My mother's dogs lived to be old and grey and reached their peak too. All these dogs were fed about 1/2 commercial food and the rest table scraps.

Yorkiedaze,

You're probably right. Back in the day many people fed their dogs about anything and faired well as for years lived. I've seen the results of by-product filled foods as the poop is bigger and more volume whereas good food seems to be used in the body more.

Lovetodream88,

Lately my babies have been fed Purina Little Bites Total Care Nutrition. It's one of the cheapest($) commercial foods I've seen. About Beniful, I'm going to look up Little Bites to see what type of feedback I can find on the net. As for the ham and the pancreatitis comment, thanks for letting me know. I never heard that before. As for the pee, I've noticed the same on one of my baby boys, but his hair is long after the winter and needs a trim. I think perhaps if the hair were short, I may not even notice, so am not sure it's a result of the Purina.

====================

Y'all a big THANK YOU! for your replies.

Matthias

I have to ask why would you want to continue feeding Purina when you know there not trust worthy?
