I can't see what paying $40+ a 20lb bag is so great for. I have checked all the costs and to feed my 4 dogs that stuff I'd be homelss in a very short time. It's actually cheaper for me to feed a raw diet.
I actually have started the true raw diet - meat, bone, organs. It's been a couple days and honest injun, I have already noticed a change in our older two dogs. They are both more energetic, they rush to mealtime and they EAT without turning their nose up!!!
Since I raise chickens and have a ready source there, the cost of feeding them raw won't be much more than what I'm paying a month now for dry. With the added benefit of my dogs' happiness. I dont' expect my chow to not be arthritic or the allergies to be magically cured, but if it makes him feel better than I'm all for it.
Besides, I have been lable reading for months now trying to find food that he will eat and is not full of grains and chemicals and I have not suceeded. And what exactly is Guar gum, Xanthan gum and Carageenan anyway???
These are in the "least" processed canned food I could find.
