Bil Jac is Made by Kelly. Kelly makes it.Quote:

As shown in the dog video on feeding raw- I use a 1/4 cup of Solid gold lamb, and 1/4 cup wolf king bison. ( that is for 4 100 pound dogs basically.) That is ground up to prevent expanding kibble in the gut, and put in with their veggie mix.
Well said.Quote:

Bear is on Science Diet & so far I'm not impressed with it. When both bags are gone, I'm putting her on Nutro. Diet & Senior. Bear doesn't really like the diet stuff, but LOVES the senior, so I mix the 2 & she'll gobble it up lol
I find her poop is large with Science Diet, compaired to when I used Nutro with my old dog (both are large dogs)...
Her fur is 100x better then it was when we rescued her, but its still dry & not glossy, like my old dogs.
Not sure about that one- I will have to look it up. The only compliant I ever had against Nutro is that they have recalls.. On the other hand- at least they recall the food verses letting it go unchecked. I do not follow Nutro anymore. I got into serious research on dogs foods in the early 80's and just continued to follow it.Quote:

The point to this thread was to make sure I wasn't paying $25 a bag for something that's as bad as Alpo or Kibbles and Bits. I didn't want tempers to flare. ;)
I don't want to have to switch foods over and over trying to find something they like and that's good for them. Let's face it, they'll eat just about anything ( :D ) but it's up to me to find something that's really good for them.
Personally I don't think that Science Diet is anywhere near Kibbles and Bits or Alpo, although I am certainly no expert in the field. I think you should be fine with it, especially if that's what your vet recommends. :)
I don't think Science Diet is a poor food. Its by far not the best, but its not toxic like kibbles n bits.Quote:

Bear hasn't been ill off the food or anything like that (but its only been 1.5 months)... Its just the stool size & fur quality I don't like.
Luckly Chad has noticed that Bear tends to be covered in what we call Snow lol... Hes grossed out by it, so I know I'll have an easy time talkin ghim into switching the brands.
But like I said, its still a good food to use & I like the variety they have :D Its a food I'd recommend to someone who cannot afford the top brands, but still want a healthy & safe food (no by-products, & no BHA/BHT).
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I would have thought that Bil-jac is actually a worse food than Science Diet. The ingredients don't look so good.....
Everyone here seems to be a doggie nutritionist. :p JK
After trying many foods, I give mine dry nutro and wet merrick or beneful.
They like it and it gives them nice poops, good looking coat and shiney eyes, plenty of energy.
Bil Jac is solid chicken with chicken organs as the by product. Its also not extruded so it doesnt swell in the stomach, and also turns to 'mush " almost immediately. Its also what I feed puppies before they are ready for raw mixed with esbalac.Quote:
