im confused i have always heard that feeding your dog "human food" was bad for them. one of my closest friends dog got stomach cancer for that. i have always heard from vets that ekanuba and iams was the best for them.

Hi sooby707 - Welcome to Pet Talk!

You are very right, some "human foods" are VERY bady for dogs. Foods high in fats - gravy, greasy fried foods, etc - can kill a dog. The seasonings, butter, and greese we add to our foods are not good for us or our pups!
However, feeding a diet of all natural raw meats, fruits, and vegetables is completely fine, and in my opinion the best we can give our canines!

Eukanuba and Iams aren't the WORST dog foods, however there are many improvements from them. They certainly aren't the best for them.


Many veterinarians are very poorly educated on actual canine nutrition. In many cases they support and suggestive sell Eukanuba, Iams, Science Diet, etc. because those are the companies that put them thru college. You'll also notice those are the foods they sell in their offices.

If you have any questions on the raw food, or known as the B.A.R.F diet, please feel free to ask in this thread.

For breakfast my 3 had a puree of banana, eggs and yogurt. MMMM!! Tonight Grant will get his chicken quarter. Sadie and Maggie will have chicken too, but probably a drumstick or back. Last night Maggie and Sadie had turkey neck and Grant had his usual chicken quarter. I have seen tons of improvement in their teeth from this diet. I *may* have convinced my mom and aunt to start feeding their dogs this same diet.
