I’m not Rachael Ray’s biggest fan, but I do watch “30-Minute Meals” on occasion and and tuned in a few months ago to her program about healthy diets for pets. Her love for her pit bull, Isaboo, is undeniable; I really identify with her on that

Earlier this week, I read a news article about the latest brand extension in the Rachael Ray empire: Nutrish, a dog food made with “simple, natural ingredients”. The site says that proceeds from the sale of Nutrish go to Rachael’s animal charity.

I like the charity aspect of the brand but saw a lot of unpronounceable ingredients listed on the label. Personally, I like Wenaewe, an organic dog food that is carried by Fresh Direct in New York. I bought it because it looked like good, healthy stuff, but what cinched the deal for me was seeing Lola and Sammy Sanchez gobble up the kibble on its own completely dry.
