I agree with Vela and Erica.

If you don't like the dog food threads, don't look at them. There is nothing wrong with learning more and educating. The fact that the same people continuously bash and berate these threads says more about the people than the subject. EVERYONE knows you don't like these threads; You've made it clear again and again with your not-so-subtle comments. So if you hate them so much, stop looking at them and let the people that DO enjoy them read them.

Currently I freefeed kibble and feed raw meals. The kibble I've been using changes as I find my dogs do better on some than others. Right now it's Innova EVO RM as I've found that Visa in particular does well on this. Whatever it is might be the best food in the world but not every dog will do well on it. Heck I know a dog that can't eat raw, and when I was feeding Visa only one protein source she started to get stringy pads. My dogs do best on raw and I'd feed only raw if I could but it's too expensive for me and it doesn't have enough calories to keep up my dogs' weights. I suppose that is why dogs (way back when) were so thin, no kibble to fatten them up and tons of work to do. Kibble is a lifesaver (and Nutri-Cal sometimes hehe) for keeping weight on my guys. I do love the raw though, without it my dogs do not look nearly as nice. We had the teeth-cleaning people at the shop yesterday, cleaning teeth. The lady says that the dogs with the best teeth are always the raw-fed dogs. I get Visa's teeth cleaned once every two months now that she eats alot of kibble with her raw. They get dirtier alot faster now. It's too bad, but worth what it does for her weight, Skinny Belgians are not so attractive.
Some dogs do better on lower quality foods. I think alot of this has to do with breeding. My co-breeder had some dogs that had digestive issues on high quality kibbles so she would buy store name brands and their stools would harden a bit. These dogs also did alot better on raw however. My very good friend has on dog who does poorly on low quality foods but also can't eat raw. He becomes very sick and throws up meat that has been in his system a long time and is literally rotten when it comes out. He needs to be kept on high quality kibble. My friend's bulldog is the same. The ONLY food she can is is her venison and rice kibble. Nothing else, including raw.
Every dog is different.
