Wow! That is quite an assumption, I'd love to see links to some "scientific journals" where you found this information out!



As im sure you know, before commericial dog foods came along, dogs ate what we ate.. including raw meat diets. Dog foods have only been around since the 40's.. Do you really think its "just a coincidence" that there has been an increase in certain diseases ever since. Do you think its "just a coincidence" that dogs are suffering from diabetes, dental problems, and yes cancer, now more than ever. Infact 50 or so years ago..canine cancer was a rare thing.

Also..dog food fads? Explain to me what that is exactly?.. seems to me if anything, commericial dog foods are the fad diet.
