Review on 🐶 Optimized Brothers Complete Dog Food by Doris Lopez

My dogs sat on Brothers until they got nauseous after opening a new bag. Since I couldn't 100% rule out other causes (although nothing had changed in their environment), I contacted the company to see if their formula had changed. I was told no. Fortunately, I keep detailed records of my dogs. I found an old tag I kept when switching from another brand and compared it to the new bag. There were differences in the ingredients (and the order of the ingredients). To be honest I'm not sure when the formula changed and it may have had nothing to do with my dog issues but I wasn't happy that I didn't get an honest answer when I asked the dog's owner company if there have been any changes. . To be fair I didn't give a time frame when I asked if the formula changed, I just asked if it changed. Perhaps since I contacted the company about a recent problem with my dogs, they honestly replied that it hadn't changed (recently). As carefully as I thought about my notes, I skipped a step. When buying a new bag I had to compare ingredients - beware buyers. I am not authorized to give a professional opinion on the quality of pet food but I have spent the last 6 months researching the pet food industry. My results were disheartening, to say the least. If you're interested, look up information about AAFCO (what it is and how animal feed can match its nutritional profile), how to decipher ingredient lists (weight of meat before processing vs actual amount in feed). end product, why manufacturers add ingredients like peas and cassava and "salt separators", overpackaging facilities versus company-owned and operated manufacturing facilities, animal nutritionists versus Ph.D. (education), pet food profit margins and skills required to manufacture/sell them, and how marketing drives sales.
