My poor baby girl is having allergies and I don't know why because I gave her nothing but her normal diet of lamb and chicken

@Viper yeah, we've figured out beef is a trigger. Possibly buffalo also. For months she has been A okay on just lamb and chicken.

@Stressedout whom else had access to give her food?

Also, I'm learning about how much of a difference it makes what the animals are...


Such as grain fed beef or chicken vs grass fed beef or chicken can make a freaking huge difference as well.

@Viper indeed. It's easy to throw together a bunch of cheap easy to produce shit with a pretty label and call it a great dog food, when actually, it's a bunch of cheap unhealthy shit!

I have her on taste of the wild and it's good stuff

@Stressedout Yeah I was surprised to learn how big of a difference humans omega 6 to omega 3 ratios are for our bodies as well.

Sounds like ideally we'd have about a 1:1 ratio of moderate amounts of both (also too much or too little of them are bad as well).

Well the average American diet might be worse than a 15:1 ratio with too many Omega 6, and not enough Omega 3.


Why? Because Omega 6 oils are cheaper and anyone trying to save money (ie most people and all companies) will use the the Omega 6 to produce their foods.

@Viper Interesting, I haven't gotten much into the omega knowledge. Very cool. Thanks for sharing that
