stormrider8 59 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Why people feed both dry and raw, I have no idea???I can only put it down to they dont have confidence in REAL RAW food? Or just dont jave the knowedge on how to feed dogs naturally and correctly. It is also a good recipe for bloat feeding both raw and dry together, as well as a plethora of other problems that can arrise?? The last bag of dry muck I won, I gave it away, its utter rubbish in my eyes plethora of other problems! What do you mean mate, been feeding this way for 18 years and had no problems what so ever. Its not cheap but they look great on it.. cheers chris Quote Link to post

A Complete food is a 'Complete food' (meaning everything) just like it states on the bag. You don't need to add anything, the men in white coats did not spend money and time creating a food to be used like a mixer did they? Many dog folk feed meat with complete I have found over the years, generally as they either feel bad that the dog has to eat dry food, and it makes the owner feel better Or they are worried the dog is not getting all it needs from meat. In general I have yet to come across a dog who does not do and look better on raw food Quote Link to post

Well, I am not into Internet Point Proving, as I am 100% sure of my facts, I posted on the thread to add some knowledge i have of nutrition. There is lots of evidence and veterinary data available, that feeding a complete and wet together is a BAD idea, just ring up the manufacturer?. You obviously want some kind of , 'i am right and everyone else s wrong badge' and personally, you carry on If you cant understand the fact that complete food is COMPLETE (ie: it contains everything), you really have a bit to learn Good luck with your dogs and your feeding regime, I will stick to what I believe to be right Quote Link to post
