Now you are changing what you previously stated. You said a food too high in grains would kill a dog and that is simply not true. You are totally incorrect here and I highly suggest you do more research.

Psst *all* of the essential amino acids for dogs **CAN** be gotten from plant sources......

You are giving the terms "incomplete" and "complete" quality assignments that you shouldn't be. The terms are specific and accurate and have nothing to do with quality.

You change a lot of what you state in your posts, you should go back and reread what you have written to remind yourself of your own previous statements IMO.

I never said "food too high in grains". I said "a diet too high in grains" in both cases. If you are going to accuse me of being wrong at least pick something I actually said.

Show me where I stated otherwise. Do you think vegan diet is healthful for dogs?

In the context of the diet "completeness" is certainly a measure of quality. It's the difference between health and deficiency disease or even death.

Well, to sum it up I think you would seriously benefit from some nutritional and chemistry books..... your ideas posted throughout this thread are incorrect.

I, just like all of you, want to feed my dogs the best possible choice, within a reasonable budget. I have been using Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul Large Breed Puppy for 2 months now and love the food.

I feed dry kibble. Their coats have never looked better and they love the taste.

The ingredients are very similar to Blue Buffalo Wilderness and about 15 dollars less for a 35lb bag.

I used to feed Innova, but I like this even better!

Just one woman's opinion.
