[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that people would feed their dogs something with peas or potatoes as the first ingredient is insane to me.  I get that not everyone can afford or manage a raw or all meat type diet like what a true carnivore canine would eat.

Don't feed a dog like you'd feed a vegan human.

All commercial dog food is a blend of meat and starch. Nobody is saying that grain-free means vegan. It's more like a paleo diet which doesn't allow for processed grain. In this case, though, why mess with what has been working for decades? Purina got it right with their original Dog Chow.[/quote]

People like to trash talk including corn in dog food but that extra bulk makes my dog's digestion so much calmer.  We've tried a few different "Grain Free" foods over the years (for months on each one to give him time to adjust) and it's always a mess with lots of bathroom emergencies and accidents, etc.  "Crappy" or "cheap" dog food with corn in the ingredients?  Two solid predictable poops a day with no softness or mucus or other issues and no middle of the night emergency bathroom trips.  [/quote]
