I was just curious. Some of the premium foods have less additives in them and with more things that sound more familiar, than say a Hot Dog, Sausage or Bologna.

Timberwolf smells foul but Canidae All Life Stages smells pretty good. There were a few times, I was tempted to pop one into my mouth! This is especially true after seeing the show Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel.

Don't worry, I wasn't knocking it. I was stating that I was tempted.

Right now, I am chomping on Biscotti that has a similar consistency to kibble. I haven't tried his kibble.

I tasted a "biscuit", sandwich cookie at Petco. Tasted just like a regular cookie. I wonder how different the ingredients are. They are in a bin with other biscuits for $3.99 a pound.

I haven't, but the lady who own's my dog's daycare/boarding facility has! She sells evangers wet food and was suspicious because the chicken has bones in it so she ate one to make sure it was OK! She said it was soft and melted in her mouth.

I a very large dog - he’s big as a bear! - and eats about 3 pounds of raw meat a day. His diet consists mainly of ground chicken, turkey and lamb (the highest fat content available - usually15 to 20 % - as dogs are carnivores and burn animal fat for energy the same way we burn carbohydrates); which I supplement with a small amount of raw vegetables to simulate what would be in the stomach contents of a rabbit or other small animal eaten in the wild. In addition, I mix in are some powdered kelp and alfalfa, a half of an avocado, a banana; some flax seed oil and cod liver oil, a tablespoon of apple vinegar; and some vitamin supplements. Once or twice a week, I mix in a raw egg (including the shell) into his bowl of food. For snacks, he eats raw turkey or chicken necks, bones and all. (Bones should never be cooked for it makes them brittle, which can be dangerous when ingested.) It costs about $10.00 dollars per day to feed him; but he is very healthy and has not suffered from the diet-related maladies associated with the grain-based dog foods produced for the commercial market. There are several books out on the raw or natural diet, which provide the recipe for proper nutrition for your dog.
