We do love solid gold but our Leonberger had some problems ,the other 3 were fine with it , and we have ended up on Verus for quite some time now and all do well.Of course I supplement fruits and vegetables, some fish& meat cooked and all natural treats and all 4 of our guys do very well. Our leonberger-Dakota Star was the only one that ever really had a problem alllthough with change in his diet our lab mix-Mojo gets alot of gas but our shiba inu -Byakko and pappillion/pomeranian mix-Martini Shen seem to do fine on any of the superpremium diets.

Due to my severe health problems I don't feel I could do a good job with a BARF diet. I think it is a great diet if you do it right but my health is getting much worse and I can't do it without my children at home I couldn't care for the furkids alone. Luckily most of the furkids are my 22 yr old daughters technically and she is a vet tech and in college. My 15 yr old son has Mojo and I have Byakko when anyone moves out but hopefully no one will anytime soon because in all reality we are just a family and love everyone equally. I can't imagine getting through a day without the furkids.

Diet is extreamly important and can save you alot of worry and $$ if you feed a healthy diet because cutting corners there can really add to health problems and vet bills.

Have a great day everyone off to cuddle the furkids
Love Laurie,Byakko and family
