| help with what food to try or where to get samples I have tried so many foods and end up having to take them back. Vet gave her L/D, science diet puppy canned, and purina NF. I've tried iams puppy kibbles, and now Royal canin puppy. She will eat it for a little bit (maybe one or two times) and then she doesn't like it. It is driving me crazy. Now I'm looking for samples so I can figure out what she is going to like. |

| Check out THIS THREAD. This is a great list... I sent an email to at least six of them, and got samples back from every single one. I ended up going with Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul because my puppy likes it and it's actually sold at a pet store near us. In the email be sure to tell them how old your dog is, and what breed, and they will all send you samples of whatever food they sell that is best for your pup. Good luck! Lauren & Nikko |

ALERT SOLID GOLD LIMITED RECALL by Robert Jay Russell, Ph.D., Coton de Tulear Club of America President, cotonclub.com CotonNews@aol.com December 14th, 2008. This morning, the CTCA's Rescue Liaison, Maria Whittle, passed on this important alert about a premium dog food used by many Coton de Tulear owners: Solid Gold Voluntary Recall - Turkey, Ocean Fish, Carrot, & Sweet Potatoes Formula Turkey, Ocean Fish, Carrot, & Sweet Potatoes Formula Canned Dog Food 13.2 oz Cans - POP-TOP CANS ONLY WITH A 'USE BY DATE 01/02/2010' located on the bottom of can A limited production of this Turkey canned food was made with the POP-TOP, and none of the product was distributed in any of the following states: Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Hawaii, or Alaska. Solid Gold has received several complaints regarding mold found in a batch of 13.2 oz canned Turkey, Ocean Fish, Carrot, & Sweet Potatoes Formula, with Pop-Tops. As a precautionary measure, they ask that you return any of this product with the 'Use By Date 01/02/2010'; you will find these numbers on the bottom of the cans. 0A 13.2 oz Turkey and Ocean Fish Canned Dog Food. Purple label with a POP -TOP (Pull top) only Date on bottom of can 01/02/2010 Turkey and Ocean Fish cans without a Pop-Top are not affected.

| Saw that your dog had been put on NF and L/D by your vet-- has she got liver problems? If so, that will put some restrictions on the type of foods that she can safely eat... I'd be extra super careful about changing her diet around if that is the case, and double check with your vet before trying any new foods on her. A lot of the premium pet foods out there are nutritionally the exact opposite of what a dog with liver problems needs!

| I use Solid Gold as well, just the dry though not the canned. I've never used canned with Sasha. She absolutely LOVES the Solid Gold food. I used to feed her Nutro but decided to switch. As I was gradually mixing the Solid Gold in with the Nutro, I began to notice her actually eating around the Nutro which I found quite amuzing. Smart little dog haha. Good luck with your search! |
