I've been following this thread with interest. And I'm looking out at the desert, wiaiting for the green grass to show it's face. HEY! ANy grass, green or not. Feed what you feel comfortable feeding. If it works, and the dogs are healthy, why worry. I grew up with my mom scraping the plates and the small leftovers into a big bowl or two and the dogs got a feast. Days that were short on plate scrapings, she opened a can of ?KalKan? Dumped IT in the bowl. The days we were out on one of the ranches, the dogs brought home some strange dinners of their own. All lived healthy and long lives. My son makes a big pot of broth from bones and meat of sorts, spoons it over Purina One. Both the dogs are healthy, have great coats lots of energy (Dancer will be 13 this year and does her puppy thing often enough). I give the raw meat to the dogs in the morning, feed them CostCo Brand (Kincaid) Lamb&Rice with a broth of, and chopped up, chicken livers, gizzards, hearts, sometimes beef liver at night. All the dogs are healthy, a couple turning 8 this year, great energy, great coats. And Evan, what's on the agenda next after the Raw Food/Diet Thread?
