I listen to talk radio while im driving and i hear alot of ads on ruffgreens and dinovite etc. I love my dogs but i just cant wrap my head around much of anything that makes sense in the dog food world.
If my dogs were allowed to be themselves without my help, i think they would hunt small game, and eat whatever dead stuff they could find.
I see people buying either the cheapest cheapo dry dog food, and i see people buying cases of canned dog food. And i know some people cook for their dogs. I think on Bob and Tom i heard where Tom feeds his green beans.
Also im curious about tapwater. For those of us that do not drink their own tapwater do you give it to your dogs? If you wont drink it..why do you give it to them?
I personally feed mine mostly chicken.. and occasionally hamburger. I feel as if those are things that would likely happen in nature. I cook it though... whereas they would eat it raw or rotten.. i guess i never really feel good about giving them raw meat. I buy gallons of distilled water.. even though they would drink out of a mudhole. I do see them eating grass on rare occasions.. my thoughts are that its how they deal with constipation...not for lack of nutrients but i could be wrong.
Obviously humans have had dogs as companions for many years...way way before dog food was invented..im guessing that they fed theirs wild game? Did they cook the meat or give them the carcass raw?
So what do you do? Boutique dog foods? Ol' Roy? Supplements? Cook for them? Why not raw meat? Do they need greens or grains?
My personal take is that if i was a dog that only got Ol Roy and tap water...ruffgreens and dinovite would taste great..and i would probably be happier and healthier. As the ads state.
