Welcome to the forum of dog food threads, where the topic will always be started as which food is better, and immediately drift into being Raw is good and most dog foods are bad. You can see it in this thread. The original question was: Is dog food Brand-A better than dog food Brand-B? The answer should have been: Are your dogs healthy on their current brand? If so then why bother switching?Originally Posted by flaxseedoil1000
You have already encountered some of the religion in the form of fillers, and the evils of corn. If you point out your dogs are perfectly healthy on dog food, the counter will come that you can't tell by looking. Yes that has been said. Apparently not even a Vet can tell.Another good one you'll hear is that there are preservatives in commercial dog food that will later slow down feces breakdown. Sort of interesting how there could be that much preservative in the feces, and yet the intestinal flora didn't get wiped out as it came down the alimenrary tract? Yet another is that commercial dog foods are lacking in Vitamins or some other nutrient. Now why would a manufacturer dog (or human) food take the expense of adding Vitamins that were going to be heat degraded? Not good for profit margins? Naaa- logic can not hold against religion. My two present dogs have apparently been lacking for 3 yrs, and the previous one lacking for 11 yrs.
Then there is the stand by horrors of dog food plants and what goes into the food.
If you're on the East Coast somewhere you might want to look into the (horrors) of the dog food I feed mine. It tends to be cheaper than the name brands (approx. 30%), and I've yet to see a visiting dog refuse to eat it. Might save you a few pennies in your rescue operation. About 2.5 cups per day is what I give mine (60+ lbs, 70+lb dogs).
