Omega-3 Improves Your Pet Health

Why do people say that Purina and Iams and other cheaper food are such good dog food. Then other peole say it’s not. Personally I don’t believe its the best, but will it really hurt my dog? We’ve had previous dogs who lived very long poductive lives with very cheap dog food. They never had many health problems either. I thought that the AAFCO was supposed to have done tests on it and proved it to be ok? So will it really hurt my dog or is it ok to get it for her?

Alrighty, I feel like I have a legitimate question:
We have 3 dogs two are in puppy stage pretty close to young adult stage and one just went into young adult stage.
Question is: Is there a real purpose to switching her to “adult” dog food from large breed puppy dog food since she is still SO active like a puppy or can it wait until maybe 5 or 6 months from now when the other two are ready to switch also? (also it will save me from having to purchase seperate dog food, and although this is not as important as her health is sure would be more simple)
She is a healthy weight and size the vet checked her out and she has no health problems– just checking to see if there is a benefit to switching to adult food right this second?
Thanks

My son is about to start school next week and we just got back from our parent teacher meeting. This year there is a child in school that has an allergy to nuts/tree nuts. Therefore all nut products are banned from school. No big deal, we aren’t big peanut butter eaters and my son prefers cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. So it will not be a problem at all. But this part is. The parents of this child are now demanding that we not eat any peanut products or products manufactured in a plant that manufacture nut products. These people are actually telling us how to eat in our own homes. If I want to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies for an after school snack for my kids, I can’t. If I eat a granola bar before picking up my son from school I have to shower and change clothes. These parents are refusing any type of compromise regarding the peanut products at home.
Now there is another family saying that their child is allergic to milk/wheat, they now want to ban dairy products and wheat products from lunch.
Another parent has a child severely allergic to pet dander from cats/dogs, and want families to now put their children’s school clothing in plastic bags and also put their backpacks in bags as well so their child doesn’t get exposed to pet hair.
What are we supposed to do? I am all for protecting these kids, but is this going too far? I have two children that I am responsible for and now I’m responsible for the health and well being of all of these others. What am I supposed to do? If I send the wrong thing to school I can kill someone, and now I am responsible for that.
Do you think that maybe we should home school our children so that something they eat doesn’t kill someone? What should we do?

Does your dog skip a few meals to try and get some human food or a better meal then eat one meal and then hold out some more for a few meals again?
How long does this continue for?
I feed Innova dry, my dog does not have health problems, I feed twice a day 20 min each, if she doesn’t eat, I take it away. 8am and 5pm.

My dog has a tendency for Calcium Oxalate stones in the bladder. I have been told that dog foods with Corn, wheat, and soy as the base ingredients are horrible for dogs and can cause health problems in the future and possible allergy problems. So, What type of diet can I feed my dog that will help avoid Calcium Oxalate stones and will also avoid using corn, wheat and soy?
Currently I am feeding a diet that is made by my vet that costs $50.00 for 16 lbs. It must contain corn because my dog’s feet smell like corn chips. (This is what people are telling me) What to do?
