What kibble are you feeding?

I am currently feeding my two Nutro- Sadie senior, and Rita adult...

I feed Nutro Max weight control formula kibble for both dogs. I do use
a little Pedigree meat cuts on top. The kitties have always eaten Purina
wet & dry food and they love it.

Currently Riley is on the Natural Balance reduced calorie diet and I have spoken with Natural Balance a number of times to the point that I'm comfortable in keeping her on this food.

I was feeding Frankie Natural Balance Venison and seeing as that was their one recalled dog formula I had to switch. I went with Solid Gold Wolf King and other than some gas issues she seems to be adjusting all right to it. They do not use any of the recalled products and do not source their dog food ingredients from China.

Solid Gold

We at Solid Gold Health Products for Pets, Inc. ("Solid Gold') realize that consumers are very concerned with the recent product food recalls. We would like to assure our customers that there are no safety concerns with Solid Gold products. The product recalls and removals have centered around ingredients sourced in China, in particular wheat gluten and now rice protein concentrate. These products are thought to be contaminated with melamine. Neither of these ingredients are used in any Solid Gold food products, nor do we source any ingredients from China, either directly or indirectly. We do not use gluten meal of any kind in any of our foods.

All the ingredients in Solid Gold products are sourced domestically with three exceptions. The lamb meal used in our dry foods is sourced from New Zealand, which produces some of the cleanest meat in the world. The potato protein used in Barking at the Moon is sourced in Europe. Our Blended Tuna canned cat food (grain free) is produced offshore due to the lack of tuna processing plants in the United States.

Sincerely,

Steven J. Wirick
Chief Operating Officer
Solid Gold Health Products for Pets, Inc.

I just bought a huge bag of the Pro Plan Senior. I would either like to change to the Chicken Soup or Pinnacle after this. I don't want to take chances in the future. Kari, does Pinnacle have senior dog food? I was trying to find it on their site.

I feed mine Innova EVO RM (supplemented with raw). Mine were really gassy when I first moved them onto it too but it seemed to get better during the second bag of it. Natura pet foods has decided to purchase or build their own canning facility in the future to ensure the quality of their foods. There's a video at http://www.naturapetcare.com/ about their products and new steps they are taking right now to ensure the continuing safety of their foods.

That's why I feel so safe with them, Jess. They seem far more concerned than some others. I think I'll be sticking with their products for a while.

I am kind of bummed, though, I really liked TWO's ingredients, they were just too shady for me.

I'm planning on picking up a few canned EVO for Raven tomorrow as she'll need soft foods while her mouth heals. They are definitely one of the only brands I still feel comfortable with. TWO did look really good, but I had read where you talked about some different looking kibble in it. That would bother me too.

Kay, I'm *happy* to report that my hubby is home from Aspen with the Innova EVO. I fed the girls as soon as he got home, they went nuts for the stuff. I think I'll stick with them for a while also. We may have to drive to Aspen to buy it but that's ok.

I just started easing Niño into their Elk and Salmon today. I went out to Pet Supplies Plus last night because I was sick of all this crap about what my dog was eating. In what ways were they shady?
