Ok, so when i had my doggie, the majority of his life we fed him chicken and rice, or some protein variation with rice. We made it, cooked the chicken, made chicken broth and used it to cook the rice in, had some veggies in it, peas carrots etc. He loved it and was healthy. I would take him to the vet and he would ask what i was feeding him, since he had a great coat, gleeming eyes, perfect health. Later on we switched him to prepared food. He still did well but i can't help to think that it wasn't as good for him. As i am looking for a dog, I was wondering what food brands out there are the best. Time is an issue so not sure if i will be able to always be able to cook his food. I figure I could use a combination. during the week he gets prepped food, weekends he gets cooked food. Not sure if this is wise though. Thoughts?
