If you want to cook longterm, I can't recommend highly enough that you consult a nutritionist to get you going. Unbalanced diets can be very dangerous to a dog's health, esp. when it comes to cal-phos ratio, which isn't easy to figure out at all. We've had entire threads, exhaustive, on just that subject here at YT...and still we were all left scratching our heads a little. Anyone remember that cal-phos thread ?

what do you feed your baby; any recommendation; is raw diet safe on sensitive stomach ; my dog has gastritis and was recently in the hospital; what do you think about Honest Kitchen food; someone recommended it
