anyway, dogs should not be eating dog food. it's ****. my dog used to push her bowl around the kitchen, she never wanted to eat it.
we supplement her food with vitamins and "ultimate meal" [look it up on amazon].
almost anything can be better than dog food for dogs... |
Thanks for your reply, I hope your dog will do a lot better on the natural diet. You're right about the corn, I actually saw a documentary about how corn is so subsidized by the American gov., that we produce a lot more than we need, so corn ends up in pet food, sodas (HFCS), and many processed foods.
I just remembered something that I thought was quite ironic. I took my cat to the vet a few weeks ago cuz he is starting to show a belly. He's only 10 pounds, but the vet told me to keep him on a diet, hence this thread and me trying to feed him better. Well, the vet also told me she has a cat that's obese, over 20 pounds, but seemingly healthy otherwise. I just thought a vet of all people should know how to feed their cat so they don't get to be obese...
