Take a stroll down the pet food aisle and you’ll be amazed at the dining options facing your canine companion. Forget wet or dry, chicken or fish. Pet parents today choose between formulas for weight control, active seniors and sensitive digestion. There are organic food lines, vegan lines, grain-free, gluten-free and hypoallergenic lines.
