Please Help

Beneful is really pretty bad...Pedigree is better than that. See my post in one of the other dog food threads about what is in dog food that is not good.

That Thread Was Wrote Before This One, Thank You All For Your Advice It Has Been Really Helpful For Me. I Will Go Ahead And Get Some Nutro Just As Soon As Possible Which Will Be 2 To 3 Days. I Took Her To The Vet Today And Got Her Shots, She Done Great. Although She Had A Little Ear Infection Around The Outside Of Her Ear He Gave Me Some Kinda Medicine For It. I Take Her Next Week To Get Her Ears Clipped So I Definetly Need To Get Rid Of That.

I'm not here to start a discussion about Purina,

but I fed my two Purina for a long time, and Mickey longer than Molly. The only problem they had while on it was slight tartar on their teeth. They both did nicely on Purina. Their coats were nice, their health was "athletic condition". JMO.

I agree there are better foods, but I, from my experience with Purina, would not label it a bad food.

i took angel to the vet yesterday for her second round of shots and had them do tests for intestinal parasites and heartworms and something else, lol.

she is now 15 weeks old and i have had her on beneful since i got her, she has gained almost ten pounds, her teeth are immaculate, and the vet could not get over how beautiful her coat/skin looks. ( she was interested what the hell i have been feeding her, lol)

but what works for some doesn;t work well for others, and i am still going to be switching her to eagle brand of foods, even though that means buying it from the evil pet store, lol.

Aww, I love her natural floppy ears.. they give her such a sweet soft look. The ear infection problems could very well be from the food. Many dogs have allergies to corn and other filler ingredients used in low end foods. I think boxers especially tend to be one of the more sensitive breeds when it comes to that. Good luck with her. She's adorable.
