Feeding Is Believing Event on Saturday, 7/26 at Southside Animal Shelter from 12-2pm. First 10 cat & dog adoptions will be free and you will have the opportunity to learn about pet nutrition and get free food.

I'd be there, but I'm either going to be doing a transport or at the Indy Pit Crew Pet Community day, cause my doggies need their vacs. Hope lots of people will make it, though!

Do you know what foods will be represented? EDIT: Never mind, I saw the explanation on the link.

I will be volunteering at the Indy Pit Crew Community Pet Day handling the paperwork. I hope lots of dogs can come out and get their shots for cheap. Tell everyone you know: FREE microchips for pits or pit mixes and cheap spays and neuters for pits and large breed dogs. Actually I think pits or pit mixes get fixed for free!

Personal opinion here - I REALLY hope the person doing the nutrition education does not work for the sponsor. I wouldn't feed that food to my dogs if they paid me a LOT of money.

I've noticed most shelters feed that food. Is there a reason for that? Do they provide it for free or something? I just wondered.

Just about free... I was told that before HSI switched to Eagle Pack, they were feeding the cats Science Diet. The company was selling it to them in 4lb bags for just $0.29 per bag! Cost them more to ship it...

Yeah, they gave us a bag of food for Scamper because that was what he was eating. I told Jennifer that I was going to feed him Canidae so he could actually gain weight and be healthier.I know my brother got Pedigree puppy with his IACC dog.
