I also know if I were to take a tour of a meat packing company I would be a vegetarian. Not to mention growth hormones, E coli, salmonella, recalled meat, deaths... Perhaps I am being naive but why can't there be companies making dog food from meat that isn't diseased or covered in rancid fat? Did you ever notice how many threads there are of people changing their dog's food to one (or several) of the better foods but the dog won't eat it? Jmo, but I do believe it is because the company does not spray it full of junk just to make it taste better. Kind of like getting your kid to eat carrots over french fries. I don't think there is any dog food that is wonderful for our pets but until I'm shown otherwise I will continue to believe the claims of the companies I trust. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

| Before the recall I started all of mine back to Timberwolf,Bison. I feed 3 pups Joey,2, Boomer,10 and Ally 12+ all the same food and I find they do not need to have any moist added for them to eat it.

| I am really trying to get things together to start cooking for my two. Teddy and my Golden. I made them a pot of food tonight and it was a great success in that they just loved it. My biggest concern is that they get everthing they need while eating my home cooking. I don't want to miss some important ingredient. I started with 5 chicken thighs boiled and then removed from the bone. (They did have the skin but I removed it after boiling and skimmed the fat from the top of the pot.) Then I added brown rice, green beans, shredded carrot and rolled oats. let it simmer until it was thick almost like a canned food consistancy. Put some in thier bowls, let cool and added missing link. The kids were haaaapy and gobbled it all up. So, any of you who know what your doing in the cooking for your babies tell me what you think of my mixture and if I sholuld have done something differently or added something they need that I left out. I really hope I can figure out how to cook for them economically and get rid of the bagged stuff all together. Kim

perhaps call for a consult with a doggie nutrionalist or ask your regular vet if they can find out for you. they would know best what ingredients your pet needs. i'm not sure how it is with dogs but i know that some people who cook for their cats really end up making a mess of things because they didn't know that cats absolutely need taurine in their diets, among other things, and their cooking did more bad then good.

I've only tried samples of it but I've heard it's pretty good. I just don't like the thought of only being able to get it online.. | |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i got a sample of flint river and morgan refused to eat it. the pieces are larger and flat so i had to break them up a bit before she could even attempt to refuse it. it sounds like a good food tho.
