My Abby had lots of skin issues because of stuff in kibble. The more ingredients the itchier she would be. Of course the fewer ingredients the higher the price would go. I also made a lot of her food during her later years as well as fed her a raw food diet. Her skin issues cleared up quickly with it and she had the whitest teeth of any of my dogs.
Watch this video of a dog eating raw chicken quarters....Abby ate it the same way. I remember standing over her the first few times while she crunched through the bones because I was certain she was going to choke to death. I'll see if I can find the thread from before on making dog food....
