What Pet Food You Use?

I hope most wouldn't feed their kids shit food, so why feed your pets shit food?

Well my kids don't lick their balls or ass so there is a difference. I always get a good laugh when I watch a dog licking themself then run over and start to lick their owners in the face.

Did FD start this thread? I'm kind of partial to IAMs myself. It gives my coat a nice shine.

This had me busting out laughing, LOL.

Ultimately the food your dog can tolerate is going to be an individual thing. Just like for people. Some dogs have iron stomachs and can take anything, others get the runs from nothing.

There's a tendency for people to blame the dog food when something goes wrong with the dog, but typically there's an underlying medical condition that's to blame.

I've heard of quality problems with certain dog foods (unsanitary conditions at the processing plant, etc.), but if you do some research and find the dogfoods with decent records, from there it's just a matter of finding the one that agrees with your pet's stomach. There's no food that will make them live longer or anything like that. Genetics have a much greater influence on longevity than the food does.

Same goes for humans, too. My grandmom smoked unfiltered cigs for 55 years, was an alcoholic, had hypertension, ate like shit, and lived to be 89. Go figure.
