Fellow dog owners - what food do you feed?

quick google search pulled that up.
The key though, if you actually end up reading it, is that dogs have evolved to SURVIVE on a diet including other things besides meat. Not live, not thrive, not do well but survive. You could feed a dog table scraps it's whole life, and it would get a couple years worth of life. Not a good life, mind you, but it would survive.

They're carnivores by the way.

Wow you guys just love to attack people don't you? Jackie literally just joined and she's already getting bashed. She was just giving her opinion on the subject as Everyone else has. Everyone else has said do this and don't do that so don't reprimand her for doing the same exact thing. It's not like she's not educated on the matter, she's a veterinary assistant so maybe she knows a thing or two. Maybe she's wrong and maybe she is right but that doesn't give any of your the authority to attack a new member. No one who has posted has the 100% correct answer. Everyone is giving their opinion and what they have experienced and researched so the op will have to go through all of these post and figure out what they want to do with their new puppy. I love all of you guys and think all of you are wonderful people but I just don't like seeing people be mean to others especially when they are brand new to forum. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and an even better season!!

Well ball pythons aren't carnivores so that would work!

Why is there no laugh button?

I don't see bashing going on. Or being mean. Just because we disagree on what someone says doesn't mean that we are bashing.

When somebody says something like this:

Just please stay away from raw diets!

She needs to be put in her place. Especially if she is a vet tech. Because any person who attends vet school should know that dogs did not evolve to what they are today because of cooked food or commercially packaged kibbles.

Jackie, as a fellow Veterinary Professional, I would advise you to stay out of this argument. People have their own views, and if they would like to stay with them we can do nothing to force them. It is a sad fact that people would rather go against the advice of knowledgeable people because they are "part of the establishment", etc. it will be pointless to force them to change.

Im totally with you, but you can't win this argument...Ive tried and failed many times

You're in school. You're not licensed, which basically means you're no different than the rest of us. You can't be a professional when you aren't one at all, I'm sorry about that.

No, she's *not* educated on the matter. Vet-tech does NOT equal dog nutritionist.

[Mike41793]

Meph have you ever seen and played with a dog in person thats on a proper raw diet? Like i said, i visited pookies dogs in person, i've never seen a dog on purina or kibbles as solid and healthy as them.

[Anya]

Heck, I've seen what a decent, grain-free kibble does for a cat. I had a cat extremely allergic to grain...switched him over and not only did his allergies clear up, he positively GLOWED and thrived after just a few short weeks. It was an amazing transformation. I was a believer, lol.

[AlexisFitzy]

Well I'm going to politely remove myself from this conversation/debate/argument or whatever you would like to call this. I just jumped back in to try and defend a new member. I hope everyone has a wonderful day
