If its not on the list of top knotch than so be it.  If your dogs did well on the beneful than why not put them back on it??? I know its not the best out there, but if your pets enjoyed, then it's worth it. Yes, your pets should enjoy eating, they shouldnt be made to eat something they dont like. You wouldnt eat liver if you didnt like it right? (not being rude, just making a point  ). Good luck with your pet food search, I hope you can find something they will eat and enjoy!!
oh have you tried dogswell? I just put my dogs on it and they love it. They wouldnt touch any of the other better foods but totw. Its not the highest quality food, but its not the lowest either. They make some awesome treats too.  |
The problem is while they did enjoy the taste of the food , the food itself was horrible for them. They were itching , licking paws , rubbing her face , biting all oer...all of which I just thought was normal dog behavior
. I didn't know about allergies ( Syd was our first dog ...I didn't even ask the vet about it . I just thought that's what dogs did) So while they would eat it . I wouldn't let them !
After I stopped with that food , all those symptom's stopped. They sometimes lick a paw occasionally now and then but for the most part they do none of that now.
I really do understand what your saying about what is the point of high quality food if they wont eat it ....but I do believe a high quality food without corn by products etc. would be better for them , especially given Syd's reaction to the others , so even if it takes a while I will try and go through them slowly to find "the one"
I want to give them the best that they will eat.
I was hoping by stopping the canned food , the poo would subside...but so far...still alot of poo
