IF you prefer little bites Chicken Soup, Fromm Family, earthborn, Artemis. All good and have small bites. Things to watch out for in ingredients Wheat, Corn, Soy, BArley (high in sugar), and white rice. Brown rice is great, rye is good ... But WHEAT CORN and SOY ... alllllll bad!!! Plus you will notice a HUGE difference in their coat. Wee bits is a pretty good affordable food. I hope I can help. I'm a health nut with my pets (I wish I was the same with myself LOL). |
Thanks for the help everyone. I called the vet today to see if I could get them to import the dog food of my choice under their license. When she said "no" (it was worth a try!) I asked her if I should have it shipped via UPS or get someone to bring it over for me in a suit case. Here's what she said,
"If you order online from a petshop in the US or somewhere else then you'll end up with customs duties and will need an import permit from the Ministry here...big deal..." So we'll have to rely on friends to bring us bags of food... If they have too many bags customs will take them away b/c they think you're selling it illegally. not an ideal situation. I could ask people to help once or twice but I can't keep asking for the next 2-3 years (that's how long we'll be here). The easiest solution, and the thing that makes the most sense is to put them on Royal Canin for the next few years, then switch to a high quality food when we return to the states
I'm not happy about it... but it just makes for sense for our situation.
