This is a subject I know a lot about. I'd be curious about your research program. I've been feed large numbers of cats and dogs ordinary Purina dog and cat chow for fifty years and never seen any health problems. I have switched to lamb and rice for the dogs.

I love
California Natural for one of my dogs who gets itchy on eating corn. It seems corn is in 90 percent of treats and foods and it is a big reason why I never considered Iams. I tell you I am sure many hunters who do use it will abandon Iams if they hear about this nonsense.
Here is one of my furkids (age 7):
I mix it with Nutro Natural Choice Lamb & Rice which has glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate right in it. Since adding the Nutro to his Natural Choice, his skin has lost all bad odor and he just smells healty. His breath is better too.
Here is a movie of a game of biteyface with his adopted little sister: biteyface.avi
Here's "little sister" Lucy (age 9 mo)

I have switched to lamb and rice for the dogs. Consider you and your pets lucky. May I ask how long most of them lived and what they died of? No skin, eye, ear problems? I have spent countless hours researching, reading books, and talking to others. I have also had friends switch their animals from the poorer foods and have witnessed the results.

...for one of my dogs who gets itchy on eating corn. I recommend anyone who has a pet (or a human frind) with skin problems to try avoiding beef. I have no scientific backing for this, but I spent two years going to a dermatologist before hearing someone recommend a beef free diet for my itchy dog. I tried it on both the dog and myself and both are much better. Lots better.There has to be a reason why high quality dog foods seem to have little or no beef.

Most of my pets have lived past 15. I don't count cats that play in traffic. About 20 years ago I lost all my cats to feline lukemia. I don't count that either. The dogs are mostly getting better food now, but the cats still live on Purina.
I agree that cheap beef containing dog foods seem to cause skin problems. I don't know about corn. That's new to me.

Animals rights extremists, namely a fifteen year old, have forced the Denver City council to consider banning circuses!She is a cute prop for an organized effort by adult activists, IMO. And in the land of Diane Regreat, it just might pass.

What do you know about pet foods. You are right but how do you know it? By reading about it, talking about it, and witnessing the effects of different foods. I do not think I'm an 'expert', but I feel I have much more knowledge than the average pet owner. When I was researching where to get my golden retriever, I stumbled upon a document called, "How to feed your Golden Retriever". From there, I did further research on my own and bought a book called, "Pet Allergies". Then, I did research on different foods and their ingredients. And, it continues from there.

I agree that cheap beef containing dog foods seem to cause skin problems. I don't know about corn. That's new to me. Yes, corn is a big one. The reason why foods with lamb in them are so popular is because lamb used to be thought of as good for dogs with allergies. That isn't really true today. You see, allergies often are the result of overexposure to the allergen, no matter what it may be. Often a dog will be doing fine on a brand of food, then years down the road all of a sudden develop an allergy to an igredient. Lamb was introduced because no one used to feed their dogs lamb, so it was a relatively safe bet to switch the dog to that. Lamb isn't bad for your dog, but since many dog foods contain lamb now, it doesn't have the 'hypoallergenic' properties it once did have.
My brother's dog has bad skin allergies and they put her on a diet of fish and potato. Her allergies went away.

...but the cats still live on Purina. It sounds like your cats are outside cats (mine are too). They probably catch mice and eat them, right? That is why they are healthy. They are eating what they were designed to eat. :)

I switched from beef to lamb for myself, and my skin cleared up. Many people in my family get severe acne after eating beef. The source of the beef seems to matter.
