I was searching the internet and came across a couple of articles on feeding, one from Golden Retriever Club of Central New York, and the other from Dr. Dolittler (honest I am not making it up). I am posting the sites and asking for comments.

I admit I only skimmed the first article (that site keeps freezing for me). But it leaves me with questions.

Why are Bil-Jacs by-products "good" and Science Diet's by-products (ground, rendered, wholesome parts of the chicken - includes white meat, dark meat, liver and viscera - the chickens are sourced from human grade processing plants) bad?

She explains why lamb and race are no longer suitable as novel ingredients when testing for alergies because they are so over-used - but then says a dog food should contain multiple animal protien sources - which would lead to the same problem. She says she believes beef is best for golden retrievers but I didnt see why?


The second article I guess shows that dogs can lose weight without using a supplement? I dont know what slentrol is. It makes sense that cutting back on the amount of food and treats would help them lose weight. It certainly does not prove that the high protien foods caused the weight loss.
