Forgive me if this topic has already been coverd. I did try searching but didn't find specifically what I was looking for.
So, I am wondering what everyone's feelings are on home prepared versus high quality commercial dog foods?
Because up until now we always had large dogs & quite a number of them (8 at one stage) it just wasn't practical for me to be preparing home made meals for the dogs. However old father time has changed all that and our number & breed is smaller, so I'm toying with the idea of trialling home prepared or at least mostly home prepared meals for the dogs. I'm thinking along the lines of cooked up meats, veg, rice & other grains and also occasional raw meats (human consumption quality) & bones. I'd still like to feed the occasional meal of high quality kibble too as that can be extremely convenient on occasions.
Anyway, I would like to hear what you are all doing re feeding, why you chose the method you did, and what the advantages & disadvantages are for both you and your dogs.
Many thanks!
