Sometimes... what works for one.. doesn't work for all.
For instance, I feed Bentley Purina Puppy Chow. Probably one of the lowest rated foods (according to the masses) on the market, BUT, he won't eat anything else. Believe me, I've tried. And you know what? He does GREAT on it. He's healthy, a good weight, great coat and no allergies. When it's time to switch to adult food, I may try a "healthier" food again. But if it doesn't go well, I plan on sticking with Dog Chow. I "COULD" make him eat something he doesn't like (and will literally starve himself for days on). But why would I do that when I know he is happy and healthy eating Purina. I don't do it because it's cheaper.. I do it because it's what works for MY dog.
My point is, everyone (yes, even YOU), does one thing or another with/for their dogs that you know is against all research/advice. But because it works, you do it. Even if most don't agree or do the same.
So I want to hear everyone's confessions! And PLEASE!.. No judgements! Just because something is best for your dog, doesn't make it best for ALL dogs.
