Butcher's Selects?



That juicy rare steak on the label of this dogfood sure does look delicious, doesn't it? But when you open the can, all you'll find is some spongy little chunks of "meat" in a thick brown gravy. The "gravy" is kind of bland, but the "meat" tastes like really cheap beef bouillon.

It's called "Butcher's Select, " but I can't say that I'd select this stuff if I were a butcher. My dog sure loves it though.

or a raw chicken thigh - with bone!

Most of the food my dog gets is homemade, but I occasionally buy canned food when we're traveling. The dog thinks it's a treat, I guess.

Wow, Dave. I am so impressed. I try almost every item I feed to my dog, but I draw the line at canned foods. Snausages? Sure. Kibble? Why not. Brown chunks in a gelatinous gravy? No thank you. You're a braver and better dog parent than I.
