Purina Puppy Chow — 

Don't listen to anyone who says this is a good food for your pet. I work at a pet store and am very familiar with all different kinds of pet foods. If you go into a speciality store like PetSmart, Petco, or Pet Supplies Plus, this is the absolute worst kind of food you can buy for your dog. Yes, it's cheap, but it's also filled with By-products and corn. Each are cheap fillers, and are absolutely disgusting to feed your animal. By-products can be any part of the animal including hair and beaks and other parts of the body that aren't meant to be eaten. Corn doesn't do anything for your pet except for make it eat more and go to the bathroom more. While Purina Puppy Chow may seem like a cheap way to feed your animal, they actually eat more of this cheap food, and you might end up spending the same as you would if you fed a premium food. Don't feed this food!!

Do you have peer-reviewed studies to back up your claims? Oh, you work at a Pet Store, well, my apologies. I know how selective Pet Stores are in hiring only the most qualified distinguished graduates from acclaimed colleges of veterinary science. It's not like Pet Stores stand to make a profit from selling overpriced premium pet food.
