I've read that too but it does not really concern me too much. Its more of an issue for larger breed dogs. Also a canines natural diet is almost 100% grainless. When do you see a dog in the wild eating corn or wheat?

Innova puppy chow in the beginning, but we've graduated to the evo adult now.

We went raw in December...so that's what our pups get.

Before that it was Canidae ALS.

Both my dogs get Wellness super5 mix, lamb and rice formula. Luckily, they're not picky and they do great on it!

I feed my dog Canine Life. It's a mix to which I add meat, eggs, green beans, sweet potato, apple and blueberries and bake in muffin tins. She likes it and I can vary the meat and veggies (as long as there is one orange and one green veggie). I could also just cook them without the meat and then add raw meat. I also feed Urban Wolf which is a grain-free mix and just add raw or lightly cooked meat and eggs.

To anyone who feeds Kibble and bits, you may want to reconsider as it has propylene glycol and hydrochloric acid in it. I emailed the company about it and the rep told me that propylene glycol is acceptable in certain amounts but she didn't say anything about the acid. I think aspirin has hydrochloric acid and I'm sure in some concentrations, it's not harmful but why give it if you don't have to? I'm sure you don't add it as a condiment on your food.

I feed my older dogs Innova Senior Plus, My younger dogs Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul Adult Dog Formula, and my puppies Wellness Just For Puppy

Bo is transitioning from Science Diet Puppy (what he was eating at the shelter) to Innova Large Breed Puppy. When he is 9 to 12 months old, I plan on switching to EVO. My cats are on EVO and doing great.

We also try to give him a serving of chicken and usually potatoes and carrots once a day. There are no additives (salt) we boil the chicken and veggies just for him.

Wellness, Innova and have used Taste of the Wild in the past as well. So many good brands are difficult to find locally.

Both Dog and Cat are on Blue Buffalo...they love it!!!

Look on the back of a bag of Innova Evo. We're talking 40% protein. Whereas a hunk of bone-in meat is mostly moisture. Once you factor out everything else, it's really only 10% protein.

I tried many kibble type foods because one of my std poodles had skin issues. The Science Diet the Vet recommended did not help nor did any others I tried for allergy/sensitive skin. Like some other posts I read, I couldn't see paying the prices for Wellness and other natural foods, so I did some research and started making my own. I don't feed totally raw, but the skin issues have gone away. Their food and treats have human food and I feel it is as good or equal to the high priced food.

It does take a little time to prepare a week or 2 worth of food but no more than it takes to drive to the pet store for special food.
