Reply #5: i barely cook at all

[mopinko]

hubby does most of the cooking, and my kids are finally learning as well. so, i don't think i'll be cooking for the dog. but my friend gets me the best stuff on the market. she feeds her own dogs human grade foods. i don't go quite that far, but i don't buy that cheap stuff either.
that said, in all honesty, i think a lot of the stuff in that thread is exaggerated. pets are in better health than ever in this country. my dogs have all lived to be very, very old. and most had few health problems along the way. mutts and purebreds alike. there is crap in there, but we live on a crap filled planet these days. i just can't worry about everything.
