Most of us intend to give our pets decent food, whether we buy an expensive or a cheap brand.

Several years back when there was that scandal with the dog food that was made in China that was killing the dogs, I recall a friend of mine telling me that she'd bought some of it for her dog, opened it and thought it smelled nasty, but gave him some anyway. He got sick, she threw out the food and went back to what she'd been feeding him before.
