It seems to me that the health professionals can't even figure out what is healthy for us humans let alone our dogs. There is so much more to consider about a dogs diet that can effect it's health. Dogs are exposed to all kinds of chemicals and toxins throughout their lifetime. Even some drinking water can cause health issues. When a dog gets sick and dies suddenly it is often hard to figure out what really caused the problem unless an autopsy is done. Often it could be a combination of things. My sister-in-law used to feed her little poodle crappy food and table scraps and the poodle lived around 23 years.
I know dog food gets recalled but so does people food. Look what happened to Blue Bell ice cream. I will still buy Blue Bell. I think the best thing we can all do is just share our experiences. Personally I like reading about what others feed and recommend. I do feel that dog food reviews are helpful but just because one dog food works well for one dog does not mean that it will work for all dogs.
