I think it good to share our experiences with foods. If Joey ever becomes allergic to his food, I'll be scouring the diet section for foods other people are happy with. I chose my food originally because lots of people here said that their dogs did well on it. If your happy with a food and your dog has been doing well on it, I think it’s good that you tell others who inquire about a product. The problems I see, is that many people recommend a product, when they haven’t even been using it that long, I mean, I’ve read about people raving about some new food after using it for a week, and how the hair is so much silkier, etc. and that doesn’t even make sense! I also think another problem is telling someone that their food is “garbage”. Whether it an inexpensive grocery store brand, raw, or anything else, we shouldn’t call someone else’s choice “garbage”. We use to have lots of food snobs who insinuated that if you’re not feeding xyz, you don’t love your dog. This isn’t happening so much, and I think it’s great. I use RC, but I’ve always hated to tell anyone about it, even when people wrote a thread and asked if people were using it, I knew I’d get so much criticism for using it. I think I should be able to tell someone Joey’s doing great on it, without all the backlash. I'm still kind of ticked at myself for trying a "higher rated" food and having all those eye tearing problems with Joey, and that took a long time to completely eliminate! I would have never even tried the food if I hadn't read a hundred times how crappy RC was. Then I found out most people giving advice hadn't had any nutrition classes! So I’m much more careful now, where I get my advice, but lol, I still wish RC had 5 stars!
