Has anyone tried (or does anyone feed) Breeder's Choice - Active Care Healthy Joint Formula?
I was doing some research for joint supplements and stumbled on this. I looked in to Missing Link and other supplements. I was talking to one lady at the feed store, and asked if she had any experience with any of it. She admitted she had never tried Missing Link or the others I was looking at, but she said she DOES feed Active Care. We talked about it, I read the ingredients, and pondered it. They offer treats and food for healthy joints. The lady said that within a few days, her dog was acting like a puppy, and she was so impressed that she switched and still feeds it to him.
Right now, all my dogs are on Canidae, which I feel is one of the best foods available. I'm hesitant to switch to something without being 100% convinced.
Now here's what's convincing me. They gave me samples of both the food and the treats. I have been feeding small amounts of the food and offering the treats, hoping to see some improvement in Pixie. She's had surgery on 2 of her legs and another coming soon. She just turned a year old and has the mentality of a puppy, but she has the body of an old brood.
So after trying the samples... I do think Pixie may be moving easier, but what really caught me offguard is this: BOGEY is acting like a freakin puppy! He's feeling so good, he's just about driving us nuts.
So... has anyone else had any experiences with this food?
