Good explanation but too bad it isn't true. I do still wonder but at least I know enough to know whats true and what isn't. Didn't spend a lifetime in quality assurance within the feed industry to be so easily misled. Ezzy How convenient, I'll have to tell my biology, and Chemistry professors they ...

[quote="Rick Hall But any dog worked hard for multiple days on end is going to dip into its blood glucose and need to replentish it if it is to continue to do so.[/quote] Glucose will be depleted in hours, not days. Most likely less than 3 hours. This is why it is so important for a dog to efficient...

Makes me wonder why corn is good but if we take the sugar and some of the starch out it is bad. Makes me wonder why all of the the people that really know how I and my dog should eat and live are either in Washington DC or on the internet and not getting rich and famous raising and training better ...

I have a question about protein. I had read something interesting on the Orijen website, and the other Acana. When you look at the calories under the Adult Feed, it mentions 25% of the calorie distribution comes from fruits and vegetable? I had also noticed, Acana mentions in their ingredients and ...

My argument is that a higher-priced food has to show some benefit. Show me just one independent, refereed study published in an accepted journal of veterinary medicine that shows an unambiguous advantage to Abady, etc. over Arkat, Eukanuba, Diamond, Pro-Plan, etc and I'll gladly start feeding it. T...

ezzy, is that a statement of fact or just your opinion? McBosco, Tell you what. If your idea of diet is so much better, your dog should perform that much better. When you win a national-level stake, I'll pay attention. Till then, it's "where's the beef". Look how many records in Baseball have been ...

First off lets get one thing right I never said anything about your response being wrong so lets set that straight.......And I asked you a series of questions on what ticks you off on these food topics, and it has been more than one, pretty simple. So to me you answered the question, your not gonna...

Well Chip, my issue is with apologist who refuse to acknowledge the massive shortcomings of the industry. For Ezzy to come on here and blow smoke about the great checks and balances of the dog food industry is more than I am willing to let slide. Acting like they couldn't possibly do any better of a...

What happened to the Benelli & the Stoeger 2000?

Stoeger went back, at least the pieces I could find, still got a benelli 20gauge. These are the guns I let my guests use when they come hunt at my estate.

Browning strap vest for Grouse, Mothers for pheasant. If I can drop a quick 40, I may be able to fit in my Filson.

Your faith in the system is terribly misguided.brdhntr Don't think so and I have the proof it works when you look at the history of our country. I agree it could be better but it is the best in the world and we have the results to prove it. When I get so jaded that I think everyone is out to get me...

None as we all found out when it was discovered by the very checks I just described. I never said something couldn't happen and we all know it can with a company or in our own homes.

He told me its about 50 cents a pound, looks like a hundred other formulas, but you could worse as a base for some raw additions. But you have to be aware once you start making additions then you are throwing the other ingredients out of balance such as all of the minerals and vitamins. I wouldn't ...

All the previous bloodines mentioned are great but I would like to add to that. For foot hunting, I have found that the Crow's Little Joe line and Addition's Go Boy line are hard to beat. JMO. Ron I really have to agree on the Additions go boy line. I got two great foot hunters out of this line, I ...

I don't know how you could possibly say diet makes no difference, and actually believe it. You are beginning to sound like a Purina propagandist. If what you feed them isn't relevant, then not feeding them at all should yield the same results, and giving maltodextrin shouldn't have any effect either...

My guess is the test they did was based on dogs fed pro plan. They probabally do replace their glycogen faster in dogs they are conditioned to that type of diet. Glycogen is stored in the muscles and liver, and is basically a fixed amount. Pretty much all dogs will run out in about the same amount o...

You are right, there is no way to know if the 17 yr. old Brittany that was found dead in her sleep had cancer and that is what caused her to die. But I do know for sure that it was not bloat. So all your dogs live to be 17, hunt to the last day, then die in their sleep with a clean bill of health? ...

I have had my dogs tear themselves up something fierce. I have a dog who has a scar from the base of his neck, to the end of his rib cage. When the weather is not to warm, my dogs wear vests. One of my dogs sliced right through a neoprene vest, it has about a 4 inch long slice. The vest did do its j...

So what did the dogs die from? My guess is that you really don't know what their exact causes of death were.

3 major factors contribute to heath. Life style, genetics, and diet. Our breeders have done a great job with #2, and most serious hunters do a good job with #1. I simply maintain based on my own experience, that diet currently has the most room for improvement. If I hadn't been forced to deal with i...

Corn is crazy high in sugar, even feed corn. That is why it is used in ethanol production. Corn is the worst for creating hypoglycemic reactions due to its increased digestibility, as compared to sugar cane and sugar beets. The more processed as food is the faster it is absorbed in many cases. This...

Starch = sugar. If corn is 70-75% starch, then it is 70-75% sugar. You cant say it is low in sugar and high in starch because starch is sugar. Spin it a thousand ways, but starch will always be sugar. Starch is broke down by Hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is using enzymes to break down, not convert the star...

the whole discussion is foolish, it reminds me of the food industry telling young mothers to buy baby formula because the free stuff isn't as good. no company will ever make a dog food that is as good as a fresh kill, to the extent you can emulate that the better off you will be. Since you are unab...

brdhntr, I know that some people like to feed something different than commercial dog food and that is fine. The thinking is that their dog is getting a superior diet. That thinking is flawed.

Feeding raw sounded pretty cost efficient where brdhntr lived but chicken and hamburger is not that cheap where I live and I don't have a big deep freeze to keep 130 lbs. of raw chicken and beef in.

Fromms is a good food, but it is low in calories. Canidae is a good food, that is one of the higher calorie feeds. This makes it one of the better values in my opinion.
