Kirk...

Everything I've ever read about the pet food industry is just plain scary. It is a totally unregulated industry.

We've had our dog on the BARF diet Bone And Raw Food) but have also used an organic, all natural kibble we purchsed from the pet store on the Danforth... I can't remember the name now but they have two brands. One is from the US and other is from Germany (I think).

My dog and cat have little to no tarter build up on their teeth...

A study I read, showed that large breed dogs like Danes and Wolf Hounds live to about 9 years old in North America but live to about 15+ in Europe. The difference was the food we feed them here. It's mostly garbage.

My old neighbours bred wolfhounds. They fed them an all natural diet and have never had issues with joint deterioration (that the breed is know for) and most of their dogs live to 13+...

EDIT: just remembered one of the foods: FROMM Family (http://www.frommfamily.com/)... here is a list of other foods, most of which use human grade food: http://www.petfooddirect.com/store/d...sp?dept_id=130
