......First I truly believe you should feed your dog, your cat, your kids , your spouse, and yourself what ever you believe is best...throughout my 45 years owning , breeding, training, and showing....well sort of showing...I strongly believe two things...1 there are pros and cons to all methods of feeding dogs...and 2. dogs food companies' main objective is to make as much money as they can.....some companies are better than others.....I'm from the school that our dog is a carnivore, based on his mouth structure, jaw, teeth, and internal digestive system. I feed my dogs based on this belief...I have been doing this for about 7 years and I see the difference......now off to McDonald's I go!....Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
