Petcurean has come out with a first of it's kind replacing it's line of Go canned foods. It is a wet food that is cooked at a lower temperature than traditional canned foods and is cooked in tetra paks . I have fed freeze dried raw and Petcurean canned for years and this is a new idea that I think will be followed by other companies. They have always been a top quality and safety company . I usually don't like recommending foods, as every dog is different and price also becomes an issue for many. They have a nice limited ingredient one. Molly transitioned from chicken stew canned to the new tetra pak shredded chicken no problem. :wink2: here's the link https://www.petcurean.com/new-go-solutions-wet-food-faqs/

Will check it out.

I've been using Honest Kitchen dehydrated human-dog food, broth, topping it with a few their crunches, with pieces of fresh chicken I cook. Patti no longer will eat unless I top it off with Chicken Pieces.

My daughter just ordered NomNomNow ... which is fresh food cooked and frozen in one meal pouches.

All good food is expensive.

I thought this was a good article on the different types of dog food.... the Pros and Cons (Kibble, Raw, Cooked) and portion sizes depending on age and size of dog.

I'm using Honest Kitchen and my daughter has put her Golden-doodle on Fresh Cooked food by NomNomnow.

I'm not advocating any particular brand of dog food. My only advocacy would be for good nutritious food.

I thought I had heard all the arguments against raw feeding but this article actually raises some new ones.

The article says some vets may not treat a raw fed dog. As a raw feeder for ten years, I have never had this situation. In fact I have had two vets who support raw feeding and one of them has a certified nutritionist on staff. I am not saying this is not true. However, I have never seen this.

The article says that a raw fed dog must not lick you and you must not touch its paws or any fur that has come into contact with raw food. If this were true, I would be dead by now. Dogs lick their butts, eat poop and step in squirrel droppings so what about that?

The article says raw food diets typically are too high in fat. This may be true with some commercial raw food or may not, depending on the source. I am sure there are fresh food companies that are better than others, just like raw. People who feed a homemade raw diet need to be careful about the amount of fat they feed, along with everything else.

I am also all for feeding good nutritious food regardless of type. Fresh sounds like a great option. However, this article was written by a company who sells fresh and they come across a bit bias against raw IMO.
