This always comes up on these threads, so what? what does it affect?

Never noticed anything, and we eat all sorts that will be the same

Makes no difference, I think it’s an old wives tale. When whole prey is fed, either to a pet or wild animal, it will eat meat, the intestines (which will be mainly veg) and bone. All these may digest differently but it doesn’t make one bit of difference.

Gilbey it was something I was told but I have no worries as I only feed raw and my 3 do well on it ,

After working for a well known working dog feed company for ten years and seeing what goes into it and conditions its made in it put me off feeding kibble full stop .lot of different names on the bags and % of this and that but in truth the only difference in % is the oil they put in , no I stick with raw .

even meat or hares rabbits ill cook for em i dont really feed raw now some is dodgy shite  and feeding hares raw the basterds shart eating em before you get there 

a dog fed raw will have different acid etc to break it down to one fed cooked or kibble or so i thought so feeding both isnt getting the best from it

and ill wet kibble the days leading up to a hard day there hydrated then you only have to watch a dog hammer water after some kibble to know it  drys em out

id do the same mooch meat one feed kibble 2nd feed of the day 

to much protein though will cause lactic acid makes kidneys work harder darker urine even blood after a bit a running 

When I fed kibble and raw I always fed separate like you but you can feed a well balanced raw diet without kibble .

We all feed differently and as long as they do OK on what we feed that's all that matters,

What was the company you worked for ? I’m guessing skinners for some reason, I’ve always wanted a tour around a dog food factory to see how it’s made and what goes in but perhaps ignorance is bliss

They make a well known gun dog feed along with a well known collie women's kibble ,amount of times I see rats sinking into oil vats and bits of cats going along the belt because they fell asleep in machine and machine op didn't check before turning on in morning ,place was filthy and when top customers come in to check how it made they was given a set tour so they didn't see the he'll hole for what it was .
