Of course fresh is best but how many of us can afford that everyday? A lot of folks on fixed incomes can only afford frozen fruits/veggies (for themselves). I am sure they are getting some benefit…but it’s not the same thing :-/

I consider dog food kibble the base, not the entire meal. So by adding some fresh cooked ingredients (plus water) to it, I feel I am covering all bases.

So far I have had positive results. I don’t expect any kibble or canned food to cover all nutritional needs (ideally) for pets.
