I've found a new dog food and was wondering if anyone else uses it. I'm not able to feed raw, so I need to find the best processed dog food available and at the best price (I'm hoping there are others in the world like me! ;-) ). Can anyone give me some insight into this food? From the internet, I've learned that PMI Exclusive (made by Purina Mills, a company of Nestle-Purina & Land O'Lakes owns the company) is NOT Ralston Purina Company who makes Purina Dog Chow, Purina One, Purina Pro-Plan, etc. I also found this: "Purina Mills (www.purinamills.com ), based in St. Louis, Missouri, has 48 plants and approximately 2,300 employees nationwide. Purina Mills is permitted, under a perpetual, royalty-free license agreement from Ralston Purina Company, to use the trademarks ?Purina? and the nine-square Checkerboard logo. Purina Mills is not affiliated with Ralston Purina Company, which distributes Purina Dog Chow and Purina Cat Chow brand pet foods." Purina Mills (PMI) products are purchased within the North American region. They do not use wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate in their products. Nestle Purina makes most of their products in their plant. They do use other manufactures to produce products if they do not have the means for packaging. PMI doesn't advertise like (eg) Eukanuba. PMI only sell their products at dealers and not retailers. The only advertisement I have seen is at my local dealer. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
