He eats the kibble only and if he seems a bit off color I feed him the canned for a while. So far he has been very healthy and is now nearly nine years old. I agree that the ingredients aren't what I thought were proper for a dog, but the food works so well for him and he loves it, so I continue to feed it to him.
Dogs, like humans, react differently to food and perhaps this diet does not work for all. But in our case it has been a perfect food. The only issue I have is that the food does not seem satisfying for my dog and he seems to always be hungry, so I tend to fed smaller amounts more often.
So that works here and I guess you have to try what works for your dog or cook a special diet. |
Yes, you do have to feed more of the food. I found mine was losing weight...once I added extra food, she was fine.
