I figured someone here would have the answer!

They sure don't look healthy to me..These are my opinions, which we all have...I'm not telling anyone what to feed their dogs, as I sure wouldn't want someone telling me what to feed mine..But, I do know that in 51 years, we've had 2 big dogs that have lived to be 17 and 18, and a lot of small dogs, that have lived to be almost 20..most of them were on purina, as back years ago, that was like the number one food..and the thing is, I can never remember any of them ever being sick or any kind of health problems..Well, I take that back, my golden retriever we had put down at 18(cancer), but, even people(if they live long enough), usually end up with some kind of cancer

Most of what you said above is just opinion - so I'm not even going to try to add to what MyFairLacy has already posted - because she has already covered the facts.

The statement bolded above is the one that most concerns me because it isn't true, THIS is what is correct: damaged kidneys cannot handle TOO much protein. That is a fact. Too much protein only damages kidneys if they are already damaged/compromised. If they are normal, all they do is process that which they are meant to process.

Thanks, I just went on and printed it out, for the raw. I also wanted to try the dry but they would only give me one coupon.

sign up again with a different e-mail address, and you can get another coupon I doubt a store will take two coupons at a time though so you'll probably have to use them on different days or at different stores

Great idea, signed in under my husband and his e-mail. He goes to the store that sells it all the time. He can get the dry and I'll go and get the other. Thanks!
