I guess I have bought into the hype of the grain free dog food.
It may very well just be a clever marketing ploy by the pet food companies.
I don't really know.
I just want to feed my dog as good of a feed as I can and take care of her the best I can.
I want the very best for her health.
Yep, I agree. Don't take that as a dig to you. I deal with it every day. People come in talking about this expensive food they buy and talking about it and I ask them what it means. They look at me with a blank stare and usually have no idea. The pet food industry is the most cut throat, slimy industries in America. The pet-owner dynamic has changed so much in the last 30 years, pets are like humans now to some owners. These pet food companies have realized that and essentially created a market that wasn't there 15 years ago and have created a freaking gold mine marketing these products with all the buzz words like "grain free, venison, organic, non-GMO, etc". They aren't really a better food, but they have marketed it to be a better food and the public bought it.
Find a high quality food that your dog eats and is healthy on, you can afford, and you're good to go. If Taste of the Wild is what you like, so be it.
