breeder keeps telling me kibble is poison and my vet keeps rolling her eyes

8 month lab, healthy, normal poop, shiny enough personality if not coat lol. Breeder sends long messages about raw every time I ask a basic question. Vet says current large-breed puppy kibble is fine and not to freelance calcium. I am tired of feeling like I'm picking a religion instead of dinner.

Large breed puppy nutrition is the place where I listen to boarded nutrition people and close the app.

Feed what you can do safely and consistently. The dog doesn't care about the discourse.

If the pup is doing well and your vet is happy, I would mute the breeder essays.

My breeder was fantastic about temperament and absolutely bananas about food.

Kibble is not poison. Bad Facebook groups might be, though.

Raw evangelists always act like Purina personally keyed their car.

'picking a religion instead of dinner' is the dog food internet in one sentence

Don't mess with calcium on your own. That's the one line I'd keep bolded in my brain.

Yeah that part scared me enough to stop taking forum advice from shirtless men with freezers.
