P.S. Her coat is not much longer than in the picture. I do believe she is a silky. Her hair nevers gets tangled and appears to be thin. |
This is something you are probably going to get many, many different opinions on, so I will just let you know what I have done. I think for the most part (not to offend anyone) that most people in here don't like using Science Diet. That is what I had Wookie
on during his first year and I thought I was just doing so good giving him that because that is what my vet recommended! (I have since become very cynical towards vets!) So I really, really started researching a ton of foods and decided to switch to Canidae. He did great on it! I was amazed at the change in his coat, breath, all kinds of stuff!! Then Canidae went and changed their formula on me, added lots of stuff they don't need to make a cheaper product. So I switched to Innova EVO kibble combined with a home cooked meal and he did great on that, but I was not sure that I was balancing the nutrients well in his homecooking. Last week, I finally made the switch to incorporate raw into his diet. I always read how great that was for them, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Now I do the rotation diet recommended by Natures Variety (and my hollistic vet is on its Pet Nutrition Council so I feel good about that). I still use the Innova for his kibble in the morning but then he gets 1/2 a NV raw medallion in the evening. He is really liking it. Don't really see much difference yet, but it has been less than a week. Since I am rotating during the day with kibble, it is not going to be that expensive for me to feed my one 8 lb baby. (I can see why people with bigger or multiple dogs won't go raw, its a little costly) Hope this helps and doesn't confuse you more!!!
