 I FEED DICK VAN PATTEN'S "NATURAL BALANCE"->
I've been feeding this food, pretty much since it hit the market. Overall I like it and so do my dogs, but then again I've always had good eaters. The first time they walk away from their food for more than two minutes, I take it up.
OH, and as far as FLINT RIVER RANCH is concerned, I think they have excellent marketing and the food is of good "quality", as in the ingredient, but I wonder if their ratios are simply off. There is a single dog that I've met that hasn't had either loose stool or soft (more common) stool while being fed this diet. I've had a lot of my clients try FRR; Wellness; Solid Gold and Artemis and the general concesis is that many would like to stick w/ either Natural Balance or Artemis. I happen to agree! But the best thing you can do is get samples and test your dog on taste first. Does he/she like it? Okay, then stick w/ it for awhile and see how his/her body reacts to it! All of these foods are higher quality and are deemed "Rich" by many nutritionalist, so to switch from one to another SHOULDN'T yeild any diarrhea (sp?).
