Read this- this will make you sick.. Notice all the dog foods are basically made in the same plants.. And people wonder why I feed raw and have for 19 years.. I warn you- if you dont this- this is a real shocker.. http://www.dog-spoiling-made-easy.co...gredients.html
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. :rolleyes:
ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL lol yup!
This article is old and not up to date!
Yup thats about the extent of some of those foods. And some of my co workers think I'm crazy when I tell them my grocery bill for the Collies is $250 month sometimes. I would never put anything but holistic food and raw in my Collies stomachs. Same with the treats. Ever notice most brands have the BHA and BHT in them. Yup been lookin at lables for years.
A normal days meal for my Collies is Steak (Venison or Beef) Chicken, liver and raw bones.
And for dinner 2 cups Solid Gold Hunden Flocken with Solid Gold SeaMeal Nutrients, 1/2 cup of Salmon, 1000mg Vit C, 400 IU Vit E and 1200mg Garlic.
This is a normal day for the collies. Some say they are spoiled, I say they are healthy. My Collies are Never sick.
Not up to date, no references given, a couple of pseudo science giveaways (ALMOST the same as anti-freeze).......
As I said.....

Actually the fact is those companies still use rendering plants and that is the process. The only thing that has changed is like Nutro has had two recalls since then and a few others, but the process remains..Quote:

Which is an Oven. Hopefully and I say hopefully it kills all the bacteria that gets mixed into the food.
Iams killed 3 of my dogs from unknown cancer and made my toddler daughters immune system to shut down..
I know what you are saying Majestic collies ( which by the way- they sure are!!!) .. It made me sick after the fact. That was when I went to raw.
I keep bil jac as a back up in case I loose power up on this moutain. Number one they dont use a rendering plant to process, number two you add water it turns to instant mush...
Here is my collie I had. He has since passed on but I loved him dearly. His name was Ch.Beckonridge Tri to Remember ( captain) but was to die for in appearance. I also had two more- one a white with a merle head ( charlie) , and a rescued sable..
Aww hes a cutie. He looks like my sisters Capt Jack from my litter in April. Here he is at 4 mos old.

How did dog food manage to affect your toddler daughters immune system? :confused:Quote:

She never got more than a piece or two- but thats alllllllllllll it took to shut it down. They say its safe beause they use it in caynee pepper and such with people but the fact is- you would have to eat 8 tablespoons of it every day, day after day to get the same as the dog does in their bowl...Quote:

I feel the same way. Raw would have prevented the 3 deaths of my dogs, as well as keeping my toddler safe. Those months with her on those tests, and what they were testing her for, allllllll seems like a hellish nighmare.
Caution to parents- if you have a toddler, either dont use kibble diets, or put it up unless the dog is actually eating it. My daughter went through child gates ... I had no clue, althought I didnt like it, that a food my dogs were eating would be anything other than a choking hazard for my baby.. NONE.. I mean one piece a day of a found dog kibble on the floor caused all that?? I am a beliver now..
