Thanks for your experiences and advice. As for raw, I feel like it is a little bit expensive to get high quality meat for people to eat, so I think dog-worthy raw ingredients might be a tad tricky....sadly haha As a teacher though, we have a choice of 4 food stations at my school, kinda like in a food court. I figured, I might also sneakily fill a tupperware with fruit & cooked chicken/duck breast to bring home to him everyday to go alongside his kibble haha
Another brand I have seen recommended through researching blog type websites is Canidae. This brand is available here in these varieties: LifeStages & Grain Free Pure.
