I was reading the savings for high end foods... and thought back to my evening welcome home routines.

My "welcome home" was opening the door to the very fresh pungent perfume from the litter box. It would about knock you back out the door it was so bad. I used to swear they knew what time I came home from work and the timing was absolutely on purpose.  One the air fresh was used, and things settled down, MK would poop, half hearted bury it and make a mad dash out of the box, sigh.. she wasn't the guilty stinker welcoming me home, but she was the little stinker scattering the litter everywhere in her "get me out of this" poopy smell dash.

After switching to no grains, no gluten, I get kitties wanting to be petted. Scooter flipping over for me to make her tummy happy with a rub and flopping in the floor. Happy times. Ling stretching from the counter and MK wrapping around my legs.

I can breathe too. No more holding my breath when I open the door. And even as nice, are the soft silky furkid coats, no mounds of cat hair and no obsessive scratching/licking.

Hill's Science Diet? Nature's Best? No way would I ever feed that kitty krak again. Duh, I thought it was a good food. My nose says it ain't so.

It makes me very aware how easy it was to forget how bad it stunk. And, there are folks who find it hard to believe it can be different, even with fish flavors.

We should let our furkids challenge the pet food companies & their media companies to an odor meter test !

Offy, my welcome home routines were very similar to yours awhile back.  Things are very different here now and no more do I come home to the eye burning stench of the seven litter boxes that occupy this household.

There has been however, a lasting side effect that I have been tending to for myself this past year.  Prior to switching foods, the stench seemed to create an overgrowth of chest hairs for me

Thank heavens for electrolysis............................

LOL, the Itchmo seal of approval has been designed to provide consumer guarantees that use of the commercial food will have no human side effects, require no human electrolysis, and requires all commercial pet food entries to pass the poop sniff test specially designed to assess clean air standards. All pet food products and the resultant poop will be analyzed for content (before & after) at the entrants expense and the comparitive review should support all media ads for same.

    

As long as we don't have to get the EPA involved.  (environmental pollution agency) 

Looking for volunteer trichologists.

 

New proposed AAFCO OP standard for pet food labels: "Nutritionally complete, balanced, and poo-odor free"
Not many commercial products would pass. rof And, jeez, it didn't take Itchmo almost 9 months to develop the
standard and cherry picked testing results.
