I've been a dog food advocate for a few years now. Unfortunately here in Iowa I get laughed at alot and told to shush because, dontcha know, Purina and pedigree are the best! Ha... My reply is usually close to, Cows eat corn, not dogs. Dogs eat cows. For the farming types my reply is more of, Ever seen a coyote eating corn with the cows? No, he's eating the sheep.
When I got my first dog Jay he was on a purina. He STUNK. His breath stunk, his coat stunk and was dry and brittle. Now that I've had him on a better food I actually enjoy smelling my dog after a month of not being bathed. Even company comments that his breath never stinks that bad and he doesn't have an odor, yet they don't get the concept that its from his food.
Although I love Natures Recipie venison meal, I'm actually going to be switching them to Wellness super5mix chicken formula. I do have to say that I wish they had a venison formula.
