Pet food, good kibble, bad kibble. It is so overwhelming sometimes reading up about the good foods and the bad foods and what if my dogs don't like what I feed them. -sigh- When I got my yorkie baby the breeder had her on Iams puppy. I switched her (and my other doggie) from that to Royal Canin, they seemed to like that, and my older dog gained weight, which was something he had a hard time doing before. He looked awesome, Tila liked it she ate it, but she seemed to have a lot of itches. Other than that they really did seem to be doing fine on it, but then one day they both got the runs and they got sick, after I starting feeding them from a new opened bag of RC. Not sure if that had anything to do with the food. But I then went and switched them to Wellness, which is what they are still currently on. I heard it was a good food, much preferred over RC. But, since switching them I noticed that they don't itch as much and Odie eats the food, but Tila doesn't really eat it at all. She will really only eat when Odie eats, when before on RC she would eat anytime, and Odie's coat doesn't look as great as it did. Now I have heard nothing but great things about Natural Balance and am thinking of switching them again. I'm again heading into the city next week and will pick some up, which should I try? They have different kinds of NB right? Does anyone know the price range for NB? Not that it matters, I will pay anything to have my dogs eating a healthy, good food. But I noticed for I think it was a 10kg bag of RC was like $65 and for a 12kg bag I think of Wellness it was $35. I'm just confused and want my yorkie to eat more instead of having her food just sit and sit in her dish. So anyone have any suggestions? Should I still keep trying them on Wellness or should I try NB? NB is a good food right? No icky stuff in it? lol. Thanks everyone!!
