I feed my mutt on Nutro dry food... contains lamb and rice.

It was supplied with her as a pup and she has been eating it ever since...

There aren't many dogs locally that look as fit and healthy as Cuba so it must work.

As with all animals ... it's what works for you and the mutt.... i have friends on a farm that feed their dogs just table scraps but they look as healthy as any other dog.

Know the feeling WELL .......we have 2 chest freezers just for the dogs food.......and people that know us generally say the dogs are fed better than us ........they probably do, but wouldn't change a thing

Oh, yeah.......anyone else noticed that pet food companies like to introduce 'NEW' or 'IMPROVED' versions of their food, generally stating they've added meat or fresh meat..........hhhmmmmmm.......you thinking what I'm thinking

Many companies claim that their diets are what 'nature' intended or claim to be the complete diet.........ABSOLOUTE RUBBISH........if theirs was the complete diet etc when on earth would they need to keep coming up with the new and improved versions...........so many dogs out there with bad teeth etc from being fed crap kibble/tinned stuff............many other problems too........BUT each to their own...........there are SO MANY myths about feeding RAW which is total crap, also fear of the unknown also puts people off aswell as peers MIS-INFORMING people about the likes of BARB/RMB.....like 'ooohhh you souldn't feed chicken bones it dangerous'..........RANT OVER

Anyone wanting more onfo see United Kingdom Raw Meaty Bones Support & Action Group a great information site to introduce the commercially fed population.......also RAW feeding is NO dearer than commercial diets, actually cheaper if you know where to go

Cheers emmaj

Forgot to add a good read, which may upset some of you when you find out what actually goes into pet food, is a book called ' Food Pets Die For'.....check amazon or similar and you should get a copy pretty cheap

Canine Health Concern another VERY GOOD informative site about various topics

I totally agree with you not to mention all the additives and such in the food people wonder why their dogs are always hyper

we have three dogs, two show gordon setters that both have qualified for crufts lots and lots of times, all are fed on BARF and we wouldnt have it any other way, the meat is supplied from an organic farm that kills its own beasts, the meat is basically walkin the day before they eat it, and they do eat better than me, but i would never have it any other way!
