NOTE- I AM NOT GOING TO FEED EITHER FOOD NOR DO I PLAN TO. JUST CURIOUS.
I thought that the Purina ONE is probably the best even though I know that both are crap.

I’m open to ALL opinions!

(Unless you are going to rant at me how great your food is….and try to get me to feed it….or tell me that Iams & Purina are good foods….)
Seriously, people, come ON!

I didn’t say you had to feed it…what has a better quality of ingredients?

And I’m not looking for recommendations…I feed the raw diet and am happy with it.
jeepgirl, Nekkid, BYB’s, and Brian did not answer my question.

Sheltiemom- yes all the formulas contain corn.
Sheltiemom did not answer my question either.

Why can’t anyone seem to do that?
Chaos- I wasn’t trying to fight!!
GOD can’t I ask a fucking simple question?
Hm will maybe you shouldn’t act like it!!!!!!!!!!

And you can’t tell the future either. You don’t know if they will ever do tests.

And I”M done arguing. Blocked, because I can’t ask a simple question without crap.
BYBs-

2. No you did not

What’s a GRAIN-FREE food I could use for my Aussie.?

I will Not exccept Purina, Pedigree, Iams, Science Diet, etc brands. Thank you.

I originally feed Canidae but still it has rice etc in it. As of now I am feeding Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s soul and she does even better on it than Canidae BUT i found they use ethoxyquin to preserve their fish meal so I need to find something els.

Where do you get the good quality dog foods like canidae ect?

I live in a small town, next to a small city, and i can’t find the good dog foods any where. i feed my dog iams, and i know its not the best. where are all the canidae dog foods and the other high quality dog foods? i have found a dog food called profile, and it looks to be healthy, lots of vegatbles, rice, and its preserved in vitamin E. where are all the other dog foods? Does this “profile” one sound good?
