Speaking of dogs, does anyone but me get indignant over that dog food commercial that brags about being full of "healthy grains and vegetables!"

THANK YOU!!!!!!
I thought it was me! Yes, dogs like veggies when they're getting people food....but I've never seen a dog eat veggies over meat! And yes, some dogs (like mine) will eat grass.....but it's not often and some dogs do it to induce vomiting!
I read an article on MSN (can't find it, I tried! but here's another one
http://www.msnbc.com/news/963396.asp ) that said CATS are carnivorous, and must be fed meat, but that DOGS are NOT! and "Vegetarian diets are fine for many dogs"! Since WHEN are dogs NOT carnivourous????? In the wild, sure they might eat grains if they like them and are available....but if you offer any dog a veggie or a piece of meat, which are they going to choose!!!!!
I know my dogs, if given a choice of buscuits, will take ANY meat (or cheese) flavored over the veggie! I usually end up with all veggie treats if I buy the variety boxes!
Dogs are not carnivorous......yea right!
Boy, I wisk I could discuss this with Duke and Daisy! I bet they'd disagree! LOL
I'm going to feed mostly canned...and yes, I'm going to find the ones with the lowest carb count thanks for the links..to both my fat kitty and my dogs, since they seem to be filling out a bit more than I'd like (they're dobe/shepherd/hound mixes, about 10 months old). I'm sure they won't complain!
