Perscription Diets- Not as good as you think

So a few moments ago while i was searching for a new variety of dog food for my beagle who seems to have an ear was allergy that will not go away.  I am convinced he is allergic to something in a food he is eating but what can it be!

As i am searching online and reading all the dog foods, i laughed when i came across those "veterinary rx perscription dogs foods" http://www.petfooddirect.com/Product/8721/Hills-Prescription-Diet-d/d-Potato-And-Venison-Formula-Canine-Dry-Food

I am an avid reader of ingredients in dog food and learned all about what should and should not be in the foods.  One of them is Ethoxyquin.  Out of curiosity i read the ingredients in this Premium perscription dog food and the chemical is in this dog food. Figures

I also realized one of my favorite past companies- EVO and Innova dog food that I used, I no longer use because Procter and Gamble purchased this high end company and I am sure will source out cheaper ingredients now.

My word of advice-  read your dog and cat food ingredients.  If you must feed them the inexpensive dog food, purchase a wholesome gravy or pet food topper or supplements to add and give them the nutrients they deserve!
