I think that whatever side of the fence one sits on any given topic there are studies that prove you are right. For every study promoting a single kibble product there are two more showing the effects of their recall. Vets, who of all people should be the most knowledgeable, fight like cats and dogs over food choices. It really comes down to personal preference for each individual person. I have fed a number of different ways over the years based on these factors, 3.. the amount of time I have per feeding. 2. cost what I am feeding multiplied by the number of dogs. 1. how I see the dogs on whatever feed plan I am working with. I try to find a happy medium between the three. I personally like RAW and it is cheaper for me to feed that way. The issue is time as I work 50-55 hours a week with an hour drive each way. Time plays a big factor. I try to keep around 10 grown dogs and a handful of puppies. If I could find the perfect bag of of food that did not cost an arm and a leg I would go that route. If it were cost effective, easy to acquire, easy to prepare and the dogs looked/performed well on it I would be offering up my double blind study on my way and the rest of you people that did not agree with me would just be plain idiots.
