RE: What Do You Feed Your Dogs
I feed my dog all the raw chicken she wants and then some. The only benefit I have noticed is that it saves me a lot of money since I raise chickens(about 600,000 a year). I also keep out plenty dry food for her because she is kinda like me and gets burnt out on chicken. One other thing, she likes the feet the best.

RE: What Do You Feed Your Dogs
Unlike 20 years ago there are a lot of high quality foods to choose from today, example is the food mentioned in the previous post, it appears to be a high quality feed. I feed Innova "EVO" to a dog that had chronic loose stool problem. This is the food that I settled on after trying many high end foods.
Turkey, Chicken, Turkey Meal, Chicken Meal, Potato, Herring Meal..... (no grains)
Protein 42.0% (not a typo, this food is mostly meat)
Fat 22.0%
Omega-3 Fatty acids .50%
Microorganisms (good bacteria) 90,000,000 CFU/LB
537 kcal/cup

Holy cow 42% protein!!! I've never heard of such a thing. I've also never heard of Innova or Artemis. Are they a local brand or can you only get it through certain locations/people?

They have a store locator button on the home page. Pet and feed stores across the country carry Innova.
