Ive had dogs all my life and I dont ever remember any of them having life threatening or even remotely dangerous problems or diseases from eating regular dog food that you buy from a grocery store. I think that right now the fad is to buy all the natural stuff because its proven right now to be the best thing. Unfortunately not everyone can afford the best thing on the market. I, for one, feed my dog Purina Puppy Chow. It might not be the best thing for her, but its not going to hurt her at all and its what the breeder was giving her. I free feed her and she eats it and likes it fine. I am thinking about switching her to Iams though because I think thats a step up from Purina and our last dog was on Iams and did fine with it. Unfortunately, there is no store in my area that sells anything but what is sold at Walmart or Safeway so I have to buy in bulk when I go to Reno and havent been since getting my puppy. I dont buy the best of the best in everything I buy for my family and we seem to survive. Aside from feeding my puppy whats apparently the worst foods out there, I think the middle of the road brands are fine. But what do I know, really? |
