She has blood work yearly for the last few years because she is a senior....and most people don't believe she is as old as she is. That being said....Winnie's tummy couldn't handle most of the foods we offered her. She has been on BB ( from the breeder), Iams, wellness, science diet ideal balance, simply nourish, orijen and acana. We finally found one that agrees with her tummy and she actually eats which is natures variety prairie (which by the way is surprisingly affordable!). I know food is a major hot button topic....but having worked at a vets office as a tech for years....food is not usually the first culprit sought when it comes to allergies. It sounds more like they may be avoiding the vet than anything else. On the food subject....if someone isn't asking an "opinion" on what food should be fed to their pets....it's not my place to judge for what they do feed. Not everyone can afford the high prices these so called best of the best dog food companies sell. That's just my take on it. |
Exactly mine eat Iams and a little little caesar in the morning and they have been going strong for close to 11 yrs with no allergies or health problems.
