I feed Primal right now, but I have fed NV before too. I too have heard S&C is great, and Bravo as well . I agree...it isn't cheap. One day though, I actually compared the cost of raw to high-end kibble and while the kibble was cheaper, of course, it wasn't as much as a savings as I'd have thought. So, then I felt better .

I agree. Some dogs, for whatever reasons, are on a vegetarian diet and do fabulous - as long as they are getting the right nutrients/balance. While dogs might be designed to digest proteins most efficiently and grains less efficiently, they can still thrive on various diets.

Humans aren't designed to smoke cigarettes, yet some smokers live to be over a 100yrs old and claim to have have great health. My point is, a body can thrive under lots of variable circumstances. It's no different for dogs.
