    I been feeding it for over two yrs, with no problems... dogs love it and look good on it...lol but they are using by-products, so it's not worth the full price...

    Dog food manufacturers/companies been lying since the first dog food was ever created LOL Do you really think they are going to list ROAD KILL on the back of there bags as one of the main ingredients? LMAO

    If you think kibble is bad, try and compare kibble with a Mcdonalds cheeseburger and french fries....at least after a year the kibble starts to spoil but them cheeesburgers and fries are kept preserved forever LMAO.

    When raw is sourced properly, it averages out to about the same price as high dollar kibble.

    I have one dog on Blue and the other on a full raw. The dog on Blue, her shit lookes the same as a dog on cheap kibble, the other on raw eats like a horse, but shits like a cat. The reason is the raw is much more digestible and contains no unusable ingredients, hence less waste.

    There is no comparison. Not to mention you can custom taylor the mix to meet various demands of cycles like bulking, cardio, winter etc....

    I used blue buffalo too for a while and it gave my dogs mutt butt..they had diarrhea bad..I then used 4health at the tractor supply and that's ok food but the dogs didn't like it much..now I'm on diamond and It works well for me..I try and use 30/20 protein fat ratio or close too when I choose a dog food

    30/20 imo is not a maintenance feed

    I don't know where you get your raw food from, but when I feed raw, it's about 1-2 dollars cheaper than the kibble I fed... averages out to about 1.50 per lb

    I loved TOTW, fed it for a long time as an all life stage diet. The dogs shit looked no different to me than when I feed raw. As I started keeping more and more I had to switch as I was blowing though a 54 dollar bag of feed every 4 days and I ain't Ballin like that. I've fed Diamonds naturals now for about 2 years and I like it. Shits are small, not as small as raw but not as big as Purina. They all look good on it so I just stick with it. I never fed BB because it cost just as much as TOTW and I feel TOTW is a much better kibble. It's all garbage in fancy packaging regardless of brand when comparing to raw. I don't have the time, resources or freezer space to do raw though as a primary diet, I do it in cycles. Maybe if I only had 2 or 3 dogs.

    I fed pure balance (made by ol roy) for a while... it wasn't to bad...

    Bb is prolly one of my biggest sellers @ work & its huge in the pet crowd. However, as far as quality goes.... i think theyre marketing is actually better than theyre food. When it comes down to kibble, i agree on totw.....buuuutttt in reality its all crap. Even a limited ingredient raw diet is better than high dollar kibble.

    The loose stool is due to the increase of protein seen in high quality feed. You didn't give your dog enough time to adjust. You could of/should of started adding it in slowly.

    All kibble is, is fast food for dogs. You wouldn't expect to raise a healthy child on McDonald's do you? At least McDonald's you actually get a little bit of something that resembles meat in a beef Patty maybe. I would never feed my dog dehydrated brown pellets ever again.
    Raw food diet all day every day.

    depending on time of year and your location you could substitute bought protein with venison. Deer carcasses are free from processors. Plenty of meaty bones and the pluck (organs). Most guys are happy to be able to give them to someone that can use them instead of throwing them away.
