Undercover BIG Pet Food Manufacturers

"They" say "The best form of flattery is imitation" and I guess I just have to chock my latest experience to that! Occasionally I will have someone contact me about our foods and our products who comes across as helpless in understanding nutrition, how it plays such an important role in our lives and the lives of our pets, and how any diet modification can possibly help their "plucker". As is normal with me, I give full account to anyone who contacts me about my findings in my research, the changes we have made in our own flock, the changes we make in our products, and I answer any question that I can answer. If I don't have the answer, I tell them I don't have the answer. I have always been a person of integrity and truth. I cannot stand the act of lying. I have ranted many, many times about major pet food manufacturers and how they often use cheap ingredients and then tell the public that the ingredients are wholesome and nutritional, when the actual fact is that contained in the first five ingredients of almost any commercial pet foods are ingredients that can be had by ANY food producer in huge quantities at very low cost. THAT IS THE REAL REASON THEY USE THOSE INGREDIENTS. So I guess it stands to reason that occasionally I will suffer attack from individuals who are connected in some way with these BIG COMMERCIAL PET FOOD MANUFACTURING COMPANIES. They feel threatened by the information our company provides. And why shouldn't they feel threatened? FINALLY they have another pet food company challenging them? No matter that our company is small, very small. In business one never underestimates the potential of a competitor. But the big difference between "us" and "them" is that we do what we do for the good of the pet community. Period. We don't do it for profit in any way shape or form. Of course, this also causes them to steam because they know that they don't have that kind of integrity. They know that their real reason for producing the foods they produce is to put a profit in their pocket, why else would they use cheap, inferior ingredients? I hope our organization is able to get a strong "movement" of people behind us who want the truth told about pet foods. I hope that people are not complacent about this issue and just sit back and let the big manufacturers shove disinformation down their throats and pay those manufacturers to do just that. But if we are not able to get a "movement" behind us, then at least we made our small statement during the time we existed. And no one, but no one can say that we had anything else in mind but to bring hope and aid to the pet lover's community. Yes, I encountered another attack this last week. I willingly gave all of the information asked of me to this coy and cunning individual who posed so helpless and then came back at me like it is ME who is the villain telling ME that it is I who is hiding my research and ingredients. When, in fact, every single ingredient is listed on our website. Lab reports are listed. The dates of those lab reports are listed. Every research finding I come across I share with the public. I exchange email after email after countless email with individuals. I telephone individuals with my long- distance dime just to offer as much support and aid as I can. I ENCOURAGE anyone to try to get the owners of the BIG pet food companies to exchange countless and detailed emails with you or to spend their "precious" time away from their vacation spot just to speak at length and in detail with John Doe Public, the VERY public who buys the pet food company's owner and CEO's way to that vacation destination on board their private jet taking them to their costly yacht. In the meantime, our organization, which supports several non-profit agencies, will continue to research the best we can with the little amount of money we have, develop appropriate foods and programs, produced with only the highest quality ingredients, speak publicly as well as individually to concerned pet lovers, and sell our foods to the FEW who want to spend their hard-earned money on products that do what they say they will do, and live with the results that they endeavor to experience with their pets health. We will stay in business as long as we can and we will settle for the minority of the pet community WHO WILL NOT SETTLE FOR LESS than the highest quality they can obtain for their feathered, furred and leathered friends. We will continue to produce pet foods for the minority of people WHO DON'T BUY WHAT THE MAJOR PET MANUFACTURERS ARE TRYING TO SELL TO THEM AND THEIR PETS. Our company started as two people, George who is my husband, and myself who WERE and STILL ARE SICK AND TIRED of pet food manufacturers throwing junk out to us, in huge bulk lots, to feed our living, breathing family members, our pets. Today, we are still working 16 hours a day for that very same reason AND to provide our food to private pet lovers who truly care about the health of their pets, AND to provide aid and hope to people who selflessly give of their time to rescuing neglected and abused animals.
