Re: Dry Dog food whats the best out there ? ................

[QUOTE=LucyJ;786659]I have had excellent results with Orijen, the Purina research you refer to is pro high protein diets
Purina Research Report 1997 – Vol. 0, VET 6115

No, that's a piece writen about geriatric dogs!

There was interesting research done a few years ago by Purina where they kept a group of dogs on their normal diet, and a second group on a lower protein/fat diet and followed them through to the end of their lives. They found that the group on the restricted diet were leaner and healthier and lived longer than the control group.

This confirms what companies like Burns have known for decades, and why these types of food are so good for treating conditions such as poor digestion, skin problems, obesity, bad breath etc.
