The Blue Buffalo was my thread! Hehe!
But I'll post on here basically what I said there. I was feeding Gizmo 4 plus star foods on the dogfoodadvisor ratings and all that happened was watery eyes, upset tummy, losing weight, and a dog that just didn't enjoy eating. And it was upsetting. Both for Gizmo and us.
So, after posting a thread and PMing Cathy and talking to Crystal, I put Gizmo on RC and he's loving it. I think dog diets, like humans are individual. I mean a "premium" food is only "premium" if your furbaby isn't crapping every hour and basically getting depressed when it comes to eating it because he know's how his tummy will react.
Am I saying to run out there and buy Ole' Roy dog food? No, but if your dog can't handle the high protein counts then he or she can't. It would be like a lactose intolerant individual having milk shoved down their throat everyday and expecting to build a tolerance.
With that being said, Gizmo is on, according to dog food advisor, a 2 star food. But, who's to argue with the fact that he loves dinner and breakfest time, poops twice a day, has a ton on energy, doesn't have watery eyes, and his stomach is growling like it use to every night..
Just IMO.
