Also, He is 10 months old, he had been on the puppy formula that the breeders
recommended. Now he is gaining weight, my husband wants to get the store brand
regular food, I am willing to spend more, but need to be able to show him, the reason
why. My previous dog, was a mixed bread, he lived 15 healthy years, he weighed between
60-70.. most his life, at 11 years old I took him the the vet, and she looked
at his teeth, and said she thought by how good his teeth were, that she thought
he was around 3 years old, saying he had Great teeth, other than old age, he never had
health problems, we fed him purina one, and now because of this, Leo my husband wants
to get this for our Beagle. I am concerned because he is a different breed, and so much more
food motivated, than my previous dog.
Thanks for any suggestions and help, I have been doing some research, but am
lost still..

I've been reading some of the back posts and I saw one that says dogs are carnivores. Dogs are actually omnivores as are humans. It is cats who are carnivores and they actually require more protein than dogs. It's true that vets and stores often push a certain pet food brand. For decades it was all Science Diet. But I have found several vets in the last few years who are the opposite. In fact they've all told me that Purina was just fine. Then someone said they don't study nutrition in vet school, which if it's true, is kind of weird! I even had to study nutrition in nursing school! The by-product thing doesn't disturb me too much because dogs in the wild will eat anything! I once had a dog that ate an entire rodent! As long as it's not the dead carcasses of euthanized pets (and that rumor circulates too.)

this is a tricky one. Scientificly dogs are carnivours. They have onivore tendancies. Although they can eat other stuff they are classified scentificly as carnivores.

Canis familiaris - modern dog,
Canis familiaris, is a direct descendent of the gray wolf, Canis lupus.

Carnivore vs. Omnivore
Carnivore vs. Omnivore (Protein or Carbohydrate)

All dog families as well as the cat are members of the Order Carnivora meaning they evolved as carnivores described in the scientific literature as a flesh eating predatory member of the animal kingdom. Has the dog diet changed that much throughout the years? Let’s take a closer look.
Wild dogs prefer to hunt in packs seeking a dog diet rich in meat sources in the form of small or large animal prey and occasionally are seen including berries, fruit and some plant parts in their diet. This behavior poses some ethical questions - are a few berries and plant parts enough to justify calling our canine friends quasi-omnivores and consequently justify the large amount of carbohydrate we find in almost every commercially prepared diet today?
The answer is No! Anatomically the dog is still a carnivore requiring a hight protein dog food. No one disputes this fact. Scientists also agree that physiologically the dog does not require any carbohydrate at all in its diet, as they are able to sustain normal blood glucose levels by metabolizing fat and protein into energy. Metabolically, the dog has a few characteristics of omnivores such as the conversion of carotene to Vitamin A, Tryptophan to Niacin, Cysteine to Taurine and Linoleic acid to Arachidonic acid. These are four out of the thousands of metabolic decisions made daily in the dog.

I'm a former dog food salesman with 13 years in the business. I've seen fads come and go, visited untold dog food factories (not pretty), and listened to every sales pitch there is. My opinion is that almost all commercial dog foods contain ingredients your dog would never eat in the wild. It comes down to common sense sometimes. What I feed is a raw diet.

From my experience I understood that dogs delight to eat bully sticks (it's a sort of a Dog Treats) But I'm not sure about Homemade treats, Does anyone knows about this?

[brandypup]

bully sticks are good. So are certain homemade treats. I didn't click your links since you only have one post to your name.
