You are welcome.

I've come a long way in what I feed my dogs.

I fed my first Rottie Science Diet. Back in 1984 I didn't know any better. My poor Otto was plagued by hot spots thruout his life. I probably put my vet's kid thru a semester's worth of college with all the money I spent on cremes, dips, shampoos, sprays, ointments, et al, trying in vain to give my dog relief.

When I started doing research, I found out all kibble isn't created equal. From about 1990 onwards I fed premium kibble. More research led me to believe raw is best for our canine companions. Tho I believed this for years it wasn't until our current foster simply failed to thrive on kibble that I finally moved to where I am now--feeding raw.

I won't go back to feeding kibble for extended periods of time to our personal dogs. (If I run out of raw before a shipment it due to come in, I'd feed EVO or Orijen, but I don't plan to go back to feeding our dogs kibble.)
