Whew! Just read the entire thread. Some of you are downright scary, lol. First, Ashley is amazing and I was thrilled to have her join us as I learned so much from her discussion on nutrition which is what she came here to discuss. I will admit I felt a little uncomfortable when she would not directly answer a few of the questions but did not judge her because she was not here to answer those questions and she did link us to the people who could. She was here to talk about the nutrition and science behind the food which she did in a very clear and understandable fashion. I for one loved and needed the analogies. My brain does not like science or math.
Second, I am grateful to learn from this thread that we are a widely diverse group of individuals and not a bunch of Stepford Wives just spouting the party line. There are huge differences of opinion and as far as I can see everyone feels very comfortable sharing their opinions. I love that. Some people got downright nasty which I also loved because now I know who to avoid in the future and who to take with a grain of salt. It is all good.
Having said all that, I feed my puppy Royal Canin because my breeder started her on it and she is doing fabulous on it. See no reason to mess with what is working. I will always listen to everyone's opinions but in the end I have to make my own decisions and own those consequences. Thank you to everyone for contributing to this very educational thread. |
