Chuck,
You are right; Purina (Nestle) is the only major brand of dog food Mfg keeps over 100+ dogs of all breed on site for study and research on canine health and nutrition. They don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk.
Brent,
I like the idea of fresh, home-made dog food but that is not realistic if one have cook for 15 ~20 dogs day in and day out, not to mention if we are on hunting trips.
However, I do offer lightly boiled pork spine twice /week as calcium supplements, I also find it improves their dental hygiene. I like to do more, but that’s about as close to home made as I get.
Daryl,
As a FYI, Diamond dog food is involved in every major dog food recall in the last decade; the latestet one being as recent as May/07, your vet’s nutritional advisory is questionable.
