i went to Petland y'day and got free samples of the
AVODerm (never heard of this one but the ingredients looked good) and the
Pinnacle. I had never heard of either of these brands but neither have corn, wheat, or byproducts in there. The kibbles are small and i have offered the Pinnacle to the girls but so far, they haven't been interested. I then went to another mom&pop pet store and picked up free samples of
Wellness and
Nature's Variety Raw Instinct, which is grain free and high meat protein. I haven't tried the girls on any of these yet. They also carried the Merrick's canned dog food. We tried the Chicken Pot Pie last night. My puppy gobbled it down but she had diarreah this morning (probably from changing foods) but my older girls wouldn't touch it.
I will just introduce the new stuff gradually to see how they react. I usually just mix in a little beef or chicken into their kibbles and they eat that just fine. They eat the Eagle Pack Holistic Chicken since it has a really tiny kibble. So many of the foods have too large of kibble no matter how good the product is, my girls cannot get their mouth around it!
If anyone has any comments on any of these brands, i would appreciate any input.
