It is tricky isn’t it? I currently feed mine a good quality dry and wet food (lukullus) though would prefer to feed raw but OH not up for it.
Whilst I think it can in some cases be tricky to get the proportions right in raw it must be remembered that vets are paid by the big commercial dog food producers to push their foods. These are not necessarily very good for dogs. Of course I am extremely sorry for what happened to Jane’s dog.
Whilst many dogs can live to a good old age on kibble I don’t doubt it makes many dogs ill. You only need to find out more about the ingredients and the production process to realise that eating just that for years is a recipe for all sorts of health problems and cancers.
