I always try to pass on the information I think would make a lot of pet owners more informed. Something I learned about a few years ago was the importance of ingredients in our pet food. My dog always licked her paws, seemed itchy, and I finally found out that it was most likely a food allergy.
We decided to see what else was out there and found out that CORN and by-products are common ingredients in commercial foods, and that includes Science Diet, Iams, Purina, grocery store brands...
I found an EXCELLENT source of information at http://www.bornfreeusa.org/facts.php?more=1&p=359
It's long, but extremely important and informative. You'd be disgusted with what goes in our beloved pets food.
I've gotten a few comments before that some people think it's some sort of PETA thing (no offense to them), but it is not. I hope people read and pass along the information. Do your own research online about the ingredients.
Another website that I've been passing along has not been loading, but I will check back later to see if it comes back, it is www.dogfoodanalysis.com which gives independent ratings of dog food based on it's ingredients.
Another good website forum is http://www.itchmoforums.com/ where you can keep up with the pet world. I've found a lot of useful information about food on here too, the members are VERY good people who constantly keep in contact with pet food companies to see if they are taking proper measures to keep our pet food safe. So many people were affected by those 2007 recalls and so many lost pets due to tainted and bad food.
Again, I just try to pass along what I feel is so VERY important for our pets. I sincerely hope that these sites can inform and help out any pet owners.
