| I was feeding only Natures Variety raw for over two years. I tried prey model raw for a short time but stopped. I still feel like prey model is great if done correctly, but it is so time consuming and the dogs faces got nasty. However, using prepackaged raw is very convenient. All you do is thaw it out and feed. Doesn't take that much longer than pouring out kibble and it's so much better fir your dog. Now I'm feeding homecooked and raw because I spoke with a nutritionist who felt that feeding all raw was too rich for a lot of dogs. So you still get great benefits by feeding some raw and homecooked. I would NEVER feed my dogs any kind of kibble again. There are some decent ones out there but I feel like kibble is just overcooked crap and chemixals in a bag for the most part. I'd feed high quality grain free canned over kibble. I love my dogs and want them to live long healthy lives, and if that means taking more time at feeding time so be it. I could never feed them kibble

| 2 very good articles Mars said salmonella can cause serious infections in dogs and cats and, if there is cross contamination caused by handling of the pet food, in humans also FOXNews.com - Dry Dog Food Recalled for Possible Salmonella Contamination - Pet Health | Questions | Information | Animal Health Salmonella Outbreak Tied to Dry Dog Food Continues - US News and World Report Last edited by phfgkl; 03-20-2009 at 10:03 AM. |

| Convenience. That's honestly all it is for me, though I hate to admit it. I bet raw would be even cheaper than the fru-fru grain-free kibble she gets now.

| Good nutrition is very important to living a healthy long life. Humans who eat well and take good care of themselves live longer on average than humans who do not. So of course dogs who are fed diets that are excellent are going to live longer on average as well.

| Why is it that every food threat always turn into something else. I think kibbles are fine and there are great kibbles out there. But my biggest pet peeve is that when someone gets on here and claim that some bad quality food is the best and give wrong information. And then continued to cause arguments in every thread.

| I'm sorry but that's what I truly feel it is. I don't really care what others feed their dogs. It's their dog and they and their dog are going to be the ones who live with the consequences, not me. I know I'm doing what's best for my dogs so that I'll have them with me as long as possible. I won't feed my dogs that stuff. I will recommend better brands to people because I know a lot of people are just stuck on feeding kibble but I would never feed it
