Aj, cook up a broth with vegetables and shredded chicken, or go all raw but no processed food.

Sending lots of love and healing to all of you and your dogs.. It should be noted Aj, that all kibble is processed (even the best and higher quality brands). The cooking process for kibble depletes any nutritional value of the ingredients. After the cooking process, kibble is then sprayed with more processed vitamins and and one of the main ingredients found in anti-freeze. This is how the commercial pet food companies are able to list nutritional information provided on the dog food label. It is a bit deceiving, and there currently there is no regulation provided in the United States for the labeling of such ingredients. In whole, it is the actual cooking process of kibble that makes it an inadequate form of nutrition. Dogs can survive on this diet for many years, but they will not thrive. It is equivalent to you and I eating processed food or fast food every day of our lives and expecting that it will sustain our health. Its all about diet and balance. Unfortunately, Pedigree happens to be one of the poorer quality brands based on the ingredients used, including animal biproducts and rotten meat that is ground up to make the kibble. Although your efforts are incredibly well-intended, it is realized that most loving and caring pet parents that are willing to do anything for the well-being of our pets have been deceived into thinking we have been providing them adequate nutrition. It should be noted here, that even veterinarians are not provided adequate education regarding nutrition in their veterinary schools, and the very short lived and limited amount of nutrition education they are provided is sponsored by the commercial pet food companies (an obvious conflict of interest). This is also why most vets push inadequate foods for some pets, such as Science Diet, and are offered kickbacks for promoting the sale in their offices. It is entirely unfortunate. The significant rise of dog/cat allergies and ailments, cancer, and most disease is a result of the pet ancestors surviving on the inadequate diets beginning with the commercialization of pet food during the 20th century. I hope this little bit of info helps. Best wishes to you and your dog!
