Buckshot, to anyone with a discerning eye, what I am saying is pretty accurate. Look at the different lines of feed. They all start cheap and work thier way up in price that is relevant to the quality as it goes up to. The grain or by-product from one company is not much different from the next. Corn is corn, beet pulp is beet pulp, chicken meal is chicken meal, regardless of the bag it is packaged in. Unless you are dedicated to feeding the best that you can buy, then one looks for price as the driving factor because junk feed from SS is not much different from junk feed from Purina or Diamond. Switching from one junk from Purina to SS is not much difference and really has no benefit to the dog. Crap is crap. As the quality gets better, the price goes up. As the price goes up, companies will actually seek out better quality ingredients, usually in the form of meat based protien and fat, because they have a consumer base that is interested in quality feed. What do you think actually drives these companies to seek out and produce quality feed? It isn't those that buy the junk. Anyway, the preservatives used become much better and as these ingredients become overall better, so does the performance of the dog as the fuel he burns is much cleaner and of better quality. Pretty basic stuff.
