"Whereas Molly, she eats Eukanuba dry food [which contains meat and meat-by-products], and the Eukanuba canned chicken chunks."

Knowing what can go in to "meat by-products" I make sure NOT to feed any to my dogs. I used to until I learned more what was allowed when it falls under that title. So, now I only pick foods that have no by-products. Here is a link to some of the quality pet food sites and you can look through to find one that meets your needs. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...e-samples.html There are plenty of seafood and even vegetarian foods. Just be careful to make sure you are getting enough protein % tfor a healthy dog.

I fully understand your feeling the need to feed your dog more on your own beliefs. I think you can come pretty close. I would definately lose the Eukanuba.

A couple of articles that explain why I do not feed meat by-products to my pets follow. They are graphic and may make you ill since meat by-products can include euthanized pets among many other sources....

Where Do Euthanized Animals Go
Pet Food Ingredients By-Product Meal, Meat and Bone Meal, Animal Fat…what’s in there?
