Ask Susan Peters Red Flannel Dog Food Review

Red Flannel, humph! I do not care what color of flannel you choose as long as you don't feed this junk to your dog. Shame, shame, shame!

This is what the company has to say about Red Flannel:

Wholesome Nutrition.

Red Flannel^TM Canine Select Formula is specifically formulated as an affordable diet for all breeds of adult dogs. It supplies 100% complete and balanced nutrition for your dog at every life stage.

How on earth do they figure "wholesome nutrition"? You could feed the bag the food came in and do better. Let's take a look at what Red Flannel is asking you to feed your dog in the name of wholesome nutrition.

No wonder Red Flannel has a history of pet food recalls!

Chicken By-products are floor sweepings collected from a rendering plant. Anything that hits the floor and is not fit for human consumption is by-product. By-products can't have "added" feathers but the ones included in the mess are just fine. Meal means the floor sweepings have had the water removed and the feathers, poultry poo, whatever has hit the floor - is now concentrated.

Corn, Wheat, and Soy are cheap fillers used by pet food companies to reduce production costs.

We should take time out from this review to remind ourselves of the good and bad effects of corn, wheat, and soy in a cat or dog's diet. *Corn, wheat and soy are resonsible for fever, ear aches, ear infections, bad bread, dental disease, hair loss, dry and itchy skin, bloat, tumors, warts, moles, abnormal nail growth, arthritis, deafness, blindness, digestive problems, inflamed liver, inflamed kidneys, bladder problems, heart problems, and death. Oh yeah, for the good effects of corn, soy, and wheat - reduces the cost of pet food production. This does not sound wholesome to me!

Can you believe Red Flannel did not bother to use a quality wheat but decided to use the discarded portions of wheat (not fit for human consumption) as the wheat for Red Flannel dog food?

Meat can be any recycled animal, including cat or dog, but not one in particular. Where did the bone come from? Hmmm...

Natural Flavor. I always like the way pet food companies hide the use of manure in the ingredients. Natural flavor is made from the manure of the animal the pet food company wants the pet food to taste like. Yep, Red Flannel is flavored with chicken manure.

Brewer's rice and brewer's dried yeast are by-products of beer production. There you go, your little pet gets what is left over after a beer run, the stuff not fit for human consumption.

Wholesome, my foot! Ol' Roy, which is reguarded as one of the cheapest pet foods on the market, out scored Red Flannel by 3 points and Ol' Roy has Class Actions filed against the company. Given time Red Flannel will be responsible for countless pet illnesses and deaths.....mark my words!! - Susan Peters
