Dry Dog
Is Dry Dog Food a superior food, or is a natural wild dog’s diet(bones,meat,offal, etc) the best option?
I know some people who feed their dogs dry almost exclusively.
Dry food is processed and man made (which is a big worry).
I have read in some alternative publications that there is too much protein which is incomplete and indigestible and that high calcium is a problem.
It has also been suggested that despite the claims that it is a teeth cleaner tartar still forms on dog’s teeth from using it.
High amounts of cheap grain are also added which is not a natural part of a dog’s diet according to some.
So is the truth out there somewhere?
Unfortunately American Vets and Commercial Food Companies have tight links. Just as Medical practitioners and Drug Companies are in bed with each other. A sort of symbiotic relationship I suppose
So I am a little suspicious of their opinions and motives
I just read some vets get a 40% cut for recommending certain CDFs
Natural diet. This nonsense that dogs have “evolved out of eating like wolves”? Neat trick since kibble hasn’t even existed more than 100 years. Same with the silliness about dogs being omnivores. Dogs are biological carnivores — the fact that they can survive on non-meat doesn’t change that. My cats like to eat grass and cantaloupe, but I don’t hear anyone ever trying to argue that cats are omnivores. And once off kibble, dogs digest up bones quite nicely. I have to laugh at the guy who thinks that “wolves don’t eat the bones”. It’s only cooked bones that are indigestible.
Dogs don’t need grain, rice, or vegetables which comprise a major part of kibble. Says so right in Merck veterinary manual. Course, the dog food companies subsidize veterinary nutritional education, so many vets seem to skip over that part.
A great one-stop shop for more information is:

I know too many Sick Dogs that have made complete turn arounds on raw diet to doubt it. I have personally had two dogs that had serious health problems which resolved only after I got them off kibble. I finally got the hint.
Ultimately, you’ve got to feed what’s right for you and your dog, but it’s worth it to do your research. I’ve tried expensive kibble after expensive kibble, and while they are hands down better than cheap kibble, it’s still… kibble.
