no, she isn't... if the food is made by pedigree or any of their other shitty dogfood companies, I keep walking. if the food has corn, I keep walking.

my dog will never consume their products, nor corn. both are horrible for dogs.

if I have no choice and can't find a brand that's suitable for me to feed my dog, I'll go buy liver, hearts, pork feet, and various trimmings and make her something super extra special.

treats = single ingredient foods only...beef liver, or carrots are her favorite and she gets lots of it.

also tons of play time and running...I have a very lean dog everyone claims she's underweight, except they don't fully comprehend she's actually normal but their dogs are obese and they think that's not all..

edit: cats overweight because she refuses all food but whiskas garbage... again, going back to shitty foods from trashy companies that use corn instead of actual food.
