I understand that many of you don't care for the food or the marketing or Abady himself. You can talk about the evils of chicken by-product meal, you can talk about 'cloak and dagger' approach, you can talk about the Brooklyn Bridge, but none of you could ever convince me otherwise this isn't the best food in the world! Fact is Robert Abady has helped a lot of people overcome problems and reduced the amounts of vet time and bills for many by developing "species-appropriate" feeds. This is about peak health and correcting problems via appropriate nutrition. I think this food is amazing fail to understand why everyone seems so animatedly negative toward this product. Abady is in your corner fighting for better overall nutrition and has been for decades taking on big players the WDJ in regards what is proper and adequate nutrition.
Some of you are skeptical of the numbers. You may be skeptical but I too am very skeptical when I see some feeds boast ridiculously high protein numbers (much higher than standard cat food at that) and then you look at all the non-meat items
and wonder were is all this protein coming from?
Some find the marketing inappropriate while others like myself are grateful to find someone who puts all his cards right on the table (through the research and articles) in regards animal nutrition and appropriate feeding. Abady states his position clearly on animal nutrition and the product reflects that position.
Odd thing is, right now all the marketing that most of you must be in full approval of is indeed the marketing under fire right now! It deals with the concept and common practice of the big players "humanizing" your pets. That humanization of pets is exactly the type of marketing I can do without, and that marketing has had a negative impact on the overall state of health of our pets health. For example, I recall my attention been suddenly drawn toward this TV commercial while I was sipping a hot coffee in a cafeteria. It was a dog riding shotgun in a convertible, with the seatbelt on him. I soon realized my attention picked for a second or two by a Beniful commercial; as the string beans and carrots start floating down the screen. That I think is the perfect example of humanizing your pets, riding in front passenger seat in a convertible w/ seat belt, coat blowing in the wind.
You would never consider feeding your humanized pets something like that horrible highly nutritious chicken by-product meal or that nasty human artery clogging lard. Your opinions may have been fostered along unwittingly by the constant barrage of humanization we witness daily through the advertisement...only products good enough for your own table that you would eat yourself...put your trust in us to serve for humanized friend only the freshest cuts of meat and chicken. And you think Abady marketing is so terrible for him stating his position on what is appropriate feeding and exposing the weaknesses in commercial rations and these guys have dogs in the front seat of vehicles? Well, I hope you all realize the safest place for your pet to travel
is in a crate in the back seat and vegetables, fruit, plant matter and grains could very well be doing your dogs more harm than good. Visit the pet food recall threads, look over the COMPLAINTS and the EXHIBITS and you'll get a feel for what I'm talking about. And in all honesty, I hope the lawyers tear them all apart for marketing to you and your humanized pet cheap and deadly ingredients from China. I only bring this up about the marketing because many of you feel Abady is the devious, unscrupulous player here in the marketing when in actuality, I think you all got it backwards!
