But now thinking back, that's probably why he was so fat.
Have anyone used Orijen before? It's quite expensive but it's so worth it. My puppy is 3 months old and I want to slowly transition her to the new puppy food. She doesn't eat much of the IAMs anyways. Currently, I'm using my mini-food processor to give her steamed broccoli and carrots with her IAM food. |
Dogs don't feel the same way about their "cage" as humans do. Joey has a cage or kennel, and he goes into it on his own, and he loves it. There are many reasons not to choose a food, but saying the reason you don't like a particular food is because it was tested on caged animals isn't a valid reason. How should they test? Leave the animals in the same room together where some might attack another animal? Put the dogs in people's homes, where they have no control on the food given? Experiments have to be carefully controlled, and monitored humanely, but there is nothing wrong with caging dogs. Too many people don't like any experimenting at all, and this means that our pets are the guinea pigs. Don't forget, PETA doesn't believe that you should have a pet at all.
