You can wag your finger at me all you want, but you wouldn't do the same if someone was feeding their baby a McDonald's cheeseburger and laughing. Why, because it is not appropriate to their needs and a baby can't digest food like that. Same for pets. Fat, arthritic pets with diabetes is not normal (as with people, and often unhealthy people feed their pets their same unhealthy diet).
Here is a dog before and after a species appropriate diet
I'm not trying to convince you, but perhaps other people will learn or be curious. There is tons of bad info out there put out by corporate pet foods. My mother had spent over $20k on visits to the vet because the dog had severe allergies and asthma. She had a horrible cough that kept her up all night and she couldn't walk more than a block without sounding like she was going to die. The vets gave her steroids and all number of medications because they didn't know what was wrong. I tried and tried, but my mother would still feed her "treats" which included sweets, chips, and hamburgers. When my mother died, I switched the dog to a raw, species appropriate diet and within ONE MONTH, this dog who had been terribly sick her entire life was better. Many pets with skin problems or a bad smell, erratic behavior, depression, bad teeth, organ problems, overweight &c., they all improve with a change of diet. Because pets and most especially cats cannot digest things like sugar or grains it leads to serious chronic illness. Just a little is too much.
I work with animal rescue groups, so I care very much for pets and see many sad stories. But I also see good owners who love their pets very much and who just need some better information. So, even though it may kill some lolz, I'm gonna speak up so people don't think that's ok.
the wealthy woman fed her Pekinese crap, which led to the poor thing being fat and sick, and Dr. Herriot would keep the dog for a couple weeks doing nothing but feeding her good food and getting her lots of exercise......the lady would pick up the dog and and exclaim how the transformation was a "miracle of modern science"
