Feed your dog a diet of nothing but rats and you will have a much healthier dog. In fact hamburger would probably be OK and IMO better than dry dog food. But they need the organ meat, eyes, brain to give complete nutrition. They are carnivores and in the wild might eat some berries but essentially they are meat eaters, not grain eaters.Nah, haven’t tried it, just a hunch.
I’ll experiment with it and give my dogs only hamburgers and the kids I’m babysitting only ice cream at the same time.
They’re all gonna thrive for sure.
Humans have designed foods that are specifically meant to get us to eat them in excess. So they put sugar and fat's together or refined starch and salt and fat with tested flavoring and kids and adults eat those in preference to healthy food.
My husband and I used to dumpster dive for our chickens years ago. Some of the bread products were sweetened and our chickens didn't like them.
Our chickens like greens. In the spring I let a wild green called lambs quarters grow in the garden. I pull them up and put them in the chicken yard weighted under stone. They go crazy over them. But there is a point where if I put enough out they stop and leave some uneaten.
I read one site that said sprouts were treats and should only be fed 1 or 2 times a month. No....sprouts are enhanced grain and should be fed in preference to grain (or pulverized grain in pellets and crumbles) if you can manage that much sprouting.
Chicken treats are the good food chickens crave because in order to save money we feed them inferior food.
