Excerpt from another food ad kindly posted to the FML: >Added Taurine (and low Magnesium levels) of course, will not harm Ferrets, >but it is clear that cat food is developed to meet the nutritional >requirements of Cats. I was under the impression that ferrets required Taurine? I know I've read that in half a dozen places. Anyone like to enlighten me on this one? I apologize for my sarcasm, but I generally automatically disallow almost anything stated as a "fact" by someone who's trying to sell a product based on that "fact," unless I have a way to check it out for myself. Salespeople hate me. :-) This is the second ad from Companion's Choice to hit the FML in three days. If someone who has researched the food--and DOESN'T work for the company--would like to write a review of it, I'd love to read it. I don't mean to sound hostile, but it's all the same debate... Another example: just because the Iams prices haven't gone down ON THE SHELF, that doesn't mean the wholesale price hasn't had to drop. I know, from working in a pet store, that pet stores make very little profit on pet food; the food is the item that keeps owners coming back. Pet stores make most of their profit on high-markup toys, treats, etc. Grocery stores require a higher markup, so in order to keep prices the same on the shelf, the wholesale price would have to decrease. I'm not trying to be argumentative and obnoxious! I just want people to think for themselves a bit and not believe what they're told. Including by me! :-) Jen and the Crazy Business [Moderator's note: I've considered their first post to be an ad. The second one I wavered a bit on -- it did have useful info. But, as I mentioned earlier, I'll have to keep an eye on this ;-) BIG] [Posted in FML issue 2994]
