That appeared tonight. Reappearing on Jan 26th check your local listings or TV service provider. This exposé takes viewers inside the world of pet food manufacturing and is essential viewing for every pet owner. Talks about the flawed regulation and the BS marketing that the major pet food companies do. Right down to stuff that we have talked about right here.
The pet food industry is a large ship with exposes like this appearing on national albeit Canadian Television, shows that the Rudder is turned and the boat is starting to come around. The big pet food companies must be squirming in their board rooms seeing this aired!
Hopefully our friends south of the border can pick up the show, quite an eye opener for the uninitiated. My wife was shocked, she was a believer in the status quo baloney marketing of the big pet food companies ... not anymore!

I sent an email to the production company to see if there are any plans for a USA showing or if it's possible to get a copy. Every now and again you can get a copy of a Canadian show that has no plans to be shown south of the border directly from the production company. *fingers crossed*

Please let us know what the answer is, a lot of us in the states would be interested in seeing this. If it will help them to know there is interest, give us the contact information and we will contact them also.
I saw this show and it was really good. It wasn't necessarily pro-raw either though.
It was cool, they showed where they made old work boots into dog food that met all the standards for protein, etc.
They also interviewed random customers in a pet food store about how they chose their pet food and why. One guy put samples of kibble on the floor and let his dog choose the one it liked best. The interviewer explained why this is not a good way to choose (the pet food companies spray fat on the kibbles to make them taste better, etc). The lady likened it to allowing a child to choose between broccoli and pizza.

Just got the response :-)
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in our documentary, "Pet Food: A Dog's
Breakfast".
We appreciate you taking the time to inquire about purchasing a copy of the
show.
I am sorry about the delay in responding to your request. We were somewhat
overwhelmed by viewer response and needed time to work out our DVD sales
process to cope with it. That issue has now been resolved and we are pleased
to say that the DVD's are now available.
The price of the DVD will be $44.95 CAN + applicable taxes + shipping
charges. If you would like to proceed with the order please email me back
and I will send out an invoice.
Thanks again!
