basicly, commercial dog food are those you get from the supermarket
they dog food made from garbage...
road kills, horse hoof , chicken beak/feet, etc (read it from a book)
all the things you wouldnt feed your children.
They call them by products.

some quotes from the website
"According to the research of dog care expert Andrew Lewis, your cat and dog are even eating GROUND UP CAT AND DOG:
"The city of Los Angeles alone, for example, sends some two hundred tons of euthanized cats and dogs to a pet food plant every month. Not only is this immoral and disgusting... it's deadly. The true horror is the drug used to kill these stray and abandoned animals, Sodium Pentobarbital, is not broken down by the manufacturing process and is still present in active form in your dog's food!!"
"And dog food companies don't stop with pets, your dog is also eating euthanized animals from zoos, animal control and putrid, decaying road kill. All of these dead animals and other ghastly materials are processed until the portion left over for dog food production is a brown powder, which consists of ...25% fecal matter - yes, 25% animal ----!" Howard F. Lyman, Author "

i feed my pets holistic dog food... yes they are more expensive..
but if you love your pet like you love your children, you wouldn't give them such food would u?
i love my mochi loads and i'm trying my best to provide him good food
(his new toy which was totally destroyed couple of hours later)
mochi : can we play tennis ?
mochi : why take my racket away ?
black and white buddies hehe
yep so feed your doggy good food so they'll grow to be healthy
smart
big, haha... actually they should grow accordingly
growing to fast and too large at a fast pace is not good for large dogs
reason is that their hips might not be able to cope with their weight
and it might develop Hips dysplasia
(though HD are commonly genetic.. it can also be caused by environment like slippery floor and weight)
mochi happy by himself
happier when with us haha...
