What do you guys think of the food? Any problems or concerns? I'm really starting to consider switching to it. I feed Royal Canin and Maddie has SUPER dry skin. I just started giving her supplements and always bathe her in oatmeal, but she is still flaking and scratching. I'm starting to suspect the food. Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance!

Hokule'a · 10-14-2007, 02:49 PM

My two LOVE this food, they've been on it for a couple months now. Their poop is firm and they aren't itching or biting their feet

What is Maddie eating right now?

EmrldShdwQueen · 10-14-2007, 03:14 PM

Royal Canin, and I have read some mixed reviews about it...at the time I started her on it (around 3 months) it had EXCELLENT online reviews, but now it's changed somewhat...I just want what's best for my babies, I don't care how expensive the food is...I'd rather pay more now per month than watch them suffer with health problems and have huge vet bills later!!

Chachi had itchy skin when eating RC also

Ok, then I'm definitely switching...but the question is...should I switch to LA, or something else?

Txgurl06 · 10-14-2007, 03:22 PM

I switched my 2 from RC to Lifes abundance. My pups love it

its actually not that expensive. My 2 were eating about two 3 lb bags of Rc a month thats almost 20 dollars. And now that skoshi is turning 10months this month i would have to start feeding 2 differnt kinds of RC the puppy for kiele and the yorkieshire for skoshi.

With the LA we its for all stages! and its pretty cheap. but with shipping it makes it a little more but considering i was paying almost $20 for 6lbs of RC a month i am now paying $20 for a 8lb bag and that includes shipping. My dogs also love their supplements.

Send for samples of the various foods you're interested in. Linda at fufufashions is wonderful to work with if you want to give LA a try. I'm pleased with it - my two did not do well on Chicken Soup or Canidae

EmrldShdwQueen · 10-14-2007, 03:30 PM

Sounds good, thanks everyone! I just ordered samples of the LA for only the cost of shipping, so I'll see how they respond to it! Maddie is pretty picky, I have to coax her to eat most of the time...either get that Iams flavor gravy or pour chicken broth over her dry...

So I would LOVE to find a food that she would eat willingly without any additions. Do you have to order supplements separately? Are they in the form of treats?

Rudys Mom · 10-14-2007, 03:31 PM

That's what my two eat. I mix Life's Abundance/Healthy Pet Net with Wellness and they really like it. My sister's dog likes it also. FYI, their "Gourmet Dental Treats" are Honey/Peanut Butter Snacks for Dogs and my two go crazy over those treats.

go to www.fufufashions.com and she will send you free samples of the LA. I think she pays for shipping on the samples

We just switched Gizmo from Innova Puppy to LA and Gizmo really likes it. He is also on the supplement, and he thinks it's a treat! lol

We didn't really have any issues on Innova Puppy, but I started to question some of the ingredients.

LA is fresher than the foods you buy at the store, and I really like that.

With the 8lb. bag we should be set for awhile, so the cost was reasonable even with shipping.

If I could do it differently, I would order more supplement though. I give a half tablet a day to him. They also have a cheaper price if you order the food and the supplement as a package deal.

Linda also answered about a million questions I had. She's wonderful!!

its a very good price!! also linda at fufufashions is soo helpful and she will help you with anything no matter what. She is soooo sweet.

I really want to emphasize that when you do the switch over do it exactly how she tells you and go slow.

I agree, PM Linda and let her know you're getting samples and she will give you tons of advice and support on switching over. She also sent me samples of the treats and my two go bonkers over those

Baby Madeleine · 10-14-2007, 04:51 PM

I got samples from Linda and so far so good. Madeleine seems to really like it. I will be ordering a bag soon, but am trying to go really slow switching her over.
