive a 4cylinder pickup truck so what are you even talking about. Your comment is unfounded and immature.
Pat I agree with you,cheap grocery store dog food sucks!! But I disagree on your other point their are some people out there that truly LOVE their dogs but just don’t know any better.When I was 5 my mom got me a Collie.It was my job to feed-water,walk,play with and love her.Which I did EVERY day.I grew up with this dog-told her all my secrets,she followed me everywhere.I had the HONOR of calling her my dog.She had a big part in making me the person I am today,she taught me responsibility and how to be a good friend.I had her for 11 years,but 100 years wouldn’t be long enough for me.What did we feed my best friend? Grocery store brand canned and kibble.Did that mean that we loved her any less? Absolutely not.I wish everyone was educated about dog food,and only bought the good ones,but I think if someone truly loves their dog and gives it a good home but feeds cheap food…at least it has a chance to live and it is not put down for lack of a home…I also think that the people that are educated about dog food should try to explain in a NICE way to other people that cheap dog food sucks and it is worth paying a little more for a decent food.JMO
William Hi.Don’t let Jess bother you he means well,I believe you that your dogs do well on Pedigree,but maybe they would do even better on another brand.Their are a lot of good ones to choose from.Here is Pedigree against Taste Of The Wild:Pedigree’s first 5 ingredients: 1.Ground Whole Corn. 2.Meat and Bone Meal.3.Ground Wheat.4.Corn Gluten Meal.5.Animal Fat(Preserved with Bha-Bht.I am going to leave you a link to a page that talks about bad ingredients,it tells you why they are bad.Okay now Taste of The Wild’s ingredient list 1.Duck 2.Duck meal 3.Chicken meal 4. Egg product 5. Sweet potatoes.Which list looks better to you? Which one do you think would be more species appropriate?Dogs really do need a diet that is based around good quality meat.The reason that I chose this food is it’s not that expensive compared to Pedigree.It is available at independently owned pet stores and feed stores.They have a store locater on their website,to help you find a store in your area.Also Costco’s Kirkland has good ingredients at a good price.Do your dogs a favor,take your ingredient list for Pedigree with you when you look at this site. http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=badingredients
William – here is a review for Pedigree,it explains what all of the ingredients actually are. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/pedigree-dog-food-dry/
William here is another review for Pedigree,I’m not trying to prove you wrong,I’m just trying to help your dogs. http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews_/showproduct.php?product=3&cat=7
William is killing his dog and he is just like all the others that are tooo lazy to take an hour out of his life to figure out what he is really doing to his dog. If I brought my vet to his house and had him exlain to him what happened to my dog by feeding this posion to him, he still wouldn’t believe it. Concrete is hard stuff and some people have it postioned in their heads. Ya, your dog could compete with my dog. I bet from fifty feet away you could see the BIG difference in their coat. Closer it would be the eyes and ears. In 10 years from now the fur on the outer edges of his ears well come out, he well start to smell the ears are dirty all the time and his eyes well glaze over. He most likely already has diareha and throws up but he ignors it. He most likely uses some excuse like all dogs do that. Everywhere I go I get compliments on my dogs coat and sometimes even on how clear his eyes are. Sorry if I sound like a ()(*& but I have been there and I’ve it seen it and I well never let it happen to any of my dogs again.. Now take a good look at my dog and his nice shinny coat then look at yours…Pedigree is cheap shi( and should have some sort of warning label on it like tobacco. Michelle this guy is hopeless, anyone that thinks this is a good dog food and argue it is, is down right ________.

I posted this once before and I well again. I can tand I have, stood where the dogs come into the dog parks and I can pick out the dogs who are feed good food and the ones who are feed crap like this. I would bet I am 85% of the time correct.
Jess Yeah but when people don’t know any better they will argue that Pedigree is great.I think that we should try to help them by explaining it nicely.Remember it wasn’t that long ago that the two of us were using bad dog food too.I used to think that Purina One was good and Nature’s Recipe too.But now I know better.But if we argue with people it gets us nowhere..we need to try and explain it to them nicely.Remember it’s actually the dogs that we are helping also…
Michelle, yes to some degree, but the difference between what happened to me and the clowns today, is I had no Internet. It is just so easy to get the information today compared to my day. With all the links we leave it’s a piece of cake for these people to get educated. I think I am just getting tired of lazy people who won’t do any work for their animals. Do you think these people even use use these links? My guess is about 25%, otherwise they would be like Dawn and thank us. German Shepherds have very rough coats, but not Tony and it is due solely to his food. When people pet him they are always shocked,especially other German Shepherd owners. Then I give them a short education in dog food and most of the time people can’t believe it. You know I have had at least 20 people change their dogs diet after petting Tony and if I see them again it is always a big thank you. Makes you feel really good that you helped a dog.
Jess you are right but maybe someone else that comes to this site will use the links.Maybe they do use the links and are too proud or stubborn to admit they were wrong?I don’t know but when someone asks a question or leaves a totally wrong post the only thing that we can do is try to help.Sometimes it’s hard to be nice but if you are rude then you will totally miss your chance to help a dog…

Your comments again are about as mature as a third grader throwing a tantrum. I did not come on this site to get in a shouting match with someone like yourself. I never said Pedigree was a great food but I considered it descent and works for my dogs. Like I said I never have had a dog die of kidney failure or any ailment that could be attributed to the type of food they eat. Never has my dogs had their hair fall out or eyes glaze over. Their ears are cleaner than mine. My labs spend alot of time in the water and I make sure their ears are dry and free of any infections. I’m not trying to argue with you, I’m just stating the fact that I have had good experiences with Pedigree. Sorry if that is not what you want to hear but I am offering a non-biased review of my experience over the years. I thought that’s what this site was, a place for people to post reviews of dog food, not a bashing site where keyboard warriors like yourself accuse people of being ignorant lazy fools because they don’t share your opinion. And as far as the coat comment and me killing my dogs well let’s just say I highly disagree.
Do what you want they are your dogs,, but you have been warned in a very aggressive manner. Keep in mind everything I have stated about coat, ears, eyes and skin and in 5 years come back here and tell me how they are doing. If your dogs are doing so great on this poison, why not give a link to some close up pictures so I can see his eyes,ears and coat…Don’t believe me, Don’t do any research, don’t listen to anyone and yes your head is pretty darn hard.

William you keep coming back to this site.Now I am trying to figure out why.Is it to fight and argue with Jess??? Or is it to learn about dog food and get your dogs into a better food??? HOPEFULLY your not wasting my time and you really do want some suggestions.Do you even bother to look at the links that I leave or are you just scouring the site looking for a post from Jess so you can have someone to fight with??? Anyway here goes one last time… Your Pedigree is a one star bottom of the barrel food,there is NO ARGUING-that is a fact!!! If you will look at this review you will understand why.Read it carefully,the reviewer goes over every ingredient and explains why it is bad for your dog. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/pedigree-dog-food-dry/ Now if you want a decent food for your dog that won’t break the bank,there are some really good foods at a value price.Whole Earth Farms-by Merrick pet care.Costco’s Kirkland Signature.Taste Of The Wild-Diamond foods.Fromm Gold Nutritionals by Fromm Family Foods. Please take my advice and stop Fighting/Arguing with Jess,it is getting nothing accomplished,and there is really nothing to argue about if you read and understand ingredient lists then you would know that Pedigree along with EVERY other grocery store food is nothing more than left over garbage from the human food chain that should be thrown out,but instead these GREEDY multi-national companies prey on unsuspecting consumers by selling this SWILL to “FEED” these poor innocent creatures….Shame on them!!!
Ya know some people just get under my skin and at my age I shouldn’t let that happen. Oh well, I am only human. What I have tried to point out, is that this is one, of 2 brands I was feeding that led to the tumor that killed my dog. IT IS WHAT KILLED HIM !!!! I try to exlain that, but when people just blow it off, it really bugs me, especially when they start the name calling. I don’t know how many times we have posted that corn, wheat soy, BHT, ETHOXQYIUN and other crappy ingredients can really harm your dogs. Then to get someone that well not do any follow up reseach and argue that it isn’t so, just blows my mind. I really believe that these people are salesman for these products. It’s just really hard to think some people do not go to the links we leave or just read what is on this site.
Hello,
I have a mixed breed who is rather lazy and way overweight. I have been fighting to get her down to the weight she is supposed to be but she keeps getting worse. I have tried different foods, but nothing seems to work. I have tried running with her but she runs a little ways and then lays down. She will only walk not even half way around the block and then lay down. I normally have to force her to walk the rest of the way. Not sure what to do. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks! Oh and I have tried tossing the ball to get her to run but she just looks at it and then nothing. Thanks again!!!
Sheri-Are you feeding the recommended amount on the bag? If so a lot of people make this mistake.You stated that your dog is “way overweight” that happened from too much food and too little exercise..my suggestion is cut her amount in half so if you are feeding 4 cups cut her down to 2 cups.
Wow what happened?? Anyway, for every one pound a dog is over weight is the equivalent of a human, being seven pounds over weight.
Grains in dog food can also be a reason that your dog is overweight.Check this out http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/canine-nutrition/dog-food-carbohydrates
Also take a look at these http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-industry-exposed/grains-in-dog-food-1 when you get to the bottom click on part 2
When that big recall happen it was because of mold on the corn. This article brought that back up.
I have to agree with Jess above as to comparing dogs. I have a toy manchester terrier as well as a german pinscher. My toy is: ch St. Lazar’s For Your Eyes Only and he can look him up on the AKC site. I do not believe that my dog would win any shows by feeding him cheap food. He eats Orejin only as this is the only food that brings out the best in him and keeps him as a champion. I would also agree with some of the other foods on Jess’s A list though I found out recently that a couple on the list have been bought out by Purina. The pet store I buy my food from is discontinuing those 2 brands because they can no longer guarantee the ingredients. If you can’t afford Orejin or one of the whole meat can foods (EVO, etc..,) then taste of the wild would have to be my second choice. Pedigree is pure junk plain and simple. If you want proof then just read the ingredients of the bag and you will see.
And much to my suprise:
I went to walmart and read the ingredients of ecery bag and can of food they sold. Not 1 brand that you can buy from walmart is good. Everyone one had at 3 grain products in the list of first 5 ingrediants and some of these brands were just about the same price as the grain free foods at Petz First.
