Only serve your dog
the food you are
willing to eat!
Probably one of the most controversial and hottest topics on the
Internet today. You may encounter what appears to be old and
outdated information. However know that an overall education is to
inform (collect information), one needs to look from every angle. Thus,
an educated person can make intelligent decisions about dog food
and nutritional needs of their dog's.

It starts with you, your community, local, state and federal
governments, world governments, local retailers to distributors to the
manufactures, the we all have a hand in what we feed our dogs.

Being the Internet, everyday we receive alerts and the messages of
the legends, here says and the little chicken running with it's head off.
We hear of people that change their dog's food once a week for lack
of solid knowledge.

If you have a weak stomach, some of these linked pages will then
make you sick and some will make you mad and upset.

If you can pronounce
ALL the ingredients,
it's most likely a
healthy, real food!
You are what you eat
and the health of your
dog depends on you. If
you feed crap, expect
crap at one end or the
other!
Remember most,
that cheap always
comes back to bite
you in the wallet!

your vet, ask why they
ONLY carry one brand
of dog food.
