Since Lucy was a puppy mill rescue I have no idea what she was on before we got her, probably Old Roy. She was so skinny that we gave her Iams canned the first week. The only "quality" food I could find here in my little town. She ate like a liittle pig, then went after the big dogs food. They get the Kirkland Lamb and Rice from Costco. I did finally get her a bag of the Yorkshire food from Royal Canin. She liked it ok, but I think at that point she would eat anything. She finally reached her saturation point after about 3 weeks and now she is a bit more picky. My husband got a bag of Eucanuba because that was recommended to him, and she will eat it, if she has to. But she would much rather steal Griffs big dog food. She makes a million trips through the kitchen to sneak bites from his bowl to hers. I finally started putting a few kibbles of his in the bottom of her bowl and her stuff over it. That seems to work, but she is still a nibbler.
Two people at pet food places have told me that Chicken Soup is a designer food, and not all that great. It all gets so confusing, trying to figure out if people are making recommendations just to sell their own brands they like or what is really best. I mean people at the stores. I do read the ingredients and that helps, but it still gets so confusing. |
