| INNOVA dry dog food question? Is anyone feeding your babies INNOVA dry dog food? I've never heard of it. Is it OK? Please tell me what you all think.

| Innova is a high quality food, it's one of the best you can feed. I've used it for several years and had no trouble with any of mine. |

| I used it for awhile. It is good. But Penny just decided she didn't like it anymore. Now I have 4 bags(of different food) sitting here that she won't eat.

| From all the research on food that I have done, Innova is an excellent food. In fact, I fed INNOVA EVO for about a year and then switched to Canidae All Life Stages. The EVO was extremely high in protein and I got decided to make a switch. That was well over 2 years ago and I am still feeding the Canidae. |

| I feed mine Canidae & Innova Small Bites mixed right now. We did try Innova EVO - BUT Kylee got really sick on it - too much protein. All 4 love Canidae & Innova - But I am going to wean them off of Canidae. I can not get Canidae locally, I have to order online. But I can get Innova locally here. I have the Pit Bull on Innova Puppy too - she loves it also!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I've been feeding the home prepared meals for a year now but do offer Innova Evo for free feeding. Reno is still a puppy and I just want to make certain he gets enough of what he needs. Ruby and he both will eat the Innova occasionally, usually only one or two pieces at a time.

| I've been feeding Derby Innova since I realized the Diamond Puppy Food I was feeding him was mostly "by-product"....yucko! I started using the Innova for him as a treat to see if he would like it and he most certainly did. He LOVES it. It is a much healthier alternative than so many of the brands that are available. I even have my cat eating the Innova Reduced Fat cat food....he loves it too. Does anyone have any imput on how long to keep puppies on the puppy food? All of the bags say up to a year and my vet said to ween him off of the puppy food starting at 4 months. What has worked for your lil guys? (BTW, everytime I try to upload a pic, YT says "upload failed" I've even downsized my photo to the 100x100....suggestions anyone? )

| Bobo eats the Innova Evo small bites and he loves it. It's the first dry food that he will really eat. I co-own a weimeraner/lab mix and got him the Evo large bites. Bobo likes to eat that too! |

| That's what I feed mine. They go back and forth. I have it out all the time. Sometimes I add salmon oil to it. When I fix their meals, I will soak it in a little water, nuke it for a few seconds and then add the rest of their food--can, mashed carrots or shredded chicken or mashed potatos. I've been putting yogurt in sometimes. It seems to do the trick. Hot Rod is such a picky eater!

| Lily eats Innova and loves it, her coat is much nicer than it was on Iams or Nutro.

| I've recently switched my cats and dogs over to Innova, and they all love it. Marley's still in the process of switching from Solid Gold to Innova, as she doesn't seem to like the Solid Gold, but she gobbles up the Innova.

| Tricksie has been on Innova EVO for several months, I have to mix it with wet or veggies she will not eat it alone unless starving. I noticed than when I mix it with beef, she gets sick, from what I am reading, that must be too much protein.

| We fed Innova Puppy for months with much success. We have now switched to NV Raw Medallions and are happy with the results we are seeing. |
