| I always fed Science Diet small bites too, but switched because my dogs seemed to be scratching themselves frequently and with corn being one of the main ingredients I thought I would try something else. Well the Nutro helped quite a bit with that. I don't know what it is but thought I would ask if anyone thought it could be the food. Thanks for your input!

| I think I am just a little paranoid about soy because of all the bad things I have read about it. It is known that soy is a potent hormone disruptor. There are so many other things also linked to soy. My daughter has 3 sons, ages 10, 16 and 17. The youngest and the oldest were both diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 4 years ago. Both of them were given soy formula as babies but not the middle one. After that I read that children given soy formula are much more likely to develop type 1 diabetes. Also soy is linked to thyroid disorders. I just worry about the long term effects when taking products with soy and soybean oil. All the sow being used in all these products has been genetically modified. I know this probably has nothing to do with your problem but I just thought it was worth bringing to you attention. From my experience, a 3 1/2 year old female should be at her prime. I don't usually start seeing a reduced size in litters until the females are 6 years old. It could have just been a timing issue. |

| I've been feeding Nutro Natural Choice for a while and Roxie had a litter of 6 and a litter of 7 on it. The number of pups born depends on how many were fertilized, how many implanted and how many were not absorbed. With so many contributing factors it will be quite a job trying to narrow it down.
