mine like the nutra nuggets, I was feeding nutro to Lucca and he started throwing up yellow bile, I guess it is a problem with nutro right now, he looked great on nutro but hasnt lost anything switching to nutra nuggets
My mom who is 66 and has always had a small herd of dogs at any given time, had a field day when she heard that, my mom who I have seen with my own eye's throw out a bucket of chicken bones from KFC, who buys her dog food at walmart and ihe chosen brand is any on sale, who to my knowledge only ever been to a vet if a dog needed shots, altered or pts at a ripe old age, this woman had the gall to tell me " leave them alone it wont hurt them " LMAO this woman has no idea of protien ratio's, could care less about fat content, no knowledge of cal to phos ratio's and she is giving me, a person who analyzes dog food sacks like nasa scientests read data sent back from deep space, advice
I was being funny but she did say that and thats how all of her dogs have lived, purebreeds and mutts, her care of them is so simple it is unreal yet she has no problems and the dogs live to old age I remember a great dane who was a permanant foster who was put down finally at 14, old age and nothing else. Maybe we are over thinking things, or maybe this is just how us dog owners are conditioned now days. Ask your parents or grand parents how they fed their dogs or just think back to when you were kids what did the family dog eat, pretty sure their diet included scavanged dead things,some sort of kitchen waste, horse poop if they got lucky and grass LOL
That does hit home. When we visit Valarie's parents, my boy tries his best to hit the cheap kibble hard. He loves it much more than the analyzed stuff we prepare for him. They have horses too, so he's always looking for a pile of poop to dive into. He loves that crap...literally, lol.
Here is something even better,funnier,worse .........
before the internet how many times did you.... Feed your dogs grapes
Feed your dogs corncobs
Feed your dogs rawhide
Feed your dog a piece of raw pork ( btw I gleened some info from alton brown ( good eats ) you dont have to incinerate pork because of the wives tale of getting a worm, todays pork doesnt have it )
I wonder how big of a list of todays dont do's for our pets we can gather, and how many of those were done before we were told not to, I for one have over the years given pounds of grapes to my dog, that is before the study came out, guess the nutro ultra people didnt know that because last year the food contained grapes, now it doesnt but the grapes are still pictured on the bag LMAO look at the bag next time, red grapes right on the front
Diamond Lamb and rice 40 lb bag - $19.99 80 lbs of whole chickens Raw and quartered, bone in- $45 30 lbs of raw red meat extra fatty- $30
It costs me $90 to feed 3 Large dogs, 2 times a day for 2 months... And it is 80% Raw Meat, bone in and all... Which is better for them than just a plain High end kibble diet... Maybe get some of y'alls wheels a turning. Take that into consideration when you buy Innova Evo for $45 a 35 lb bag....
If any of you has a Meijer grocery store, go into the meat department. They always have what is called the managers special... Meat that is 40% off due to being on the shelf for a few extra days... Still just as good quality, but us snobby people have our standards and such... But the dogs don't, and they thrive on it.
