I spent countless of hours, money, and time on finding the "IT" food for my dogs. What I ended up with was..sick and picky dogs, and being broke.  I did eventually find a food that worked and for the last few weeks my dogs have transformed into totally new dogs. I will not never listen to anyone again about how bad the food is that Im feeding. I know what works for MY dogs and I dont care what anyone else thinks about it.. 
Everyone needs to do their own research and decide for themselves and thier dogs what works for them.
Telling someone the food that they are feeding is "crap" imo is rude and uncalled for. Just because your dog "looked at you funny" and you interpeted as she was telling you it was "crap" deosnt means that the food isnt good. I dont agree with feeding homecooked, raw or high protien diets but I dont tell people they are feeding thier dog "crap".
I will get off my soapbox now.. can you tell this is a touchy subject for me.. |
The Op didn't say that this food was crap! She said her baby looked at it like it was crap. BIG difference.
But I don't mind stating the fact that most commercial dog foods are crap. There are some quality ones out there but lets be realistic. The bad ones (the crap) have been the norm for most of the pet food marketing for many years and it took horrible events to bring about some change, but still people shouldn't be fooled by all the change that is claimed, because too many bad companies make some of what people consider to be superior foods
Big businesses are sneaky!
But there are companies that do make quality pet food.
So it's really about convenience.
Homecooking pet owners have figured out that the convenience is not worth the expense of not knowing exactly what their furbabies are eating. We fit the preparation into our busy schedules and find it rewarding. It's not hard and it just takes approximately 2 hours out of one month (depending on how many meal choices you want
) and that's NOT an inconvenience to us.
IMO each pet owner has to make their own choice for what works for them. But I will say this...if you are finding that your Yorkie baby is not liking kibble or having problems with eating and you are getting frustrated...consider researching homecooking! Changing to it WILL NOT make your baby a spoiled brat and IMO those who think so are just not well informed of the benefits.
