I went to a meeting with a Science Diet rep yesterday for work.. oh boy is all I can say..
I'm not sure who feels what about Science Diet here.. but I have to say I'm not a big fan at all.. maybe the vet foods from the company are better.. but the ones we sell seem pretty poopie to me!
One thing I kind of agree with or at least can understand is that by-products are ok.. I never really understood why by-products were considered bad.. since in the wild the first thing animals eat from a kill are the innards.. maybe from the animals we farm the insides are bad because of chemicals and things? But then wouldn't the meat be just as bad? Any insight on this would be appreciated..
Somehow they try to convince us all that corn is good for dogs.. and it's the best grain you can use! This blows my mind.. and their argument was just that other companies are wrong when they tell you corn is bad..
And pretty much the whole time he was talking he was putting down other brands and companies.. We had reps from Nutro talk to us a while back and their presentation was wonderful.. they never had a bad thing to say about any other brands and companies.. just talked facts and gave info on their product..
He also wouldn't actually answer questions he was asked.. maybe he was just a little daft.. but he would just talk about a part of the question without actually answering the question..
Anyway.. it seems to me that all the ingredients in Science Diet are the same as the ingredients in grocery store brands.. their only 'difference' is that their ingredients are a higher grade.. sigh..
I think I'll stick with my Nutro
