new dog food

[Jessika]

Science Diet is a terrible food in my opinion. By products, and LOTS of corn and other fillers!

Science Diet is, indeed, primarily corn kibble loaded with by-products and synthetic vitamins and minerals. It's an incredibly wise choice for you to switch foods and I give you kudos! Innova, in my honest opinion, is one of the best foods. Regular Innova contains superior ingredients and is head and shoulders above SD. An even better kibble for your adult dog would be Innova EVO which contains minimal carbohydrates and virtually no grains, a healthy mimic of the raw diet. My Pekingese had been hopelessly deteriorating on various "top" kibbles like Wellness, Wysong, and Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul. At five years of age, he was droopy, lethargic, and could barely keep up on our usual walks. There was a noticeable decrease in energy and I knew it was time for a drastic change. As a result, I switched him to Innova EVO/homemade diet since he was too stubborn to eat a 100% homemade diet and I was, admittedly, too chicken to go all out with my aging pup Within a few weeks, his energy dramatically increased and his fur was simply glowing and full. Plus, for the first time in his life, he began producing small, firm poops!

Canidae, although it is, in my opinion, is not as top-notch as Innova/EVO, it certainly gives you the most bang for your buck. The ingredients are, without a doubt, superior to SD's and many of the other brands available. Though I wouldn't venture so far as to say it is the best out there, I will admit that a VAST majority of Greyhound owners feed Canidae and/or Nutro due to the availability and relatively "minimal" costs. It is a GREYT food for its price tag and I would definitely recommend it. Good Luck and happy shopping!

Thanks everyone for all your helpful suggestions! I got some samples of Innova and California Natural, which the dogs both loved. Unfortunately there aren't any shops that sell Canidae in my area- according to their website the closest is 90 miles away but one store I visited has been trying to get it. I think that I'm going to go with Innova since I don't want to have to order online. Thanks again!

I use to give innova to Merilyn until I was running low and my friends gave me can a day and he had an allergic reaction to that as well as Solid Gold they no longer had the bag so I could not see what was in it. I got him on Nutro and he is doing better with the rash. It happened after he was fixed and was home got the new food .. the vet said it might be anal glands but he is not scooting on the floor ..
