Such dogs appear to be happy and healthy because they ARE happy and healthy, but by feeding terrible quality food, you are seriously jeopardising the chances of them remaining so for as long as they possibly can. The scientific/technological mantra of "garbage in, garbage out" springs to mind here, and feeding poor quality food is in no way good for any animal - no matter how much better quality food they also eat. It all has to go through the same bodily functions, the body has to deal with everything that is put into it, and an animal can only eat a certain amount of food. Suitable from weaning up, the versatile formula can be softened to a weaning porridge by adding warm water whilst i obviously hugely applaud anyone who rescues animals, i hate when they then turn around and use it as a point to justify knowingly feeding crap food.

If this topic were titled: " Re-homing shelters should not feed Dr. John's dog food, and they are being immoral and/or uncaring if they do so", then the angry replies we've had from some members would be wholly valid.I have had my eyes opened to the benefits of a natural, raw diet since joining this forum, and that is what I have been led to believe is the very best we can feed our dogs - hence it is what I'm going to attempt to feed from now on. Perhaps even this diet isn't the best - which has led to my confusion on the subject with such differing advice being published here there and everywhere. Analytical Constituents: Protein 27%, Crude Fibres 2.5%, Crude Oils and Fats 15%, Crude Ash 7.5%, Moisture 9%. A large quantity of dogs are "happily eating" Pedigree Chum, Bakers and Chappie. They may look like they are happy and healthy, but unfortunately they cannot speak human languages, and they do not know what they are being fed.

I do admit that a 'complete' diet isn't perfect for dogs, yes. When or where did I say otherwise? I doubt there even IS such a thing as a perfect diet for all dogs (although the raw diet sounds to me like the most plausible, sensible and 'natural' option) hence questions and topics such as this one, and the confusion over feeding decent food to our companions that seems all too common. The fact of the matter is that for the same money you'd spend on a bag of Dr.John's food, you could be buying a far better product, or even making your own homemade food.

My oh my. Such hyper-sensitivity and sarcasm there (is it really necessary one wonders?), it's difficult to know where to even begin with a reply.
