I've only ever fed my dog... fresh meat, cottage cheese, and veggies.
Nothing I couldn't eat myself, she is 11 and has had very good health,
except now old age is setting in a bit since she's a large dog, and she
hasn't fully recovered from the surgery to remove a cyst on her side. It's
just a personal thing with me, I don't trust dog food of any kind. :-)
