On Sunday my wife and I stopped at a Whole Foods Market to get some supplements for her cold. While we were there we decided to get some lunch and sit outside to enjoy the day.
As I was just about to eat a fork full of brussell sprouts I nearly jumped out of my chair. This little kid sitting at the table next to us screamed:
THE WORLD’S GOING TO END! DADDY’S EATING TOFU!
Rach and I were laughing because everyone could hear the kid. As Dad was trying to quiet him the wife walked up and said, "You’re eating tofu and the world hasn’t ended yet?"
I guess he doesn’t like tofu.
Anyway, as we walking away I said to Rach, "It’s funny how some foods create such a controversy."
As I was thinking about it the same thing happens with dog food. One of the big topics on the internet today is dog food and nutrition.
Dog lovers are constantly discussing and debating questions like…
What is the best food? Should you ever give your dog people food? Is feeding raw food good for your dog? What foods should you never give your dog?
After all, we all want the best for our dogs.
The reason I got interested in dog food and nutrition was because my dog Sammi. She developed a terrible skin and coat condition and nothing helped.
Her condition was finally solved through a major diet change. I felt that I should write about it and share what happened to my dog and what I learned.
That’s why I decided to write the "The Ultimate Dog Food Guide" and you can get it free…
I have a couple of finishing touches to put on it and you’ll be able to get it soon. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready.
All the best,
Eric

Hi,
I can hardly wait to read your insight on dog food, as I sense our opinions are similar
I used to feed my Golden Retriever super premium food (I will not mention the brand, but it’s one of the best, no grain fillers) and she did not develop pretty well in spite of supplements. So I switched to raw…incredible changes in just two months! She is still developing, so I was amazed! Her bones are now much thicker, fur is beautiful and shiny…People did not recognize her! And I clearly did not expect changes to be so clear after just 2 months, but it’s been now 5 months and I am absolutely pleased with the results. I gave away the remaining bag of dog food
Anyway I am so sorry I did not have the courage to switch her the moment I got her from the breeder. But I have learned my lesson the hard way
I’m looking forward to it. I’m big into studying nutrition and always respect your insights on all things dog related.
Hey Eric,
I’m an amateur dog trainer and I talk food nonstop with my clients and it solves 90% of all problems hands down. The biggest thing I’m curious about is Rice, Oats and Barley. Do they have benefits or is Grain-Free really the way to go? I look forward to your article!
