[edit] Marketing Language

The 'Fun With Eukanuba' section is copied verbatim from http://us.eukanuba.com/eukanuba/en_US/jsp/Euk_Page.jsp?pageID=EH, and should probably be excised or paraphrased. Jonabbey 14:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I thought that looked familiar, so I rephrased it. Though, I'm not positive it warrants its own section. -- Kevin 21:47, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Recall

Does the pet food recall really need to be mentioned?

[edit] POV removed

An unregistered user (65.215.131.2) inserted a personal point of view: "Eukanuba uses only high quality ingredients and is in the forefront of research and development with many ground breaking innovations from it's start until now. Eukanuba is an animal based pet food and gives the dogs and cats everything they need."

The claims above are not cited and ingredients listed are factual as shown on the external link and can be viewed here The Best Dry Dog Food (scroll down). Noles1984 14:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Noles1984, your edits introduced arguably just as biased and unsubstantiated content as (65.216.131.2). (e.g. Of course Honda is going to say it's method of building an engine is superior to Toyota, but that doesn't mean in a Toyota article you can state "Toyota's engine is not manufactured properly" and reference a Honda source). Similarly you should refrain from referencing sites that market pet food as sources of facts regarding ingredients (Flint River Ranch) and sites with non-credentialed opinions (dogfoodproject.com, betterdogcare.com).

On a similar note, I've removed the "Best Dry Dog Food" link. Sea of popups aside, in terms of context, it's no different than linking to petco.com or any place that has Eukanuba on an arbitrary list. Though more importantly, the site is clearly biased, and the site's author is not a veterinarian.

I'm beginning to think that the whole article may need a re-write, after being manhandled by marketing types and their detractors. -- Kevin 21:47, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
