Very true. When I buy dry feed I use a 24-20 brand. It is cheap(er) and nothing to write home about.
I add raw meats but there is no rhyme nor reasoning to what I add. Basically, whatever I can get on the cheap (and nothing seems to be cheap anymore).
I use a lot of eggs. The chickens go on a laying spree, and we don't eat them at the rate they are laying at times.
I have always been interested in how people feed these dogs. Couple that with people are wildly successful feeding in just about every way.
I met an older fellow once down in the Pee Dee area of SC. He worked at a chicken house, and they pretty much gave him the eggs that were not fertile. He brought home by the five-gallon bucket. He had a big wash tub where he boiled rice and whatever scraps be he had from the house. Just as the rice was just about cooked he dumped in the five-gallon bucket of eggs. When it was just about cool, he added a scoop of dried goat's milk. He stirred it all together with a boat paddle. He fed bulldogs and coon dogs and beagles. I only heard the stroies of his rabbit dogs, but his coon dogs were top notch. His bulldogs were solid. They all looked healthy and performed well.
It is really easy to knock holes all thru his feed plan based on science and the advances in canine nutrition and supplementation. He was getting to the same place I was getting but for pennies on the dollar.
Always interested in other's approach.
