My sick cats take enough out of me and I only want to
learn new ways to help them. Not argue about it with a pet food company rep. My vet happens to agree, which is why I feel the way I do now. Which is all that matters, in the long run. I wonder if Hill's knows what an ass he's made himself out to be, and how poorly that reflects on them. He's probably done more to negatively impact the sales of their food with his lack of professionalism than any other factoid posted about it... -L. That "lack of professionalism" called my attention. I went to the pet shop some time ago and a Purina´s rep was there. I talked to him for a little while and he told me that commercial food is in no way substitute for homemade food. The thing about commercial food is that it is *exclusively* to make life easier for the owner. He even told me that he always had dogs. His dogs would live up to 18 years of age on homemade and now they live at most to 13. I really appreciate honesty. I´d rather buy a product from a company that comes clean than from a company that treats me like a moron. I must state though that I do not know if that´s Purina´s phylosophy of if that was a very honest salesman. |
