My own opinion as to why dogs don't live longer in spite of getting a better diet is that the typical modern dog is being over-vaccinated and being bombarded monthly with flea and heartworm preventatives. It is a constant toxic attack on the dog's whole system that contributes to premature organ failure and cancer
yes! woogie man i agree ...
in days gone by dogs ate alpo and that was beef stew good enough for seniors to eat cause the price was 20cents cheaper than the people one .but the same ingredients.. meat chunks, potatoes, carrot cubes, peas in gravy ..dogs lived up to 17 20 years then too...
FUNNY who decided that kibble was good for dogs... PRODUCT COMPANIES WHICH THE VETS PROMOTE BECAUSE mOST OF THEM KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NUTIRENTS..
I have asked 5 different vets what would be good nutrients for my dogs diet and VOILA! they show u a bag of food they have on the shelf there..that is all they have learned over all these years..now that is progress 4 U..
how would u like to eat cornflakes out of a box the rest of ur life cause they have everything u need in them?
