Sadly, I'm not surprised at all! These people just don't get it. They just assume that since its dog food, it must be good for them.

This past weekend Rosco had just finished supper ( bowl of tripe) and my uncle asked "cant you just feed him Iams?" I replied "why would I want to? Iams is one of the worst foods out there." He just doesn't get that there are better dog foods out there.

It is all about the advertising. For people who don't take the initiative and do the research, the t.v. commercials tell them all they need to (or want to) know. Iams, Eukanuba, etc can spend millions of dollars in tv advertising and get the people to buy their food just because someone on tv said it was good!!!

Oh that is sad. You should write your own review to offset that idiot.
