They told me that they have seen numerous of dogs with G.I. problems that ate these holistic types of foods, like Blue Buffalo. I pointed out the bad ingredients on the bag, and each time they had a good reason or an answer for each thing I pointed out. I also was given other food choices as Eukanuba and Science Diet. I know all of these foods aren't high quality, so I am confused why they think their food choices are. I know they get kick backs for the food they sell at the Vet's office too.
My little guy won't eat the "Blue Buffalo" chicken. I've tried the Turkey and Fish, and he definitely won't eat those. I've even tried the Eukanuba as they suggested, and he won't touch that. He's eating the "Blue Buffalo" mixed with "Iam's Low Residue", but not much of it.
I've read the ingredients of all the brands the Vet suggested, but they all have similar ingredients but flipped around. I don't know which food to try since he's been thru numerous of brands since a puppy. He's been finikey since a puppy too. I need some suggestions of what to do since I am not happy with Iam's and he's not eating when I put the food down like most dogs. Any suggestions are appreciated. |
The only foods my dogs will consistently eat (& finish the entire bag) is Royal Canin. Regardless of what brands I try to switch to they like Royal Canin, thus I decided that's what they'll eat. They seemed to be thriving so I don't see the need to switch back and forth, some foods might be better, but some are worse. I think people can make themselves crazy over trying to find 'just the right food', if they eat it and are healthy that's what matters.
---- of course this is coming from someone who use to eat soy everything, exercise like crazy and woke up one day and thought life is too short not to eat cheeseburgers!
