Hi there ... sorry for the slow response and thank you for all the replies ...
I've heard and read of the nutro recalls as well but being the only food she would eat it was that or nothing ... so with that choice it was a risk I was willing to take ...
The first food I tried with her was the RC Yorkie Puppy formula and she ate some of it the first few days then it sat there for days on end like the rest ....
So it sounds like its OK to have her eating adult food at this stage of her life so that's a plus ... as for her choking on the larger kibble .. the other beauty of the RC Maxi formula is its fairly small for a large dog kibble and its flat and round like a little doughnut and it very easy for her to chew up and real really enjoys grabbing one and sitting on the floor and eating it and then grabbing one again and repeating till they are all gone .... :-)
One question that didn't get answers is about the bone marrow (butcher bones) she pretty much gets a plate full of that every morning and from my understanding bone marrow has a lot of nutrients and good fats in it .... so between that and the food the big dog eats she should be getting the nutrients she needs (that how I see it anyway but would like opinions)
As for the small breed puppy kibble I got her .... the one bowl that I put out 2 weeks ago still has not been finished so basically another $15 - $20 wasted .... there has to come a time when I stop trying everything and anything ... I've done the sample run as well at every little pet store I can find as well :-)
thanks everyone ... again very very much appreciated ... hope everyone is staying safe and warm
cheers |
