Thank you for your reply and explanation. I can understand where you’re coming from. Somehow I feel as if I can’t ever be confident or at ease about what I’m feeding. I began changing to what was considered better quality ingredient foods in the mid 1990’s after I had a dog diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Back in the 80’s and 90’s we fed Iams and Eukanuba to our show dogs. gasp! Here in Seattle we had lectures we could attend by nutritionists that specifically studied dog nutrition. It changed the way I looked at dog food forever. Every pet owner wants to know that what they are feeding is safe for their pets. I don’t think that’s ever really possible when feeding a commercial dog food after what we’ve witnessed over the last 20+ years. But, I don’t know what the alternative is, or homecooking isn’t something I want to do. Considering all the issues with human food, what’s to say homecooked is truly safe either?
