I have been having difficulty getting Sissy to eat her dry food since she was sick. I went to PetSuppliesPlus today and hit the jackpot! The rep from Natural Balance was there and I got samples of all the dry varieties as well as samples of the tube Lamb and Turkey.
They make 3 dry formulas specific for allergies with a single source protein and single source carbohydrate. They are the potato & duck, sweet potato & fish (salmon), and vennison & brown rice. The other dry formula (blue bag) has all the protein and carbohydrates. They have the tube rolls of food as well as canned varieties. The canned food is FDA approved for human use as well. Don't think I'll actually try it, but the rep says it tastes good.
The rep was very knowledgable. She said they don't have a specific puppy formula because the food is such a good grade they wean puppies directly onto the standard food. I told her what was going on with Sissy not eating her dry food and she thinks it may be because her meds are making things taste bad.
I'm going to hold off on trying the dry food till Sissy is done with her meds. I did try a little of the lamb roll and she ate it right up!!
Also, if you read the post on grading dog food, you will find that Natural Balance was the highest rated.
Hope this helps you all.
