I don't let the dog food issues drive me crazy -- my dogs eat a commercial dry dog food (the only one I found that they will eat), and I supplement this with people food.
My dogs eat dry dog food, cheese, eggs, meat, chicken, vegetables, and various other leftovers from what I have cooked for myself.
They get more of some things I mentioned above and less of others... because some are healthier than others - and too much of some things isn't good.
We're all happy and healthy at my house.
***** I don't do canned dog food because my dogs just aren't crazy about it and more is thrown away than they eat. Plus I don't like dealing with it -- the smell and all the cans, etc.
I mentioned to my vet the foods that I feed my dogs - she said that what I give them is fine. But, like I knew, not to give them too much of some things.
I often think that if I had a big dog(s) - this would be a whole different issue. But, feeding small dogs the way I do is easy and affordable.
