wow that was indeed a rant humandeephouseman! but at least it shows you care! when I can afford to my dogs and cats get human grade food that I make myself. sometimes they get kibble, when I cannot even afford food for us. the dogs love a piece of raw carrot as a treat. but I used to add brown rice to the dogs' meals, or other whole grains, and now am having to rethink that. my daughter ordered the book. I used to use steel cut oats, and add some to theirs, and now I know that is bad. sheesh
I let my positive rant get in the way of my memory as I forgot to mention that I DO feed a home-cooked diet as well similar to Miss Becker's suggestion, but I am not able to do this everyday. . . 2 days a week the dogs get a home-cooked meal of free-range, non-factory farmed meat plus some organic veggies, which gives them a break from the grain . . Give your dogs a scratch from me :) Peace
