I dont think things have changed that much in recent years, just some people have different views. I have been feeding puppies the same way for the last 25 years, although I agree back when I was a child (looooong time ago, LOL!). we fed the dogs on a tinned meat and biscuit diet, with table scraps. But it is a shock to the system when you havnt had a puppy for a long time, and you wonder what has hit you and if you are doing the right thing, but they are all worth it!
