Oh no not at all! She was not used to it is all, wolfed her food an water, I have NO issues with ppl that feed kibble there are some wonderful ones out there.

Simply that this dog never had it, and it was tragic for her, please don't misinterpret it as a slam against kibble! I prefer RAW, but I know there are many very good diets available also!

I don't know about extruded foods for dogs, but I did lose a foal becase of extruded horse feed.

ANOTHER REASON I am afraid to send Zubin out when Galina does her litter.. He has been fed raw his whole life.. Even the one day they dont out of months- its like half feeding and GROUND AND SOAKED!
If I had to feed kibble for any length of time, it would be bil jac- its instant mush, not extruded with organ. ( but I dont have that problem...)

I am still waiting to hear what is so bad about colgate? They have been making dog for since 1940.

I was waiting too so I had to go back and look again and found someone that answered it.

LOL...I don't think it has anything to do with there being anything wrong with colgate but colgate is a toothpaste company and we are talking dogfood. Usually when you have a company branching off in a hundred different direction that means the quality of the porduct drops. JMO

But this responce is not from the person that the question was directed to.

Colgate is just like any other major company.

They branch off into other areas to expand their profits and stability. They don't just decide, "Hey, let's make XYZ", they normally buy another company that is already making it, and change the corporate structure to suit their internal goals (unless it is a truly new and unique product).

They are no different than any other conglomerate, and lowering quality standards would be ridiculous, as it would destroy the customer base of the company they acquired.

I would tend to agree there LH, I do know several petfoods are owned by Nestle, and IMO that is a brand name I do trust, I don't know how good bad or indifferent the food is that they produce as I have no personal experience with it at all.

I would expect it to live up to my preconcieved expectation of their parent company (Nestle)though, which I find very good.
