What brand of dog food is this?? ITS BEEN SOLVED!!! 2ed Page!

**Husky_mom** · 05-30-2007, 03:31 PM

I´ve never seen a heart shape kibble in Pedigree...... yes they do have these bones shapes but the rest are more like square/rounds......and lately the nugget ones......

In lamb and rice I´ve seen only he addition of some green ones like peas, but not hearts.......at all...... even if it WAS Pedigree that costs like 18 dlls

can you find the bag they were in it?.....or the receipt?...... I´m so intrigued

.... I wanna know

From conversations I have had with Jess and other posts of hers, I don't think that Chad does care much about Bear. It sounds to me that Chad and Andrew both just don't bother with her. How sad for Bear. I am glad that she has you Jess!

Hmmmm... I'm not sure I want to know what trash food this is anymore.

When I get home I'm gonna look through the trash to see if I can find the bag.

If you can't figure out what the brand is, you could try bringing a baggy of it over to the PetSmart or somewhere like that, and see if someone can ID it -- or compare it to the bags on display, and see if anything looks familiar. I'd check the closest places around the area -- even close grocery stores dog food sections as well.

Good luck with the ID

I haven't read much on Bear, but is she Chad's dog? I can understand why you're frustrated because you're willingly taking responsibility over a neglected dog that shouldn't even be your responsibility. Still, it just doesn't help anybody to be angry over anything. I suppose I took offense at the Pedigree comment seeing as my close friend feeds it and it was upsetting to read such a strong, vehement comment. But, like I said, if you're so against feeding this kibble, donate it to a shelter and buy the kibble you want to feed. Ideally, you can make a lose-lose situation into a win-win situation.

Man I really wish I had the time to explain the whole story to you, then you'd more then likely have a different opinion (the Chad thing)... Its so hard to explain day to day things in one forum. But Chad isnot a good person anymore.

About our Brand issue... I didn't mean to offend, but those low end brands make me very angry. Some one once compaired it to feeding your kid a random animal parts hotdog with lots of sugar. I'm just very against fillers & trash being fed to animals, just like I'm very against adding steroids to milk cows(illegal in Canada) & feeding cows animal by-products(the cause of Mad-Cow).

Another reason I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO very against low end dog foods, is because it nearly killed my old dog. no matter how much he ate, he lost weight, he was turning on people, stealing & puking out of all 3 holes. It was traced to the low end dog foods. Saddly the damage was already done & it damaged his digestive track. My dad took him in, as my mother didn't care at all about the dog. Within a month of being on a good quality dog food, he had put on weight & was no longer puking out of all 3 holes. Every 6 months to a year, he would have a break out & had to be medicated, to make him well again... After being on the higher quality dog food (Nutro-was the highest in our area), when he turned 9.5yrs old, the Emrg. vets thought he was 3yrs old, as his teeth were white, he was very muscular & had an awesome, awesome coat.

Back to the origional thread... I will post an update right after this one, so people can skip over this one if they are not interested in reading.

With the help of a good friend & 4 employees, we found the dog food brand!! I brought in a sample & the employees made it their mission to find it... They were positive it was purenia or maybe Alpo, as one said.. wait theres a commercial.. ummm... The Hearts are for love!! Overyone was like YA!!! I remember that... brain storming.. PURENIA!!!

& there on the bag was THE kibbles perfect colour, size & shapes!...Its Purenia, Adult Health Maintance.. or something like that.

So sad, that I have caught him in yet another lie. This time its harming the dog.

A new bag of food has been bought!! Its Mericks !! Its the chicken, duck & turkey (forget the name & I hurt my ancle a few mins ago, so NO walking for me to read the name).

Glad it's been solved.

I believe you are talking about Merrick's Turducken.

Thats the one!!

Glad you figured it out good job. Poor Bear. Glad she is back on a good food and hope things are back to normal with her.

Think Chad needs an attitude adjustment. Maybe back to my original idea and giving Chad a good swift kick in the a$$. What a moron.

**Seravieve** · 06-05-2007, 07:19 AM

I was at the store the other day.. looking at dog foods. I saw Purina Healthy Morsels... It has all the 'pretty' colored kibble shapes.. one of which being a heart shape. Thought of you and this thread. Just couldn't get on here to post soon enough I guess. =)

Glad the mystery has been solved.

There is a line of people who want to kick him, its kinda long, so you might want to get into it asap lol

Hes quite PO'ed, I said the brand name right to his face & he denied it 100%, however instead of being his usual self, he dropped the topic quick & left my room.

It hurts me so much that he thinks I'm that stupid. He even changed his story about the dog food, saying he spent 50.00 on it. Which is not what he origionally said, cause I questioned him on that the first day. He said he paid 20.00 for it & Shane paid the last 5.00... Which would make it the correct price for Purenia dog chow(its 21.00+tax). .. last night he said he paid 50.00 for it & it was the tiny bag that was 20.00.... but then where is this sale price that he was so excited about, that he paid for?? cause Science Diet after taxes is just under 50.00.

I just don't get him.

Oh a positive note, Bear had her first serving of her new food!! As I was cutting the bag open she was going insane. I've never seen her do that for dog food.. I opened the bag & this YUM smell came from it... it smelled like a Burger/Stew... I almost wanted to eat it lol

I turned on the hot water & covered the dog food in water to make the gravy... MY GOODNESS the smell was overwelming!!! Now the dog eats better then I do lol I just might have to switch myself to it lol Better then eatting KD & Mr. Noodle everyday lol

Bear didn't gulp the food, as the water forced her to take her time, so thats a bonus!!! The kibbles are also really small & flat so it looke like the pieces will be much easier for her to digest too... I cannot wait to see how small her next few poops will be... This food should also stop her nasty gas, cause shes been makin gme sleep with her butt the past couple nights, EWWWW lol

Careful with the hot water, only put slighty warm water.

Hot water can destroy some of the heat sensitive nutrients, and since the process to make it kibble already destroys some, we don't want them all gone!
