White rice would be a better option for dogs if you are looking to add Magnesium. True, brown rice may have a higher MG content, however white rice by some is considered superior compared to brown rice for dogs. The concept here is to avoid any gluten source protein for dogs, and gluten would...

I would look for the one that has chicken byproduct meal or poultry byproduct meal list as the first ingredient. They are the ones that would contain the most animal source protein. Then from there I would look for the products containing the LEAST amount of plant matter. After that I would...

Ingredients I would avoid: Soybeans, Beet Pulp, Tomato Pomace, Alfalfa, Peas, Beans, Oats, Potatoes, Garlic, and Yucca.

It's a sad day indeed... http://therobertabadydogfoodcoltd.com/RecallLetter.pdf

After 33 years at a pack a day plus, I am very happy and pleased to announce I have finally KICKED THE HABIT!! I am smoke free now for over 60 days. I recall many years ago asking my Vet about possible impact on my dogs (and cats) health in regards to my smoking. To my surprised he kinda...

Yes, it's me again. I'm still around and happy to report my dog is doing great and yes I am still feeding...that's right, you guessed it....ABADY CLASSIC GRANULAR! Come September my Zoey will be 10 years old, she still love hunting Pheasants with a passion and has no trouble keeping up with...

My dog has been eating Abady granular feeds going on 9 years now. No problems to speak of and no weird trips to the vet. It is a high powered feed (30/28) and pushing close to 900 calories per cup. Granular was developed back in the mid to late 80's to offer a convenient option to the Abady raw...

Me personally, I would avoid feeding seaweed to my dog. I think a dog would be much better off with Chicken By-Product Meal and Pork Fat lard.

I think white rice is a much better option than potato. Grain free is a marketing gimmick. Just like you mentioned above, the product must have enough carb in it to make it stick together and form a kibble when steamed or baked, otherwise it would fall apart. Knowing that, a fiber swap from...

It's not better. Yes, there is an obsession with grain-free, brought about by slick advertising and crafty marketing. Reality is, the fiber from plants holds no advantage over the fiber from grain. When it comes to fiber, less is best for dogs. People are fooled by the innocent numbers. 5% fiber...

I'd like to read that article. I'm surprised the WDJ would make that admission. I mean, just take a look at that top 10 with their endorsements:lol-sign:. In any event, thumbs up for eggs, cooked or raw:thumbup:

I'm not sure how profitable they are, their focus is not sales appeal. When people hear the words chicken by-product meal, lard, and beef meat and bone meal, forget about white rice, they're already running for the hills and stay far, far away. Another point about white rice that I think is...

Yes, we have to agree to disagree. I will use common sense too and listen to what my dog food manufacturer says, not what just another website owner thinks. Regardless of how popular she may be or her website, she never made dog food. She is very good a regurgitating information found in AAFCO...

If you stop and think about it, less fiber and gluten is best for our animals. White rice is superior to brown rice for dogs. Gluten is damaging to the body and probably the leading cause of allergies in dogs. Brown rice contains gluten which makes plain white rice (unbleached) the much better...

Why do you think "brown rice is always a far better choice than white rice"? Is it the higher fiber content and gluten from the hull that makes it a better choice? My thinking would be less is aways best when it comes to fiber and gluten source proteins for dogs. Charlie

I don't think it is a good idea to mix the raw and the kibble. Raw does not have to be chewed, but they need to chew the kibble. A natural tendency to gulp one food, and forced to chew at the same time? Me personally, I would avoid the oatmeal. If you have to add something stay non-allergenic...
