I am really happy this week ! I belong to a program that allows you to test different products and give a report back on how well they work. Before, I have had easy-prepared meal, and breakfast shakes, and other household things. This time they sent me a nice bag of Purina Tuna, Barley, and Egg dog food. My dog were sniffing the box before we even got the food out of it ! Once we had the bag out, they were jumping up and down, wanting to try some. They just knew that package was for them.
So now they are enjoying the new dog food, and I posted a review for it on the Purina beyond website. The program is called BzzzAgent, and it is free to sign up, and then they put you in campaigns to try different products, depending on you profile. So, you would not get baby stuff if you don't have kids, or dog food if you don't have a dog. The campaigns are tailored for each person that tries the product.
Just the little bag that they sent me is about $10 at the store, so my little dogs are really eating good for a while.
Personally, I would never feed my cat or dogs any food made by Purina. They use tons of grain by-products in their food, artificial colors and flavors, and meat by-products (not true meat). Plus, I live relatively close to a Purina plant, and it smells awful. The plant saturates the air with a foul odor. It really makes me wonder what they are truly putting in the food.
I have heard both good things and bad things about Purina. When I had horses, we usually bought them the Omolene made by Purina, and Omolene was considered to be one of the best horse feeds on the market. We also fed our dogs Purina Dog chow, with no ill effects; but of course, we also supplemented that with meaty bones from the butcher shop for the dogs to chew on. They would cut up a lot of beef, and in hunting season, there was always venison, or elk bones in the barrel, and the butcher shop would give you the barrel of dog bones, as long as you brought the barrel right back for them to re-use.
We had Great Danes back then, and they really loved chewing on those big knuckle bones, and whatever else was in the barrel.
