Very Good Food Ingredient Site

Basenji Feeding
  • I have been doing much research on dog food ingredients, the quality ranking of some products and why. I ran across this site that I personally found very helpful. I was originally searching for an answer as to how much protein is appropriate. I had been to a seminar concerning aggression issues and the topic of too much protein was found to be a variable responsible for aggression issues. Well, this seems to be false. It is probably truer to assume the 'quality'. There was not a 'study' given that came up with the theory…. So, if this site is helpful to anyone, I will have been happy to assist! (lots of work went into her research-enjoyable reading) http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=main

    And an old reliable used for probably 15 yrs by many of us: http://www.doberdogs.com/

  • Oh, well thank you for the history lesson Debra….don't you think with all the new members that it might help someone who doesn't like to go through all that 'searching' in the forum? I only found it recently so theoretically and statistically, many members may not have 'found' it by a search engine either here or via the internet. you really start some stuff sometimes DebraDownSouth.......why don't you try sounding a little less abrasive some (all)the time..............

  • wow.. just wow

  • DebraDownSouth;163193 Wow, how utterly revealing in ways you seem oblivious to.

    You gave a link, I gave a couple of more, that's all. [?]
    Nothing about searching in forum in my post,[You took this VERY wrong-I was indicating how new members may not know that this link has been useful on this forum for 15yrs and they may not know about the searching for Food Ingredient Links on this forum. I did not go into your previous personal replies, posts, etc….seems you are reading into this] not one single comment,
    and you tell me I was abrasive? [not just me in the history of this forum-in your reply to my original post you just had to point out that my new found info was passe by 15 years….ok, so I could have read into this phrase, but you have always had to input in such a way that is abrasive and so many Threads have others replying back in defense mode....]
    Please, really, get some help. I am reporting your post for attacking me because no one on EARTH could see anything wrong with my post but someone who seriously has some issues and fabricates them._

  • Deleted to make one succinct, which is far more attention than your post should get since it obvious was a plea for attention.

    Your response over the top, uncalled for and totally twisting nothing into something "abrasive".

    I gave 2 more links, didn't indicate anyone should have known them or found them. Just that one has been around a long time and reliable. That you take that and use it as excuse to attack me is pretty sad. Get help. Really. Reporting you so your pattern of personal attacks can be seen.

  • You know what? It's Christmas. Can't we all just let it go. More important things in the world to worry about. Perspective, and all that. :)

  • Sorry but I did nothing, and the likelihood of my ignoring a personal attack any time a year are close to zero.

    But season's greetings to you. :)

  • @DebraDownSouth:

    ;) Who would have guessed that? Hope everyone has a great Christmas. :)

    I would find out what he scared of or what he dislikes about the car. Is it the car itself, the sensation of being closed in, the movement when the car is being driven? Then work on whatever the problem is, with food. As for food, I use raw duck and vegetables. And I hand-feed all meals, so I never have a problem with not eating/partially eating. I would also recommend hand-feeding for anyone who does have a dog with food issues. Shredded chicken is good (as long as he doesn't have any reactions). But that and some kibble isn't a balanced meal. You may wish to look into a vitamin supplement, specifically something that has a focus on omega 3 (since chicken is high in omega 6), Vitamin C & the B vitamins (because if all he's eating is chicken and kibble, where is his source of vitamin C and the B vitamins?), zinc & copper (same reasons). All the best. EDIT: I just realized this thread is a year old and was bumped by what is almost certainly a bot.

    Ive just put one of my guys on TOTW, and just bought a bag yesterday. Thankfully this bag appears to not be affected, BUT… I have 4 sample packs, one of which is open and has been fed to the dog... I cant find a Production Code box on any of the sample packs ??? Should I just chuck them out, or does anyone know how I can check to see if these are contaminated ??? ETA Im in Australia, and have heard nothing about this recall, until I came here today...

    Kananga approves. :D Local pet store that I go to carries all of the frozen raw diets offered by Nature's Variety. It's nice to have a good selection to possibly rotate proteins. I thawed out 3 medallions and it only took Kananga 20-30 seconds to realize this was yummy food. He's a big fan of this but hopefully he'll still like his dry kibble. :)

    I give it to dogs who don't eat…or to hide pills in. But not as a regular thing.

    Jack will paw at his water bowl, tip it over, grab and run with it into the living room, throw it around the kitchen…. And not only when it's empty- if he decides he wants fresh water, he'll knock water all over the kitchen floor.:mad:
