Totally agree with this. You'll never be able to please everyone.

Jackson also never vomits or has gas, or diarrhea, his hair has been super shiny since getting him back on grainfree in particular, and his teeth and breath are also good. Also no itchies or eye tearing, and LOTS of energy and an amazing body, if I do say so myself.
For most of his adult life, he's been on Acana and after a few months of trying lower protein/grain inclusive foods, putting him back on Acana, I could definitely see the difference just after two bags of being back on it. So he's basically eaten grain-free for all of his life and he's been a very healthy, active dog. One bout of a throw-up session/overnight hospital stay after a lot of bad fatty human foods, but it had nothing to do with his dog food.
Bottom line is that Joey looks fantastic (and I'm not just saying that! lol, Joey is a very very pretty, erm, handsome
man) and so does Jackson - different foods work differently for different dogs. There are so many factors besides food when it comes to a dogs health (i.e. genetics, exercise, etc) so it's impossible to truly say one dog is healthier because he ate x food while the other dog is more unhealthy due to eating y food.
It's a matter of doing your own research, finding what works best for you and your dog and doing what you believe is right. We all love our dogs and want the best for them. I will always continuously fill my mind with new information, new opinions. That's science for you; always changing.
