Julie,
Likewise - our very first gutload included dog food.
However, we did research on what is IN most dog foods and stopped using it.
I haven't given the recipe for our basic gutload yet. It is not too expensive to make, if you don't place a price on grinding.
This recipe was developed after doing more research. In this one we utilize dry iguanna food, koi food, skim milk, baby cereal, and a few other ingredients. The addition of nutmeats attracts the bugs too. Have you ever seen crickets play soccer with a peanut?
Then we consulted with some vets and a microbiologist - our super gutload was developed and we make that now.
For the average cham hobbyist - a more basic recipe will serve well - as long as it is nutritious for the feeder prey.  -----
