I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. ~Gilda Radner

I just find it annoying in general when someone doesn't give a crap about the nutrients their dog is getting. When I found out how disgusting some foods are (foods I found out I was feeding my own dog previously!) with having euthanized pets, roadkill, and other disgusting things in it, my parents still thought it's fine to feed it to her. The dog doesn't know what she's eating and doesn't care. I know maybe I am personifying my dog, but I seriously doubt she'd willingly cannibalize her own species.
Some argue it's better to have the dog eat unhealthy food than be homeless. I can see their point, but if you are going to have a dog, I think you should also invest in their health. We are responsible for them once we take them into our home. Dogs need a healthy diet too.
I agree. The way I feel about owning an animal is that when you agree to take a dog into your home, you are agreeing to take proper care of it which includes making sure it is getting the best vet care possible, the exercise it needs, the love and attention they need, and *the proper food*. Feeding dogs crap food just because it's cheap should be considered neglect, but sadly, it isn't.
I should edit that. I make it sound like I am rubbing raw in people's faces. I should say a high quality food. Not all people are comfortable with raw. So those who aren't comfortable with raw should feed a high quality kibble.
