Rachael Ray = Stay Away!

Add Rachael Ray to the long list of sleazebag celebrities lending their name to a garbage product for a quick buck.

Ray Claims "Look, we all want the best for our furry family members. And that’s exactly why I worked with experts in pet nutrition to create Rachael Ray Nutrish. My Isaboo loves food and treats made with simple, natural ingredients. So, what are you waiting for?"

Although her slick advertising seems to indicate she cares about animals a quick look at the ingredients in her low quality dog food tells the truth.
The Next "Celebrity" Dog Food: Rachael Ray Nutrish
Let's have a look at the ingredient list of these "simple, natural" foods:
Rachael Ray Nutrish Beef and Brown Rice
This "beef" formula actually contains more chicken than beef, more corn and soy than rice, a larger proportion of grain and soy ingredients than meat ingredients, generic animal fat, corn gluten meal as a cheap protein booster, and more salt than dried peas, tomatoes or carrots.
Rachael Ray Nutrish Chicken and Veggies
Again, the major part of this food consists of grain and soy, we also see the generic animal fat, corn gluten meal as a cheap protein booster, and more salt than the touted "veggies".
These "delish" creations are brought to you by Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, part of Dad's Pet Care, a major sponsor of the "Dogster" community, which also makes a number of other, poor quality lines of pet food.
As a reminder, here's a list of ingredients to avoid - these are not present in quality products!
