All humans have their preferences for their pets, I suppose. I decided that since Purina has been in the animal chow business for a hundred and some years, they must know what they are doing. And it was what my grandparents and great grands used on their farms, so that’s my choice for my dogs. They are happy and healthy, so I will stick with it. YMMV

My vet agrees with you.

My 20-month old Akita is on Purina One lamb and rice kibble and eats a can and a half of Alpo/day. No problems. He gets some rice mixed into the wet food and some of whatever meat entree we are having. Some days he gets mackerel instead of Alpo. An egg 2x/week and the only *treat* he will eat are Beneful Hugs. He gets 2 of those a day.

He also steals any unattended black coffee and we really have to keep him away from red wine. He likes deer turds, too.

Dogs are omnivores. What they will eat in the wild would gross out most owners.

He’s healthy and fine.
