My husband is obsessed with dog food!

Well, that is a funny title. It is true. My husband is obsessed with dog food. He doesn't eat it himself, although it is human grade so he could. He is obsessed with what we feed our dog Ellie-Mae. If you strike up a conversation with him about what you feed your dog, he will become obsessed with your dogs meals also. When we rescued Ellie she was about 5 months old. The food that she was fed at the shelter was a mixture of many different types of food that had been donated to the shelter. She seemed to have a little bit of a sensitive stomach, so we started to do our research on different dog foods. I eat as much Natural and Organic foods as I can, and that was the route I was going while shopping for Ellie's meals. My husband took it to a whole new level. He started asking everyone he knew about their dogs and what they fed their dogs. He found a great site that rated dog food brands. ( www.dogfoodanalysis.com) This made for very long trips to shop for Ellie's food. He would walk around the store looking at different brands while researching the brand for the star rating on his iphone.  
After trying out a few different brands, FROMM (Grain Free) has become his and Ellie's favorite brand of dog food. A 26 LB bag is around $55 which some people say is crazy. I rationalize it this way. Our dog is happy and healthy. Studies show that dog foods filled with byproducts and fillers decrease your dogs health and longevity. If your dog was sick, I guarantee you would spend as much money as it would take to make your dog better, or to save your dogs life. Rather than waiting until there is a problem with your dogs health, why not invest in your dogs health and wellness throughout their life.
