I am NOT an expert in nutrition and quite frankly have no interest in it. That is why I rely on vets and vet nutritionists to help me make choices for my pups. |
Oh yeah no absolutely. Dog food has always been a hobby of mine, something I like reading about and doing research on. I really need to just be homecooking to be happy to be honest but I admit it's out of pure laziness. So I certainly GET the appeal of commercial dog food and understand it's purpose as I utilize it myself and have spent years seemingly searching for the perfect company only to realize that duh, of course that doesn't exist.
But that wasn't really my point. I wasn't even asking you specifically. Just in general, I am genuinely curious when dogs began suddenly requiring balanced diets. I'd be interested on the history of that is all. Obviously at one point in time, dogs were not getting "balanced" diets. So I'd be curious how healthy they were and what their lifespan was.
