Natures recipes sold in most larger chains has a vegetarian formula and other brands online. I dont think we should value one life over another. If a pet they should be veg, which dogs can be despite being omnivores.

There is a difference between NATURAL diets and CORRECT diets. The ONLY CORRECT diet for a dog or a cat is a RAW meat-based diet. Not cooked meat, not grain, not cooked grain. Not cooked ANYTHING. There are NUMEROUS raw pet foods available that are nutritionally balanced. Do some simple googling and you will find hundreds of products. Animal Food Services (AFS) is one(Animalfood,com) that is very good and comes frozen or freeze dried. ANYTHING COOKED IS NOT A CORRECT DIET FOR CARNIVORES. Simple.
@MelissaMagnificent There are tons of websites you can visit to get some ideal recipes. Dogster.com is my favorite. Everything you need to know is on this website. It actually gives you an excel worksheet where you input your dogs weight and it will automatically calculate the percentage of meat, bones, offals, organs you should feed. It’s usually about 2.5 percent of your dogs weight and what you want to do is to imitate a rabbit…this is called the prey model diet.
I feed raw for a reason.
@mugz28sc We went to raw last week. I’m wondering if there’s some sort of feeding guideline. All I’ve found is they tell you to feed chicken for the first two weeks, and then add other stuff. My question is how often to feed the other stuff?
@MelissaMagnificent
Check out the book : “Natural Health for Dogs and Cats” by Dr Pitcairn. He has a website as well.
There are many more vets recommending a home made diet, and once you start, it becomes really easy. Also, you can prepare it once a week and freeze it.

Mars manufacturers pet food, they made Pedigree. How does that make you feel?
thanx for sharing that… I have a cat and two dogs, and I want to switch to raw, but I have no Idea what to give them, can you help me with sugestions,tips, recepies etc…. please….
People…if you love your dogs…go raw. For years, I’ve been skeptical about feeding raw, about 2 months ago, I decided to switch my dog to raw feeding…and I will tell you, as an owner of a German Shepherd, I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK TO DRY KIBBLE FOOD. I am amazed at the positive results I’ve seen in feeding raw, and my dog has changed for the best. I see it. For years, it’s been Innova, Blue Buffalo, and Wellness…but now…it’s all about raw feeding. I love it
Most commercial dog foods are garbage. I feed a prey model raw diet to my dog and have been for 2 years now.
I’ve boycotted Mars for the better part of 1 year. You’re not crazy, you’re perfectly sane.
Yes i went to that website you gave me.
i think this is horrible.
I won’t eat this kind of candy until i know they don’t kill and torture animals of any kind.
call me crazy i don’t care !
Well, actually, maybe not cats or dogs, but it tortures other animals.
I sure am.

Chocolate*
are you telling me that the Mars chocklate i eat and i can buy in my store tortures cats and dogs to make it ?
iams Killed my cat! he got some kidney failure because of Iams!
I am throwing away iams its not even half empty yet just changed over to Innova I hope it was a good move.
I heard some of the by product in dog food is from horse meat
About to start feeding my boxer blue buffalo!!!!!! This is my last bag of iams..
Mars, that makes food for animals, happens to also torture animals to make chocolate. Ironic.
That is why I feed my dogs home cooking, then I don’t have to wonder about what is in their dishes. (smile)
Iams killed my Collies’ twin sister
