dog food

[borzoimom]

I give my dogs Eagle Pack holistic dry and Merrick's canned. They also get Missing Link and flaxseed oil alternating every other day. Sometimes table scraps mixed with the dry.

That sounds like a good mix too!!! Very good!

Roscoe gets Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul

Kia was on Canidae Lamb and Rice but since Chipper has a sensitive tummy, I've switched them both to Solid Gold Holistique Blendz supplemented with SeaMeal. I can't put the bowl down fast enough.

I personally couldnt feed Science Diet to a couple of my dogs, they lost weight and had bad haircoats. but another didnt have any problems with it.

That's because Scince Diet is a crappy brand of dog food...that's what it dose to most dogs because it dosent have the right nutrients.

Katrina, you may want to do a little on line research and make some decisions for yourself. In google search, put in dog food ingredients and see what comes up. I just did this in the past 2 weeks. Here are three web sites I looked at (along with many others):

http://www.iei.net/~ebreeden/kibble.html

http://www.doberdogs.com/menu.html

http://www.preciouspets.org/truth.htm

The doberdogs site does have some comparison charts. you could even include comparison charts in your google search.

I guess each of us will have different priorities. Mine included: I wanted a natural food; I never realized some are human grade, others are not until I started reading some of the sites. (I thought none were!) so I wanted human grade. I didn't like the sounds of that "renderings of companion animals" one bit, so I wanted to stay away from THAT.

I decided on Chicken Soul for the Dog / Cat Lover. Their web site helps you find a dealer. The ones closest to me are pet stores, they sell puppies. I don't do business with those stores. And having rescued Sugar from the puppy mill scene, I just couldn't do it. So I kept looking on the list of dealers. I found one near me that doesn't sell puppies; they carry supplies for farms, and livestock. It is a half hour ride, but I am willing to do that. And Sugar LOVES the smells in the store!

After finding out which dog food I was going to use for the new arrival, then I reconsidered what I am giving my cats. I have owned cats for 12 years, and they have always been on SD. No longer. Switched them over too. Many of the same reasons applied.

Hope this gives you a few ideas how to make your choice!

Chicken soup is a good one with" fit for human consumption" ingredients.

Oh my, and here just when I thought it was safe to sleep at night... it is nice to see that some children are not allowed on parental comps for a reason. This would be the reason. Sigh

I think we have all been on here long enough to know by now that talking to them and giving them somthing to reply back to is just going to make them want to bug us more. It's probly just some little kid who is bored , who knows who cares just IGNORE it I'm sure Karen will deal with it soon.
