No answer yet from Eagle Pack. Maybe they just think the question is so stupid as to not require an answer. lol. I hold out hope I will hear from them though. If I don't get an answer I am just going to finish up the Eagle Pack and keep her on Natural Balance with a raw egg and leave it at that. I will never be satisfied with the answers that it can cause problems without some actual statistical proof though. Assumptions can actually travel around the world like that. It's not that I think nobody is telling the truth. It's just that the answers are touchy feely wherever I read about it. This can happen. That can happen. But nothing that shows me actuals. How many dogs have suffered ill effects from mixing foods? What foods were they on? How did we determine that their problems had to do with mixing foods, scientifically, subjectively, what? Things like that. Maybe it's out there but if it is I haven't found it yet. I just saw a site that said it's a great idea. I have no means of determining whether that's bull or not either. I am left with math and math tells me, "Whattttttt???".
But as with all things like this, I guess it is really best not to take the chance whether I ever see actuals or not. I had no idea till now that this was even an issue. My vet didn't think it was a problem but then we all know vets aren't all exactly nutrition experts. I just want to do what's best for my dog just like everybody else. Even if Eagle Pack says it's fine I can't be sure without real actuals, and I don't think they will say it's ok, because the link to the greatdane lady Herschel posted in this thread says it's not a good thing to do and she practically IS Eagle Pack. Her links to "why' are dead links, so I am right back where I started. With an opinion regarding balance that defies the math. Still she does offer links to other foods besides Eagle Pack that she recommends, so she can't be all THAT subjective. Then Team Canidae says no it's not ok but yes it is. So maybe I am just waiting to hear what I want to hear and that's not very scientific either. Still, the Ferret in me wants something more definitive past the belief or assumption. Im sure it must be out there or so many experts wouldn't be agreeing, right?
