I've been doing alot of reading on here the past couple of days about dog food, and it really has me questioning what i'm feeding. Reading alot of posts, both old and new, i've learned alot about food. I know that there is no "right" food, and every dog is different but after looking over the ingrediant list of Kodiak's current food, i know i can do much better by him by changing his food. Right now i've been feeding him Science Diet Large Breed Lamb meal and Rice recepie, i guess more out of ignorance than anything. Now that i feel more informed i feel guilty about making him eat this food any longer. I noticed that his eating habits are "weird" to me. I'll give him his whole daily allowance in the morning (8am?) and he doesnt usually touch it untill maybe around 5pm. ANYWAY ... Anyone feeding Natures Recepie Large Breed? I was looking it up online and the ingredient list looks MUCH better then the SD that i'm currently feeding:
Ingredients: Chicken meal, oatmeal, pearled barley, brown rice, poultry fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), chicken, brewer's yeast, dicalcium phosphate, tomato pomace, salt, animal digest, calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, chicory, alfalfa nutrient concentrage, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), inositol, niacin supplement, vitamin A supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, beta-carotene, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione sodium bisulfate complex, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), minerals (zinc proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, iron proteinate, copper sulfate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), L-carnitine, glucosamine hydrochloride, choline chloride, chondroitin sulfate, yucca schidgera, rosemary extract
Any Thoughts? i just want to make sure i'm not feeding him the equivelant of McDonalds cheeseburgers everyday!
