Taste of the Wild Dog Food 2

seriously, you guys spend so much time researching and so much money throwing away dry food that does not do what you want or you have problems with, that it makes me laugh. just as the only true way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more and not waste money on miracle pills and gimicks, the BEST dog food is the raw diet. thats what you all are hopeing to imitate while using processed, chemical laden, preservative filled garbage and are at the same time trying to tell the world how much your dogs mean to you. if they really meant all that and you really were that concerned then you would take the time to get thru the learning curve of a raw diet. try the one from "Natures Farmacy". its easy and perfect. anyone can do it. i have 5 poodles and i have gotten my daily feeding time down to 20 minutes or less and i feed an excellent raw diet for $1.00 a pound by being a smart shopper. most people dont eat this well, but i truely do love my dogs and they are worth the extra bit of time and i actually SAVE money from what those "high quality" bags of crap cost.
today my dogs lunch consisted of canned pumpkin, frozen garden style vegitables, cubed beef and chicken necks. the neck bones are soft and give them calcium and glucosamine and they are 50 cents a pound.
so stop wondering why you cant get perfection from imperfect food.
i will challange you this. make up a bowl of raw diet food and put a bowl of dry food next to it and ask yourself which you think is the better nutrition for your dog.
then apologize to your dog for having fed them the same gross brown dry chemicals everyday for years on end.

Arent we a little pompous today? Sounds like you must know it all and be above everyone because you feed your pets raw meat? So are you a veterinary nutritionist? How 'neglectful" that someone might feed their dog Innova or whatever. That poor dog must be....it like abuse. Well I hope you really have your head on straight with raw feeding because in reality....wolves do not live longer than dogs, and salmonella is a "natural" cause of death. So is Ecoli. Not to mention the way humans process and handle foods it is much riskier than wild caught food. These days pets are actually having longer lifespans. Yes pet food is scary, and dangerous....so is raw meat. So keep your superior attitude to yourself until you have a degree in pet nutrition. Yes dogs have died from Salmonella. They do not have super stomachs. Humans have the ability to outsmart nature and disease and bacteria...its called cooking. If dogs could cook, they would...why? Beacuse it is more advanced, safer, and healthier. but good luck with the putting people down and giving advice on what to feed thing. Hope it works out well for ya.

I would say my "gross brown dry " food is better than what you just fed your animals. While we are all entitled to our opinions, I strongly disagree with yours. I assume you know nothing about nutrition given your laid out diet plan and you assume that people who do not feed their dogs "RAW"have learning curve issues. Im going to educate you on a couple of things. First of all you describe ALL dog food as "processed, chemical laden, preservative filled garbage." What would you call chicken necks and beef that is so cheap you can feed to your dogs for $1 a pound? I would assume your meat sources are not organic or free range. If you consider Smart shopping, buying your food on sale before its about to expire, then we have very different opinions on what quality is. Pumpkin is great, but what about a grain free carb source? Are your dogs not active? What about pre and probiotics to keep there tummies healthy? Parsley, oatmeal, blueberries to help with digestion? I would rather give my dogs a glucosamin/calcium supplement then have them choke on chicken necks, or better yet have it splinter and damage there throats and stomach lining. So just to recap, you are trying to make people like myself feel stupid for researching what is best for my pets, while you are giving your animals steriod and hormone injected animal parts and pesticide laden frozen vegetables? Is that not a double standard? Let us know when you start finding intestinals worms. PS my "high quality" crap, has kept my two very active dogs out of the VET, which is what I consider SAVING money and being a "smart shopper"!

Where do you get off rating a dog food down you have no experience with at all?? I applaud the two educational comments ahead of me and I hope this poster will read them and come down a peg or two!

My husband favors raw too, but we have decided to mix it with dried kibble. After all, these companies hired professionals and did research to come up with what they would deem to be 'the best'. But like people, what is best for one may not be the best for all.

Regarding the chicken neck, I agree with that, as I used it to feed my 13 dogs when I was still in my home country. I've been all around the butcher shop as far as 20 miles from my place, but never found one that sold chicken neck. Can you tell me where to get them, either in the Glendale area, Tujunga, La Crescenta or Sylmar? Would appreciate it.

Just a tad bit on the pompous side tpizur. I suppose you go out and kill the prey and then give it to your dog to tear apart and eat it? Of course not, right? That's the problem I have with raw - wolves in the wild do not go to Wal-Mart and pick out the cut of meat they are going to eat for dinner - they kill their prey live and eat it right then and there. You're still feeding your dog "processed" raw if you will, since it is processed by humans in various meat plants before your dog consumes it, which is not how dogs in the wild eat raw meat.

I'm not saying raw is bad, but please do not come here and have the nerve to say you love your dog more than those who choose kibble - that's just wrong and very mean. I had a dog from 6 weeks old and he lived to 18 YEARS old in perfect health and he never ate raw. If people choose raw great, but it is not the "raw" a dog ate in the wild by any stretch. Those that wish to feed kibble, great, just make sure it does not have by-products in it.
