Well, we’ll see what we actually decide to do. Still mulling it over.

I feel like with any National Brand we’re just one screw up away from the next recall. That’s part of my fatigue is with national large scale distribution of not just dog food, but all our food. Food should be local, larger factories, bigger batches just aren’t better for any one.

So that’s part of my issue.

And my instinct is not that it’s the meat they’re allergic to. Yours is, apparently, but I just don’t have that instinct about mine. Dogs are supposed to eat meat. I think it’s the wheat and corn and gluten and meal and ~whatever~ that’s in all the kibble foods.

You won’t find corn, wheat gluten in my IVD. They are aware these are typical allergens so avoid them.

Something I forgot to mention is to look up the studies done by Billinghurst, Schultze and Pitcairn. Dr. Billinghurst was, I believe, the first to do studies on wild dogs in Australia. When left to their own devises, the wild dog will eat the stomach contents first (this can be duplicated by the slightly cooked vegetables or tripe, which can be ordered on-line or bought in quality dog food stores), then the rest of the animal.
