As a person who feeds and sells raw food, I can just say this, I have NO worries that my dogs will suffer the fate of those poor animals eating contaminated food. Yes, I did feed some kibble to some of my dogs. No more. They are all on raw food. I have 10 dogs and can still get feeding time down to 30 minutes, even with special diet need dogs. And, I don't have to worry about Wheat gluten or pesticides or weird things in their food. Dogs don't really need grains but if I have a dog that needs some weight, I add millet, barley or oatmeal. No wheat or corn. I buy my grains from Whole Foods Markets and since I use them sparingly, it's not a big cost factor. There are many good companies that sell raw food products. I prefer basic ingredients with no fillers or supplements. I will add what I need. Please take a look at Oma's Pride. I am not going to benefit from referring you to them as I am just a local distributor. So, this isn't advertising, just a suggestion and an option. www.omaspride.com Laura Thomas ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
