Well, I don't think I was ever guilty of super-sizing my dog's dinner at McD's. However, I did become a piciker fur kid "mom" as I grew older. I use to more or less trust all dog food companies to produce a quality product. But, when I started to look into it, I found that there really is a difference. On top of Science Diet I also give them powered vitamins for their joints now - probably because I'm so old I can relate to painful joints and I don't want them to have to go through it.

Don't have a dog, but I feed my bird french fries sometimes...

That poor dog died years ago :(
