I never understood the whole "dry dog food diet" and expecting dogs to be healthy long term. Imagine yourself eating dry crackers all your life. Its sad.

Maybe its just me but dogs need to eat actual meat and bones and real veggies. I grew up with our dog eating normal food: remains of the meats we ate, bones, lightly cooked meat purchased separately, certain vegetables etc. etc.

One day, we did buy dry dog food for him. He came up, looked at it, turned around and walked away. The next day we gave dry food away. We "spoiled" him with good normal food.

People might say its expensive. But really, looking at the thousands and thousands of dollars pet owners spend on their dogs already normal food prepared smartly is not that expensive.

Honestly if you cant afford to feed your dog/cat properly maybe you should not have a pet at all.



My wife makes our dogs food once/month. The cost comes out to about the same as one of the expensive brands of kibble.

She does have to cook everything which takes a few hours though.


I mean duh you'd cook food for your child and not feed him/her crackers. The same goes for dogs/cats. They are family members and deserve to eat god food too.
