| Question about food? I am so unsure what I should do. Autumn is currently on Innova Reduced Fat (my pug had a weight issue May he R.I.P) and she loves it. I currently use missing link on her food. She is fed twice a day. Now that we are getting a puppy in November I have been thinking about changing to Canidae All Life Stages. I also have been thinking that I should add a tspn of plain yogurt or cottage cheese to her twice daily feedings. So my question is should I just leave her on the Innova Reduced Fat since she enjoys it and then switch the puppy over as well? Should I give yorgurt or cottage cheese and how often, both feedings or just one.? If I add the yogurt/cottage cheese do I still add the missing link on top of that too? Any help would be fantastic! Thanks a bunch! |

| I don't think that any of those things would be wrong to do. If you are feeding a high quality dog food you don't have to supplement if you don't want to. There is cottage cheese in Innova regular already. I would personally get her off of the reduced fat since she doesn't need it. Canidae sounds fine and there are a few others too. You can use Missing Link anytime you want. It would be fine to give yogurt or cottage cheese. I would give it with one meal. Actually I would probably add something to it (like fruit) and serve it by itself in the middle of the day.

| What about just switching her to regular innova? Seen as she likes it so much, its a very good food too. To be honest though for future reference, low fat/diet foods are just a bit of a gimmick. If they need to loose weight, reduce the food, if they need to put it on, give them more. |
