This is a food question, not to be turned into a debate of any kind please and I dont need to be told how bad corn etc in dog food is and how it compares to mcdonalds etc, etc, etc. I need to know WHY dogs "crave" it, if its so bad?
My dogs are on TOTW pacific stream and blue buffalo canned. Good stuff. They have been on numerous different foods (as most of you know) and will only eat certain protiens and often stop eating and I have to find a new food they will eat.
Im going to be honest and will say that just recently they were on science diet again, their lamb and rice formula because I couldnt get them to eat anything else. They liked it, ate it fine but were terrible stinky on it. So when the new tractor supply opened up in my town, I tried them back on TOTW. They eat it, but dont love it (takes them about 2.5 days to eat a 1/2 cup) Tucker recently has been throwing up (just once, small amount) about 2 to 3 times a week and its all canned food, so Im gonna have to take him at least off the canned.
My cats are on Purina one.. yes, I know bad stuff, but its is the only food they will eat. SO of course when they drop a peice of food, (its kept on my bathroom counter) the littles will run and often argue about who is gonna eat that one peice.
Yesterday we caught my toy poodle eating out of the cat box. She has NOT done this since she was a puppy. SO Im thinking because after 3 years she is wanting cat poo, probably mostly consists of corn that obviously there is something her body is lacking and she needs it. Why else would she want it? Right??
