That affectionate doggie look in their eyes ain’t saying what you think it is saying???
Farmers Dog = expensive food but great for our dogs.
>>dry pellets of dog kibble, according to a new study. Whether or not that more natural ancestral diet
How far back did their ancestors eat dry pellets of dog kibble?
About 50 years..............
I found I don’t function as well when I eat just dry kibble!
My dog will starve himself before he eats certain dry dogfoods, even very expensive ones..............
Well, ya gotta have a bowl of water with it!................
My American Bulldog is snarfing down some nice ground chuck as I type this. She gets beef or chicken, pork or turkey almost every day; no cooked bones, but she matters more to me than all but about 3 or 4 humans on the face of the planet.
I would love to figure out the best way to put my dog and cats on a raw diet. Short of buying their food from the grocery store I’m not sure the best way to do it.
Come on folks! As a Little girl I was sent to my Grandmas house every summer. What did her dogs eat? Whatever was left over from dinner with Bone meal mixed in. They were healthy as horses and I continue to feed my dogs this way. My dogs have lived to 15, 18 and My Current dog is 19 He will be 20 years old This April Lord Willing!!
My German Shepherd growing up ate groundhogs, cats, possums, and whatever he could find in roadkill and the neighbor’s garbage cans.
He died of old age at 14 with several bullets in him. Healthy as could be his entire life.
We got a toy poodle a little over 3 years ago. The puppy just would not eat any “dog” food. Not kibble, not the expensive canned stuff, nada. So, we were feeding him mostly stuff that we were eating. And, that he liked and he ate pretty much everything we ate. Then hubby found some raw dog food and he gobbles that up. He will also eat Costco canned chicken (or as hubby calls it “stinky” chicken). And, table scraps. I make yams for him to go with the protein. He seems healthy and energetic, so I guess he is doing okay.
I make sure my furred ones get 4 to 5 ounces minimum of fresh cooked pork sirloin or steak or lean ground beef and a couple ounces of chicken/pasta/rice boiled up fresh weekly. There is always kibble available, but they don’t eat much of it like they used to.
My sister had a poodle, and fed it cooked meat and lunchmeat, and it developed Pancreatitis.
I forgot, he ate the carcasses from my trap line and the butchering scraps too.

Gravy Train!!!
A while back I was taking care of a dog, but I don’t own any dogs so don’t keep any dog food, so I just fed her stuff around the house that I thought a dog might like. Cans of Dinty Moore stew were a huge hit.
you need to be more careful when cleaning your firearms. :-)
Most dog food is made of meat that you couldn’t use to make a hot dog
