I don't feed raw, but I don't tell anyone that they "maybe" should not unless they try to shove it down my throat as the only way to feed. What I will continue to do is to back reputable dog food companies especially those that I use for my pups. Giving reasons why I feed these foods is not the same thing as saying it is what everyone else should feed! Not sure why people are getting that from this thread.
This thread was not, imho, started to get input about different foods; but it has given opinions that were directly against what the OP had posted. That IS telling both sides.  Seems that when we don't agree with an OP and we use valid sources, we are viewed as not being open to other ways of feeding. I personally use a variety of foods/methods so I DO know there are many ways to feed. I home cook, use RX foods, use canned foods and use kibble. And I use Hill's, Purina and Royal Canin. They are companies that have earned my trust. I don't personally care what anyone feeds their pups ... and only get vocal when there is a suggestion that I am poisoning my pups. Such rhetoric is highly offensive to me. |
This is absolutely true. If we started a thread about the perils of raw food, we'd be stoned with words! I am not going to stop encouraging people to use valid sources of information. I'm not going to sit back while people keep bashing the only companies actually doing any research. The irony is that I am not even a 100% of the time dog food user! I use about 2% of kibble in an otherwise home cooked diet setup. Yet I feel strongly that people be correctly informed about this topic. I don't understand why this continually creates ridiculous drama. To those people who have a problem with my disagreement with Dog food advisor or lay people like this blogger, please know that I have a well reasoned and I believe correct basis to my view that they are not valid sources. Stop arguing back and exercising soft censorship tactics. My opinion is my opinion and you don't have to be defensive about your choices that are something else. Just let it be. No I don't agree with your choice of dog food. I don't even like dog food. But what I like is science, research, training and credentials. Those things are levels of comfort that I believe necessary to product development and quality control. I wish all dog food companies would step up in this area and I could alter my opinion. But I can't because they haven't. Be mad at them not us.
