Overheard - dog food discussion

[nanney1]

I was at a small, UKC conformation show this weekend and happened to overhear a couple of exhibitors discussing food ringside. The Chessie exhibitor (who was very loud) said that she fed RAW, usually chicken or ground beef. The Northern Chinook lady said that she didn't have time with all of her dogs to feed RAW. And, she didn't want to feed some special, expensive kibble since she knew her puppy owners would just feed whatever. So, she wanted her breeding dogs to be able to do well on a basic, commercial kibble.

Currently, she said she was feeding Member's Mark. You would have thought the Chessie lady was going to have a stroke from the news that she was feeding such a horrible food. She actually took a step back, held her chest, and said "Oh no". The Chinook lady said that when she started with dogs she fed Alpo and her dogs always did fine. Kind of interesting and funny at the same time.

That doesn't change the fact that it's junk! :roll:

I have been back feeding Exceed and in my opinion it is far from junk, what people feed is too heavily influenced by propoganda, some fall for it some don't.

I don't think feeding raw is junk. It's just one way of feeding if you have the time and money to do it. But you shouldn't call it junk!.
