    grr. I can't find the ingredients for this umm "stuff"

    You might check to see if your Tractor Supply carries Diamond Naturals. At the TSCs around Oklahoma City it's $19.98/40lbs for the adult chicken formula and $21.48/40 lb for the lamb and the ingredients are much better than the Retriever stuff. Maybe your parents will be more accepting if they...

    Dog never eats

    The comment regarding Abady is accurate and the original incident it referred to was posted by a former Abady feeder. If the board it was posted on hadn't been restructured into such a mess you could go there and read it yourself. As it is, I think the original story is on at least one more...

    Lake trout?

    I would never feed whole lake fish. I've cleaned a lot of fish in my life (never trout though) and found many old rusty hooks in them and lots of other strange objects in their stomachs. Additionally, trout need to be frozen or cooked before feeding because they can carry a fluke that will make...

    Nature's Variety Prairie Raw Instinct for puppy?

    For a Yorkie pup Instinct is probably fine. The reason foods like Instinct aren't recommended for puppies is the calcium levels, not the protein, although the two are linked. Any kibble with a high meat content, which makes it high protein, is going to have an extremely high ash content. Ash is...

    Dog getting sick (Switched Food)

    A 5 month old small breed puppy shouldn't be going 10-12 hours between meals. Like suggested above, 3 meals a day should help. If it doesn't, vet time.

    Innova, Canidae - a topic carried over from the Orijen thread

    I don't know if you can blame them for sending stock e-mail responses. I know John from Eagle Pack posted on another board that he was 400+ e-mails behind, and they were still piling up. These companies are swamped. At least they're answering at all, and if they have a stock letter that answers...

    Okay PEOPLE! Show me those recipes!!!!!

    Balanced recipes from Monica Segal: Although I receive a lot of private email every day, today's requests are heart wrenching. Desperate to find a home-cooked diet to feed their dogs that were kibble fed just a few days ago, people have been emailing all day. I can't keep up with the...

    Innova, Canidae - a topic carried over from the Orijen thread

    Canidae does not have their own dry facility, and they never said they do. They have their own extruder though. In saying "our facility" they mean the facility that they use, not their own facility. "CANIDAE's involvement with the plant" Anyway, they are supposed to be made at the Pied...

    Innova, Canidae - a topic carried over from the Orijen thread

    While I trust Natura, and think the company is awesome, I really don't understand regular Innova's stellar reputation. Just going off ingredients - they have barley, brown rice, potatoes and rice all in the main ingredients. In any other food that would be "grain-heavy". JMO, they place entirely...

    Muscle Atrophy

    Background: Wylie was a stray that had a broken elbow when we found him, and the vet thought it had been broken for a couple of weeks or more. His shoulder muscles had begun to atrophy - you could feel a difference in the hurt shoulder compared to the good one. There was a chunk of the end of...

    Can Dogs have Prader-Willi Syndrome?

    I tend to like the lower calorie foods for chow hounds. They get to eat more bulk and stay at the same amount of calories. Helps them feel a little more satisfied, but then the food bill goes up... Is it possible to feed her meals out of something like a Tricky Treats ball? Making mealtime a...
