DCM is a serious but rare condition. Of the 77 million dogs in the U.S., 0.5% to 1% have DCM, and of those dogs with DCM, fewer than 0.1% are speculated to have DCM related to diet, although that is not scientifically proven

Am I better off making it myself?
You can make dog food yourself, but the issue is that they need certain nutrients that won't be provided by just meat and veg. I assume this company factors that in to their recipes.
I don't remember too much, but I know the times I've looked into it, you had to mix in egg shells every so often for calcium and things like that.

You can order from Ollie or another company like that.
Or you can make it yourself. Easiest way is raw meat, eggs (and shells) and dynovite.
It takes 2 hours and you can make 8 days worth.
I have a giant dog so Ollie just got too expensive (it was great and we loved it). We can make our own for half the price.

I'm not certain, but I do not expect O'l Roy to be "grain free". So I guess they are safe,,,, from this diagnosis.
I think you missed the point of his post. He’s basically saying people that spend the money on higher end grain free dog food will also spend the money to get a proper diagnosis.
Those that buy ol Roy will likely just put their dog down (or it will just die), without an expensive array of tests for diagnosis.
Thus, it may not be the food. It may just be that this clientele is more likely to spend the money to actually get a diagnosis while Ol Roy and Purina eaters get this disease too.
BTW, for those Purina supporters...Purina has been recalled a number of times and they have been sued for thousands of dog deaths

I’m interested in a raw diet, does that company ship to you?
Am I better off making it myself?
They don’t ship to me, they deliver to a small all natural pet store out here. I’d suggest searching for some around you, what area are you in? They may offer shipping and I’d look into them!
We tried cooking his food - 1 part protein 2 parts veggies (he was recovering from kidney disease that’s why we went with those portions). It was cheaper, but it took us like 4 hrs a week to prep. Plus, we weren’t doing organic all of the time, and for his situation we needed to be. Upon the advice of someone who has been doing raw diet for years for her animals, we switched to something pre-made as they include all the blood, organs, etc. Dogs need the balance in their diet
Guess the answer is depends if you have the time / patience to make it yourself. Plan to do a bit of research. Happy to answer any questions you have, there are a couple of supplements we have added to help his digestion as well.

Your vet gets paid by the company to sell that shite. Will even send their child to vet school for free if they sell enough bags.
Not a single word of this is even remotely true

Veterinarians take 1 course in school regarding nutrition and it’s put on by Hills, Purina, or Iam’s.
Also some of their equipment is paid for by these same companies in exchange for them putting bags of their dog/cat food in the front of their store.
Also not true. Where do you people get this shite from?

I feed mine Muenster Milling. No recalls, 5 star rated at Dog Food Advisor and is sourced and produced in USA (Muenster, TX.)
It’s considerably more expensive that most brands found at pet speciality stores but I see the difference in my pooch. I order it direct from the manufacturer.
Two other brands to consider are Annamaet (just as expensive as MM - not found in big box or specialty stores either) and Canidae (less expensive than first two mentioned, however it can be found at Petco and Petsmart).

Talked to my vet yesterday afternoon and he recommend I get off Taste of the Wild.
We found a Purina Pro Focus with no poultry that we will phase into his diet and see how that goes.
Thanks for the thread and your insight

Just bought another 30 lb bag of Victor Lamb and Sweet potato grain free. Been using that the Hero beef for 3+ years, changed from multiple TOTW back then. Normally mix lamb and beef, but I don't like buying 60 lbs during hot weather for storage purposes. The 2 of them get plenty of brisket, chicken, leg of lamb, etc when training, plus they both like numerous fruits and vegetables, + kefir or plain Greek yogurt. Vet has asked multiple times what I feed the 11 year old. No problems on senior panel work ups, Victor seems to be very HQ food with no recalls.

i know, a while back, the Vet recommended Blue Buffalo, and we bought that pretty much exclusively... was supposed to be this great dog food, but evidently, it wasn't...
Posted on 7/2/19 at 4:17 pm to AubieALUMdvm
I remember the good ole days of feeding them whatever. You know, because they were dogs.

I switched from Purina pro plan to the Canidae all stage. I just want to see if there is a difference after a few months. If there isnt he will go back on Purina.

Speaking for the hipsters, of course.
Most pets are fat and out of shape from eating the hipster food.
I had an eight year old hunting beagle that I sold. The new owner bred her when she was eleven and she raised five healthy puppies. I never read a dog food label. She ate Diamond, and Sportsmix 24/20. She was still hunting hard at age thirteen before a tumor killed her.

wtf. blue buffalo is what we've been using for years.
