In a really sick pup, these foods can save lives!

Oh and right before this bout of diarrhea I was using a little raw mixed with the kibble. I'm a little leary of raw though....I'm so scared I would accidently make him sick. Does anyone know anything about the Honest Kitchen? All of the ingredients are human grade. |
Yes, I saw what you are feeding and I was simply telling you that I prefer to listen to what my vets advise.
The website I advised is run by a vet nutritionist. I am pasting her credentials below......I much prefer advice from her than people like the dog food advisor guy ....
