Sources that have let me in on their SECRET to a Healthy Dog.
( A.K.A....tidbits of useless information)

This INFO is ONLY personal knowledge. No scientific data to back it up.


1. Many, many years ago our long time VET inquired as to how we kept our dogs coats so shiny and healthy and how they seemed so active and alert.....We explained OUR dogs ONLY ate MEOW-MIX Cat Food....Within a year he told us that HE NOW fed his personal dogs Meow-mix. ( ... but asked us to keep it on the Down-Low since he sold high-end $$ Dog Food to his customers...)
NOTE: For the past 30 years, ALL our dogs and those of family members have been fed Meow-Mix or the equivalant Cat food.

2. Friend was a handler for a "Drug-Sniffer" dog. He kept her at his home.
We went out one day to get dog food for HIS Dog. When he grabbed several bags of Meow-Mix, I asked, "do you also have a cat ?". He replied " My Dog can't READ.....So I feed her Meow-Mix and she stays healthy and I don't need a grain shovel to lift her deposits from the lawn.

3. Youngest son adopted a retired German Shepherd male who previously was a Police Dog. (The previous handler was unable to keep the dog). He had to sign an agreement to feed the dog Meow-Mix, since that was what the Dog had ALWAYS been fed. Another stipulation required 1 level teaspoon of White Vinegar per gallon of drinking water to help quell the dogs rampant arthritis.

4. Rumor has it that a certain "Bomb-Sniffer" Dog only ate Meow-Mix. The dog checked out sites prior to the arrival of a U.S. V-P. Since the Dog worked for a Service that was kind of Secret, unable to disclose any additional data.

Check the analysis on the label. You might be surprised. IMHO, corn based dog food sometimes creates large lawn deposits and unhealthy working dogs. If one has a WORKING dog, perhaps cat food is a viable alternative. However, if the dog is a couch potato and an UNLUCKY dog with no where to run (i.e. The Villages based dogs) might be better to consult a VET, who does not sell high end dog food, before changing any feeding plan.
