It made me cringe and then annoyed knowing as we all do on here what a load of crap pedigree food is.
I'm sure that a lot of the "general public!" think it is good food due to the brand Name and clever marketing etc.
When I saw the start of it I really thought it was an advert for one of the animal charities - shame on them for trying to pull on people's heart strings and put them on a guilt trip to flog their low quality ingredients dog food by implying that their food is the best start for a rescue dog. "For rescue dogs like Mojo, the right nutrition is the first step to a Brighter Future."
Now I'm not knocking their support for Rescues and it's great they are donating food to rescue dogs but somehow this ad really leaves a bad taste.....for me.

            I was nearly in tears watching the first bit, it really upset me. I burst out laughing when I realised it was an advert for Pedigree Chum!
I thought it was really cheeky of them too, don't Arden Grange supply the RSPCA? I'm not sure if that's all RSPCA centres, or just the one I was looking at recently though.Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j
If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!0 - 
            They should be prosecuted under the trades description act for claiming it's a good food. Good that they're pushing rescues but they're only doing it to make more money, everyone go awe what a good caring company lets go and buy some of the [STRIKE]crap[/STRIKE] stuff they sell and we'll be feeding all these poor dogs that no one wants, pass the sick bucket please.0

Yes that's the crux of what I was trying to say!"Things can only get better.................c/o D:Ream #The 90's

            I can't stand that advert. The wording in the first bit always makes me feel like they're saying it's the dogs fault that he was treated that way.0
