Because I love my pets and consider them family. Only the best. [/quote]

If it comforts you to think this go ahead and do it.[/quote]

Don’t be daft. There are dozens of veterinarians who promote raw diet and feed their own dogs raw. It also happens to be the way most dogs were fed before the advent of the industrialized commercial pet food industry. Or at least they were fed a balanced diet of home cooked human grade food.

But they also died young back then, and it was the whole reason vets invented modern dog food formulas.    [/quote]

I believe modern dog food was invented during one of the wars to make it more convenient to feed the army dogs. Before that dogs were fed dinner scraps and bones, obviously some were fed better than others and so some lived longer. Kibble is convenient and will keep your dog alive, some kibbles better than others, but it is in no way the best thing you can be feeding your dog. I mean that's just common sense.[/quote]

Immediate pp.  Like formula for babies?  Not the " best" but formula keeps babies alive?  [/quote]

I don't think your comparison is the greatest, but breast milk is better than formula. Just like less processed human grade food is better than kibble for your dog. Formula will keep a baby alive and they will thrive, but no it doesn't have all the health benefits that breast milk has. The other issue with kibble are lax FDA regulations. Hundreds of dogs have died from pure negligence and these companies go unpunished. The quality of ingredients going into some of these kibbles is terrifying. I mean there was a huge recall because dogs were dying from high levels of euthanasia drugs found in the ingredients in their kibble. Also, look at some of the listed ingredients in these kibbles. How can you say corn gluten is healthy everyday for every meal? [/quote]
