I feel the same way and started looking into the homemade food as well. Just be carfeul with too much salt. I came across a site stating that it was not good for dogs. Apparently a dog's body cannot process excess salt and it can accumulate, causing kidney disease in old age.
Was curious as to whether anyone else could chime in on supplementation. I read that calcium would need to be added. Anything else that I need to include?
I think I put that up before. I saw a homemade thing with Kelp. I'm not going around to get "eye of newt" and crap like that (who remembers where "eye of newt" comes from?). Put in a search, and they have reasonably priced supplements you can just add to food.
dinovite we listed here; that looked ok. And there are others.
Amazing. Here, they lick their ass, and I'm worried about what they eat. What a life they have.
Bill Engval had a routine where his wife bought the dog one of those things that elevate the bowl to shoulder level. His wife said it was to help him eat. He says, "I think he's supple enough to eat. I've seen him lick his ass."
