Is this dog food ok?

My Peanuts, I was just wondering how you and your dogs like the new food?

They absolutely LOVE it! Harley finishes all his food, which is not like him and Sylvia finishes most of her food. I also think that their skin is starting to look better and they itch less. I highly recommend the Chicken Soup food. And everyone that said it smells good was right. It smells much better than the Eukanuba did. I can't say enough good things about this food. Harley and Sylvia will be on this for life!

I knew you'd love it. Jake has more energy since I switched him to it. And he can't wait to eat! Now it's no problem at all getting him to come inside after he goes potty, because he can't wait to eat.

I put the cats on it too. I wish I could show the difference in Toby's coat. It used to be very dull and now it's glossy.

I agree about the difference in the cat's coats after being on the Chicken Soup Food...especially Guinness (my black cat)...it is soo shiny and Dandy's feels like an angora.

Today, I switched both boys to Chicken Soup for the dog lover's soul. I'm a bit paranoid with the barf diet now. I was chopping bones when one splintered and was REALLY sharp. Until I do some more research and get some vet opinions, I'm feeding chicken soup. I just offered Kai a bowl of chicken soup, and he gobbled it up. It's a rare thing to see Kai eat his entire bowl of kibble. He's always been really picky.

Has anyone on here heard that soy was not good for a dogs digestive system? I heard that a pretty good while ago. I was just wondering if anybody here knew anything about that? Just curious.

Yes, that's true. Some dogs can handle soy, but it shouldn't be given to deep chested dogs or dogs who are partial to bloat. It's just another filler that the companies like to add. People always hear that soy is good for people, so they don't question whether it is good for dogs. Companies rely on that.

Remember that food I was talking about before? It was Pro PAC, not Pro PLAN. Duh, I got mixed up. There is another food called pro plan though.

Here are the ingredients that I found on a site that sells it. The only things I don't like are how it starts with a meal and there is only one animal protien in the first three ingredients. I also don't like the canola oil or chemicals. Haha, I'm picky.

Chicken Meal, Pearled Barley, Oatmeal, Potato Flour, Ground Brown Rice, Menhaden Fish Meal, Brewers Rice, Millet, Quinoa, Amaranth, Ground Whole Flaxseed, Canola Oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols, a natural source of Vitamin E), Natural Flavoring, Menhaden Fish Oil, Lecithin, Yeast Culture, Dried Kelp, Alfalfa Leaf, Dried Blueberries, Dried Apples, Dried Carrots, Dried Peas, Dried Parsley, Dried Garlic, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Dried Chicory Root, Beta-Carotene, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Salt, Vitamin E Supplement, Taurine, L-Lysine, DL-Methionine, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Casei, Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Chondroitin Sulfate, Calcium Carbonate, Zinc Oxide, Magnesium Proteinate, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Niacin, D-Calcium Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin A Supplement, L-Carnitine, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Ascorbic Acid, Ferrous Sulfate, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (source of Vitamin K Activity), Biotin, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), Calcium Iodate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid, Manganese Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Proteinate, Copper Proteinate.

Sorry I took so long to reply about it!

Amazing how we become label readers, isn't it? I do the same thing.
