They also clearly state how much you should be feeding your dog, dependent on its weight, size, breed, and other existing health conditions. We really can’t stress enough with how impressed we are with Dr John. The experts we spoke to don't advise DIY homemade dog food. This is because it can be extremely difficult to put together a balanced, homemade diet for your pet, so it's generally not recommended, unless it's supervised by a vet. Can I my dog have a vegetarian diet?

My oh my. Such hyper-sensitivity and sarcasm there (is it really necessary one wonders?), it's difficult to know where to even begin with a reply. Suffice it to say that nobody was suggesting anything remotely like what you said in that penultimate paragraph, or what you were sayng in general in that reply.

I do admit that a 'complete' diet isn't perfect for dogs, yes. When or where did I say otherwise? I doubt there even IS such a thing as a perfect diet for all dogs (although the raw diet sounds to me like the most plausible, sensible and 'natural' option) hence questions and topics such as this one, and the confusion over feeding decent food to our companions that seems all too common. The fact of the matter is that for the same money you'd spend on a bag of Dr.John's food, you could be buying a far better product, or even making your own homemade food. You're not suggesting they are "happy" because they once knew they were facing death, but now are not, surely? There are risks to handling fresh, frozen or freeze-dried raw food. The UK Pet Food recommends the following: Commercial options are a safer bet for nutrition.

It has been proven that grain free diets are incredibly beneficial to dogs, especially those who have sensitive tummies. Grain free recipes are easier to digest, prevent any bloating and the uncomfortable feeling that can sometimes prevent dogs from being as active as they should be. UK Pet Food says: 'All "complete" pet foods must by law contain all the nutrients in the right proportions that a pet needs for healthy bodily function.' Like we have mentioned above, it’s pretty hard to find any negatives in this product. The only thing we can say is that it isn’t cheap. So, if you are looking for an inexpensive product, Dr John is not the place to look.However, this being said, you do get for what you pay for, and there are hundreds, if not thousands of happy owners that swear by Dr John’s. Conclusion The BVA told us: 'We don't recommend a raw food diet, at least without a vet's guidance. This is for two main reasons: the nutritional deficiencies that often come with feeding raw food (eg low taurine in cats or high vitamin A) and the risks associated with handling raw food – both for the pets and the household.' I have had my eyes opened to the benefits of a natural, raw diet since joining this forum, and that is what I have been led to believe is the very best we can feed our dogs - hence it is what I'm going to attempt to feed from now on. Perhaps even this diet isn't the best - which has led to my confusion on the subject with such differing advice being published here there and everywhere. This topic was asking about the quality of a certain food, and people have offered their advice on what is, and what is not, a good quality food.
