Urban Wolf - do you use it? Feedback please... - Page 1

A good friend of mine has a standard Schnauser born 9/21/07.  He had been on the BARF diet since he was at the breeder and she contnued as instructed up until several months ago.  She didn't have any specific complaints but she was not entirely happy with it..  A raw dogfood shop in Carmel recommended that she use Urban Wolf Adult mixed with raw ground meat.

Here are the ingredients:

URBAN WOLF ADULT Formula

INGREDIENTS: All Food Ingredients are Whole Ground, Freeze or Naturally Dried: Carrot, Apple, Barley Greens &/or Alfalfa, Potato, Broccoli,  Pecans, Watercress, Blueberries, Cranberries, Spinach, Celery, (New) Lycopene (from tomato skins: Nature's powerful antioxidant), Saccharomyces cerevisiae, natural Calcium Carbonate, Flax Meal, Carob, Kelp, Parsley, Ginger Root, Marjoram, Basil. This diet meets & exceeds the AAFCO & NRC guidelines.

2 Cups URBAN WOLF (For Puppies, please add 'Balancer') + 2lb. Raw or Cooked Lean Meat*, 1 Egg + 3-4 Cups Water + 3/4-1 Cups Oil + 5-6 Urban Wolf 'Essentials'
Wild Fish Oil Daily SoftGels

What she is doing is preparing a large batch of "meat balls" and freezes them.  Every day she defrosts 4 meatballs. In the morning and evening he gets 2 meatballs and raw meaty bones like chicken legs or lamb necks.

I for one could never afford to feed Urban Wolf and then have to feed meat or meaty bones with it

I would be the one eating the  bones, meat on them or otherwise to keep myself alive

Top grade Dog kibbles are not cheap, leastways not over here in Belgium we pay heavy,

But no way can i bring myself to feed an inferior Kibble to my dogs knowing the contents of them, i could never live with the guilty concious,

Is anyone here using Urban Wolf? Or, if you used it in the past, what was your experience and why did you quit (oher than the fact that it is hideously expensive.)

We used it for quite some time. It was excellent and the dogs did superior on it....

The only reason to quit this food has to be because of the cost! I cannot think of any other reason to do so...and we were moving to more of a "straight raw" diet as in RMB, MM, OM ect vs the urban wolf. Now we do kibble and Raw. But if I had the money I think I would go back to just the UW.

I say go for it, if you can!

Crazy if you ask  me, but since when does a dog need so many friuts and vegetables knowing that they are Carnivores??

I do not feed raw but if I did I do not think that my dog's diet would consist of so much produce...
