WELCOME TO THE FOOD GROUP - This group was started in an attempt to present well-researched and FACT-based information on the amazingly complicated and confusing issue of feeding our dogs. There are also many issues we would like to explore. We thought it would be helpful to put all of these questions, information, and feedback into one place here on DK where everyone can find it, contribute to it, ask questions, and learn together.
WE ASK THAT YOU NOT POST ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRODUCTS FOR WHICH YOU RECEIVE ANY TYPE OF COMMISSION OR COMPENSATION. THANK YOU.
IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ "FOOD GROUP GUIDELINES" BEFORE STARTING A NEW DISCUSSION.

Tired of the same food

Started by Stacy. Last reply by ks-man Aug 20, 2019. 38 Replies

I think this is an easy question. I think Maggie is tired of her food. She's been eating the same thing for a long time, and she's kind of blah on it. She's my most reluctant eater anyway.She's eating Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost Beef. She's…Continue

Your favorite high value treats?

Started by J and Riley (and Luna). Last reply by Kathy and Ruby Skye Aug 11, 2019. 24 Replies

Riley LOVES her kibble but she is really not super motivated by any treats we've tried.  We really haven't tried that many (just pure bites chicken and Zuke's minis, right now using a different Fromm kibble as treats) but we need a couple different…Continue

My turn to ask for advice. :)Jasper's digestive system has gotten a little bit "off" the past few weeks. I'm chalking it up to new and different treats, and too many of them; the treats were being dispensed very liberally during the weeks leading up…Continue

I'm not putting these on our recommended list because they are in such limited distribution. But if you live in Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin, do your dog a favor and get some of these treats. Jasper got some in his goody bags that his obedience class instructor gives out at graduations, and he has never responded to any treat with such enthusiasm! Really good ingredients, and lots of variety.

Too funny!!!!!

Comment by J and Riley (and Luna) on June 30, 2019 at 9:42am

Lol I thought you'd get a kick out of it.  It's pretty silly.

Comment by Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle on June 30, 2019 at 6:59am

I acutally did watch this video just now, and I have to thank you for posting it, because I haven't laughed this hard in ages. I particularly loved the line "Most humans don't get three kinds of mushrooms per day!" ROFL!

Comment by Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle on June 30, 2019 at 6:48am

I don't have time to watch the video right now, but Gary Richter is discussed in the Quackwatch column a lot. LOL

Comment by J and Riley (and Luna) on June 30, 2019 at 4:51am

For your daily laugh... I bring you this ridiculousness that was forwarded by my (well-meaning but gullible) mother-in-law.

Yes, cancer is definitely caused by your dog not having this stuff you're pushing! -_- *groan*  and of course EVERY dog food is deficient too!

Comment by J and Riley (and Luna) on June 29, 2019 at 5:39am

Haha this is too perfect

Comment by Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle on June 28, 2019 at 9:48pm

LOL! 

Comment by Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie on June 28, 2019 at 9:09pm
