| Nutri Source?? My friend gave me a sample of Nutri-source, Chicken & rice formula. Has any one tried this. My baby Megan is 7 months old and Saturday she started pooping gooey bloody poop. (she haden't had that food yet. when my Daughters gave megan to me for my birthday they got some puppy food from petsmart I think it's to harsh for her. The breeder had been giving her science diet. maybe I should go back to that. any ideas? |

I've never fed the Nutri-Source. On the recent poll here on Yorkie Talk of what people are feeding, Canidae and Nutro were both high. Our pet store carries the Nutro but not the Canidae. I don't really care for the Science Diet, even though a lot of breeders and vets promote it. Here's the thread for the poll. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90689

| nutri-source I have fed Nutri-source with absolutely no problems. The dogs like it too. I dont like (and neither do the dogs) Science Diet. First ingrredient is corn. Sounds like its for goats, not dogs. Nutri-source has the tiniest kibble for weaning puppies I have ever seen. Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul is great too. Did you switch foods gradually? Good luck, Lynn |

It's a Yorkie Thing Donating Member | Good luck in finding the food that works for your baby. Mine are on Nutro with no problems. but each dog is different.

| If Science Diet worked I'd stay with it. Your not changing the food real fast are you, because that will make them sick.

| What suits one dog may not suit another, they are all different. However I would try to steer clear of hills science plan at all costs. |

Does that sound like good advice from those of you with more experience changing foods? I haven't had to do that much (thank goodness).

| I feed Nutrisource and my dogs like it. I have noticed better consistency in the poops since being on this food. The minerals are cheleted, so they are supposed to be better utilized by the dog. Yes the puppy food has very tiny pieces. They soak well though to make the soft food for the young pups. |

| Their little tummies do not like change. If you want to change food or treats, you should do it slowly and over a long period of time.
