Bones and raw food in a bag in dry form ? Give me a break!

 

Have you read the ingredients ?

 

 

Ingredients:

Poultry meal, brown maize meal ( solubilised), brown rice meal, venison tripe meal, rice-germs, bone of game meal, maize-germs, Jerusalem artichoke meal, turnip-flour, sea-fish meal, linseed oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil ( cold-pressed)

Fruit-powder from: carob, pineapple, papaya, banana, acerola cherry, apple, pear, blueberry, mango, raspberry. Herbs, egg yolk, salmon oil, sea weed meal, trace elements, vitamins.

 

Alarm bells rang when I read a veterinarian and boarding kennels owner were behind the food. Convenience !

 

Do your homework and feed fresh meat, easy really.

I agree with Gunner, to anyone who stops and 'thinks' about it, you cannot replicate a natural raw diet by having it in a dry food form.

 

Yes its not an extruded food but its still a dry complete food, and like many of these foods now who have 'jumped' onto the bandwagon, they have manage to stuff as much into the food as possible. More for the marketing value that they can print that 101 natural ingredients are included on the label opposed to actually benefiting the animals.

 

For me fresh raw food is cheaper and far superior to dry foods, its a no brainer.

I completely agree with both of you: fresh and raw is much better, but for the times when your source dries up, or your freezer is kaput, then I like to keep a bag of dry for emergencies. People will probably say I'm getting cheap food or I'm on commission from them, but all I got was one bag to try out. I've never ever recommended a dry food before, but I was impressed at how good it was. OK, I only tried it out on two 'odd' dogs for just over a month, but it was certainly streets ahead of the other stuff I have used in the past. My 16 year old terrier and a hyper allergic lurcher did very well on it.

 

There is in fact another similar food on the market: can't remember the name now, but cold pressed the same as MM. I am impossible to 'buy': something that people who know me can testify to :laugh: so what I wrote was based purely on the trial I did with the food.

 

Even if I could afford to feed my tribe on dry, I wouldn't: it will always be fresh for me, or rather, them But it would be handy to have a bag or two around for those days when I run out of fresh grub.
