And not to be rude, but obviously the manufacturer of this food would have a problem with a raw diet - why credit something that could potentially hinder her product sales? |
Totally agree.

Every bit of this is addressed in the links in my post. Dogfoodanalysis.com drills it into peoples heads that there must be 2 meat sources in the top 5 ingredients and that beet pulp is bad. Please review the links in my previous post to hear the truth about this. Dr Jane's goal to make the most nutritious pet food she possibly can. I challenge you to prove there is a safer pet food available in the USA.

I do not blindly follow one website, btw. It is not just dogfoodanalysis that states these facts. I *have* done my research. I just don't see how anyone could prove that a dog eating higher meat content is a
bad thing. I really truly don't know how safe your pet food is, nor any pet food for that matter. A lot of pet food companies blantanly lie. But generally speaking, the only food I would consider feeding or trusting right now is Champion Pet Foods, Acana and Orijen. They have an amazing video on their website showing exactly where their food is made and processed, all free range animals, they explain the entire process. My dog eats better than I do!
Sad story. Oh, and
Dogs are taxonomically the same species as wolves, and physiologically and anatomically the same and actually share 99.8% of the same DNA. Size and appearance are in the less than .2% differences (thanks to Princess Diana for that information), therefore I like to feed a food that is 'close' to what the wolves eat in the wild (ok, we know wolves aren't getting served kibble in a bowl... but it's the closest you can get, IMO, with the convenience of kibble). I'm actually not even 100% against grains, I will feed treats and occasionally wet food with 'good' and minimal grains in it. I just don't believe they have any real benefit to our carnivores, but I don't think some of them will necessarily hurt or be bad for them, either.
Anyways, it's just
my personal preference to feed grain free, low carb, meat protein rich foods. Ultimately, though, I think it's what works best for you and your dog.
I've done alot of research and have finally settled that this works best for Jackson! Again, I don't believe LA is a bad food by any means. And if it worked for my dog, I would obviously continue feeding it and be happy with it. I just don't think it should be such a black or white statement that LA is "the best" and "only" dog food you can trust and feed (you challenging me to find a safer food). That's just simply not the case. But of course someone who sells it is going to state this. Every dog does good on different things and while LA may not work for some, it will work for others. And that's the great thing about variety. We can choose.
