What is a good holistic (natural) dog food?
13 Sep 2008
I'm looking for a top quality 100% natural pre-mix dog food. I have previously used Dr. Harvey's, but would like to try another just for comparison. I don't mean a dry or canned food. Something that you mix with water, and cook yourself.
Have you looked at Oma's Pride or Steve's? Bravo? Do a google for premade raw diets. I don't know of many freeze dried add water type of diets that meet the criteria of being 'all natural'. Why not just feed raw?
ETA: I feed Dr.. Harveys brand Exotic Parrot to my African Grey. I have never tried any of Dr. Harveys for dogs but looked at it. We feed raw and it seems more like a BARF diet.

Why would you go to all that trouble? Why don't you just feed the dog table food? Just be careful-no bones, very easy on pepper or onions, and salt. Your dog can eat almost anything you eat-even ice cream. There is nothing holy about dog food. All of that holistic natural premix stuff is just a bunch or hocus pokus anyway. Yes, its better than commercial dog food like Purina or Alpo. You are not doing your dog any favors by feeding that expensive natural premix stuff. You can buy human grade ground meats for half the price of that Dr Harvey's all Natural food.
