Dear Dr. Alice,
My husband keeps getting the cheap dog food for our dog and it drives me crazy because she deserves better. How can I convince him to spend more? Sincerely, Spends a Lot
Dear Spends a Lot,
You actually do not need to buy the fancy foods for your pooch. Food is food. I mean, you could feed your dog people-food or you could feed your dog regular dog chow that is not boutiquey and pricey. Some of the big manufacturers really have GREAT research and cleanliness going on in their manufacturing sites. The best thing always, is to read the labels. If your food has a LOT of fiber, your dog may just be pooping it out faster and so there may be less nutrition and more poops for you to clean up. So you just need to read those labels and compare labels too!!
