Wow... you guys are a little behind.. this thread got bumped because someone else asked a food question. Eli is fine and dandy now. Ive got that all under control.

and there's planty of chicken and animal by-products listed there. What do you think chicken meal is?
In my last two posts I was never referring to the Member's Mark food... Was talking about Nature's Recipe... As in response to this question...

Has anyone ever tried Nature's Recipe Dog Food? It is made with all natural ingredients, no beef, soy, corn or wheat for less allergy problems. No fillers or by-products. There are several formulas including "healthy skin" and "easy to digest. It can found at Pet Smart and the price is reasonable....I think I paid about $33.00 for a 40 LB bag.

Thats why it was bumped...

Maybe you should read the WHOLE thread before posting. I was NEVER looking to get
a huge layer of fat over the ribs.
I find that statement ignorant and somewhat offensive. Eli was OBVIOUSLY underweight when we got him.. and I wasnt trying to "Pack on the pounds".. was trying to get him to a good weight. I realize that when theyre growing as puppies they get awkward, skinny stages.. that wasnt his case. And the last thing we'd have is overweight or obese dogs..
