Studies and food trials show there isn’t much difference as long as your dog has a balanced diet, which means a dog food that is balanced, not table scrapes, (few snacks aren’t harmful). If you compare an A type of diet to a C type of diet there will be shown to be no impact on health on longevity, however, an F diet compared with an C or A diet will show a difference. Most dogs fed dog food, eat healthier than humans. For me it’s more about quality controls and recalls. Personally, I do think some of the lower cost dog foods might be compromising too much on certain things, but I don't think the highest cost food will insure your dog will live longer either. I feed RC and I think you wrote an excellent endorsement for it, I hope Joey and Ralphie get that long of a healthy life. |
