We may have gone a month or two but then old issues always reared their ugly head.. and we were back a square one.

Bottom line, every dog will thrive on something different, and there is more so much more to dog nutrition then what the back of the bag says.

I Home cook for Taycie, for medical reasons. I did a Consultation with BCVN. There is not much out there on the market that she will thrive on. If I went with the recommendations listed on a certain website it would do so much more harm then good.

Bottom line.. For me.. if I was able to feed Taycie Over the counter dog food these would be the questions I would be asking:

My main questions would be:
1.Quality Control/procedures of the company.
2. Testing. Who formulates these diets? Are they tested? I don't want my dog to be the guinea pig.
3. Who is creating these Recipes? What do they test these recipes for?
4. Who Formulates the recipes? Do they have a Nutritionist on staff?

If I was to feed dog food.. that's what I would be researching for. And.. I pay to ask the true experts.
