Having watched this video I'm even more convinced that if you want your dogs (and other animals) to enjoy a long and healthy life the best way to start is to avoid commercial pet food.
Preparing human quality food for our animals is not the preserve of the very wealthy it should be done by all of us who care for our animals.
Ditto! the above comments.
Most off the shelf (especially Grocery brands—ie “Mass Produced” for Price that can be found in the Grocery Store Shelves)–are NOT fit to feed to a Dung Beetle—much less a FAMILY MEMBER like a Dog.

Always make sure the food you buy your dog is “HUMAN GRADE”—if you read on the label ANYTHING that says “not fit for Human Consumption” (or verbiage to that effect–DO NOT feed it to your dog!!!).

A lot of pet food companies are perfectly happy to the dump cheap leftovers and things that aren't safe for human consumption (from human food processing plants) into their foods. Will it kill your [dog]? No, it has to be nutritionally complete and safe to even be marketed. Is it healthy? Not by a long shot.

I REALLY WISH more people would “WAKE UP” to this—and realize ladies like this are NOT the “crazy dog lady”—she's doing a SERVICE to her dog.
Completely agree. I feed my three dogs home cooked human grade food every day. I put it into the slow cooker at lunchtime and they get a real meal at dinner time. I have fed all my dogs this way and they have all lived beyond the time they were supposed to.
