So what would be a good dog food for dogs? I feed blue life protection and mix in cooked chicken/turkey/beef. Also do a mix with royal canin when found on sale.

You can feed raw for about the same cost as processed dog food which is not any good. Dogs are actually more sensitive to carbohydrates than humans which is the reason cancer rates are so high in dogs.
What raw food can you find less than $1/lb?

This deal is $0.30 per lb. I'm not even going to ask you to compete with

In my area Aldi and Lidl have sales of fresh chicken for $0.59 - $0.79 a pound sometimes. May not be as good a price as pet food and its more trouble to process but at least it gives your pet a chance to live a full life without passing due to cancer. Plus feeding raw cuts out the need for the tick and flea pesticides given to animals. As a raw diet is natural the animals blood does not attract ticks and fleas as its more acidic.
BS. Show me any real science to this opinion at all.

"What you put into life is what you get out of it. " C Eastwood

A study conducted in Stockholm, Sweden by Dr. Kollath showed that young animals fed a cooked, processed diet initially appeared to be healthy, but once they reached maturity, they began to rapidly age and develop degenerative disease symptoms. The control group that was raised on a raw, uncooked diet did not age as fast and showed no degenerative disease symptoms but remained healthy.

Another study out of Belgium used data gathered from more than 500 domestic dogs over a consecutive five year time period (1998-2002). The authors, Lippert and Sapy, were able to statistically show that dogs fed a homemade diet, consisting of high quality foods used from their owners' meals versus dogs fed an industrial, commercial pet food diet had a life expectancy of 32 months longer ā€“ that's almost 3 years

There are numerous studies around both for and against kibble you just have to decide which is best for your pet. Just ask yourself who has more to gain from writing a study about processed dog food being healthy the company which produces it of course why would they give free pet food to veterinarians who are in school or sponsor studies with monetary donations. Who gains the most when a pet gets sick. If you figure out these questions you will have your answer.

Garbage food. SD $hilling for Unhealthy Pet Food Megacorp again.

FYI, if you try to counter that it has 4 stars on DogFoodAdvisor, it is a pay-for-play scam started by a dentist: https://pethelpful.com/dogs/Why-Y...od-Advisor

Unfortunately, there is nothing like CatFoodDB for canines.

These are good choices: https://www.insider.com/guides/pe...r-adults-1
Go buy Costco's dog and cat food better prices and great ingredients.

I would, but cat food at Costco is an afterthought. A whole row of dog stuff, and only a very small cat selection. Only the wet is "above average" in nutrition and not significantly above. The dry is below or significantly below average: https://catfooddb.com/search?search=kirkland

Not sure about the flea and tick stuff, but man people are hostile to the idea that their dog kibble isn't the best diet.. it's like some mass brainwashing. "LOL PEER REVIEWED STUDY BRO!?". No, it's just common sense.

Would you eat the same processed food daily for your entire life and expect to be healthy? No? Why would it be any different for a dog? They didn't evolve eating low quality food from a Nestle factory.

Such a simple concept that is lost on so many. Sad

Dogs are not the same as humans. Dogs are also not wolves. Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years, I promise they live longer and healthier now eating something like Purina dog chow or Ol' Roy than from whatever they received a thousand years ago.

I've seen those Reddit threads, and the arguments are always the same. Something about diverging from wolves, while ignoring the elephant in the room that kibble is a recent invention and most dogs prior survived on "people food". Kibble is mostly low quality food that is balanced enough to keep your pet alive while making $$.

Kibble is fine in moderation, but for optimal health they need real food too. Different cuts of chicken, organ meats, fish, turkey, some vegetables, etc.
