Becker says that despite the recall, most of the foods on the shelf, regardless of price, are typically safe for pets' consumption."With the sheer number of pets being fed commercial pet food, this is a very small problem so far," he says.
Science diet and Iams, 2 of the best brands are among them (OVER 100 brands).
If I have to recommend a *hurl* kibble, I go with the "Chicken Soup for the Pet lovers Soul" line.
im a proud owner of a american stafford. i feed him with hill's science Plan, its formulated with lamb and rice. He hates the food and only eats it when really hungry end of the day. i quess he s spoiled with our real food that we give him from now and then.
I've often wondered about this.Everyday, our dog gets meat of some kind (real meat, not processed shit) and dry food. Does a dog need carbs too? As carnivores, they'd survive on a protein/fat diet, but would they do as well?
Dont feed a dog too much real beef. Many dogs can develop skin problems similar to mange.
you have to know what the parents of the dog were eatin, you have to give your dog she same food. hope this helps.
Flower, do you recommend the "Chicken Soup" line over "Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance" Chicken and Brown Rice?
Most dog foods that are sold in supermarkets are crap. If the first list in the ingredients is meat- by -products don't buy it. Meat- by- products mean everything on the cow except meat. It could be anything found on the slaughterhouse floor. It is crap and you wouldn't want that shit in your house. It is not FDA approved.Only buy dogfood or catfood that list FDA approved meat as its first ingredient.
we REALLY need a pets board to stop this insanity!!!
This is true, both cat & dog food. Science, Iams, Eukanuba etc. are the best of the mid-level brands. The better ones aren't that much more money IMO, especially if bought in bulk.
Too late, my pet!Ya, the vet said to keep the meat but decrease (but not eliminate) the dry food (which is a good brand), since the dog has grown... shall we say, "plump."

Dry vs. wet is very debatable; you could probably use a reduced version of dry just as well as using meat.
Science Death, Eukapuka and Iams are NOT the best of mid-level. But you are right, you could spend a little more on a *hurl* better quaility crap-in-a-bag, or you could spend the same or even less on REAL dog food and have a healthier dog (less vet bills), smaller poops, and the dog would enjoy eating it.
kibble will NEVER compare feeding raw meat and bones. stop spewing this nonsense
Step off the soapbox and STFU; you are a vivid reminder that opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one. Hope this helps
