If you really want to know what goes into pet food, have a look at 'Pet Fooled' if you have Netflix, or there is a trailer on YouTube if not.
We're so glad we switched our dogs to a raw food diet many years ago. Apart from the health benefits to the dogs, including no more bad breath, no anal gland problems & no 'smelly dog' smell, there's also a benefit for owners; smaller & fewer poos to pick up with hardly any smell.
I really don't understand why humans are being told to stop eating convenience food, while pet food companies and vets are encouraging exactly the opposite for dogs and cats. All living beings need fresh food & not the overly processed extruded **** that goes into kibble.

If you are feeding raw meat etc; how do you know if your dog is getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals? At least with processed dog food you know that all the vitamins and minerals a dog needs are added if not already in there.
Our Staffy who’s nearly 7, has been raw fed for nearly 5 years. As well as meat he has a range of vegetables and fruits on a daily basis. Processed dog food is awful. You put crap in and get even more crap out the other end. As every thing our dog eats is natural, no chemicals or preservatives, very little 💩 to deal with. If a raw diet is done properly, then the dog gets everything it needs. But never mix raw food with processed, they are digested differently, so don’t do the dog any good

I genuinely think that raw food, offal etc, is a great thing for your dog, they certainly go for it that’s for sure.
I have two working dogs, Spaniels, and feed them specially prepared working dog food. With the added bits and pieces they need. On a shoot day a working Gundog can cover over 150 miles, that takes some believing if you don’t work dogs, but it is a fact.
They are real machines, so need to get the right fuel in them. The reason I use “specialist” working dog food is so I know exactly what is going into them, and can easily adjust their intake depending on days spent in the field, times of year etc. I have never had, or will ever have a dog that is overweight.
They do get some raw food occasionally, when a friend turned up on shoot days with bags of it!
But, I firmly believe raw food is a great thing for dogs. Foxhounds are fed raw food, fallen stock, and they are real endurance machines, an amazing animal. I did make a big mistake a few years ago by giving them some Venison from a beast I had shot.......The eye of a needle comes to mind! 😳
If I could ensure the correct balance of protein, vitamins and carbs etc, I would definitely feed raw food. I guest it is a convenience thing for me.
