Well, I had this post almost done then got up to do something and came back and stubbed my toe and put my hand on the keyboard and did SOMETHING and lost the whole post!!
Here I go again:
I think that Nutro has a Lamb and Rice Formula.
I believe from what I am understanding from this discussion and previous several we have had is that Purina Pro Plan is better than plain Purina. The first ingredient in Plain Purina is corn, and I have read that the first ingredient in PPPis chicken and chicken meal. I think. When Shaianne was having her tummy troubles I tried and tried to find the best food for her. I used the chicken formula of PPP and she really liked it. The first ingredient has to be a meat for me to buy it. This is the one reason I stopped using Pedigree, even tho I know other people that swear by it. That is also the reason that I will not buy Science Diet, even tho my sister swears by the lamb and rice formula for her dog. I KNOW that corn is put in dog food for sweetness and texture that was discussed in other food discussions we have had.But when its the first ingredient is when it worries me. This is also the reason I won't buy the Dog Chow products. The breeder told me that they weaned the puppies on Puppy chow and wanted to know if I had any, if not they would give me some. Which was very generous of them don't get me wrong but I had already bought Professional puppy formula and decided that as soon as she started on that the better. I think the reason that most people use Puppy Chow for their puppies is b/c its the most well known Puppy Formula.
I noticed when Shai had dog food that had corn as the main ingredient her stool volume was large and numerus!
I didn't figure that the biljac dry was as good as the frozen. This sounds silly but the packaging is so cheap and generic that was a good clue!!
I gave Keegan a TEASPOONOF canned food that I had left over from Shai(one small can unopened) so I mixed that into her puppy food today to "BRIBE" her to eat in her crate. It worked she ate in her crate and finished the whole bowl. I really don't want to get her started on Canned food like I did Shai. I ran into trouble with that. TUMMY TROUBLES and then she wouldn'e eat her dry food w/o it.
I agree with Candy, Jackie , if Perry and Daisy are doing well on what they are on leave well enough alone. I tried the Natures Recipe carrot and potatoe formula with Shaianne and she was ok with it. I tried the veggie formula and she wouldn't eat it come hell or high water!!
