My vet recommends it though - although I will admit I have heard other people claim it is not the best. Im always skeptical of changing food because of her fussy appetite. These pellets are so nice and small too which she loves. I fed her a Hills intestinal food once when her tummy was upset and she refused to eat it mainly due to the size of the kibble.
I would think most foods have corn etc in them?
Im going to look into the grass allergy idea because she is outside a lot. and also the anxiety issue because latly she has become very clingy and upset when I go out. Even if i walk outside she has to come with. when i shower she sits outside the door and won't move. She loves my boyfriend too but if she has a choice it's me she wants to be with. I'm concerned it might also have something to do with separation anxiety. |
