I know a lot of dogs get eye boogers on crappy foods, like Ol' Roy, Purina, Kibbles n Bits, and foods with lots of fillers. But sometimes different ingredients react to different dogs in different ways... I think it's just a matter of finding what works right for your dog. Fromm is an excellent food, IMO, but it causes major eye boogers in Jackson as well as a few others here on YT. |
Hehe... never said that... said this:

IMHO... I consider high protein to be over 23%, mid range 18-23%, low protein is 14-18%. I would only feed low protein for medical reasons. I cut the protein on my senior (senior diet)... and he wasn't acting right... so I went back up to a midrange protein%... happy to say he's doing much better.
