My Keeshond lived 18 years on Nutro crunchies with a little bit of homemade turkey soup poured over it. Turkey soup was essentially bone broth with little pieces of turkey, just a tad of celery and carrots chopped fine.. She’s been gone for years, but I still cry whenever I see a Keeshond. Live in an apartment now, and a cat is really all I can handle.

A vet told me once that dogs will eat poop because it’s about as nutritious and tasty as the dry dog food we put in their bowls. I always remember that when I feed my dogs.

Be aware that most cats don’t naturally switch to raw food. It can take several weeks of introduction to the new food.

Feline Nutrition is one of the most respected sources on the internet.

We are trying that out tonight. The Chihuahua got the meat from a left over Arbys classic roast beef. I’ll report back on the poop measurements. 😆

Sorry for the double post. My cat actually did by walking over the keys and sitting on something ...she owns my life.

I have a Maltese. He’s eaten nothing but fresh home-cooked meals. He loves ham and chicken, won’t eat beef at all. Peas and carrots but no corn. He loves apple slices for dessert. or blueberries . He will never see kibble or even wet dog food which he refuses to eat. The vet says he’s healthy and happy so keep doing what we’re doing.

If every pet dog is fed human-grade meat, fish, and vegetables, the consequences for carbon emissions and climate change would be immense. As such, some scientists are advocating we swap kibble and human-grade food for insect-based diets, which can produce 25 times less greenhouse emissions per kilogram of farming than beef, while using 47 times less land, and using about 20 times less water

They are serious.

My dog’s favorite food in the winter time is frozen moles he digs out of the ground.

It has all the ingredients you noted!

When I see this type of language used, I generally give no credence to the remainder of the article. It is mathematically incorrect and illogical. It is also ambiguous. Do they mean 25% less, 25% of, or one 25th of?
