Vent about Food So this is just a vent. I feed Bella Wellness Limited Ingredient Salmon and Potato Small Breed. The size of the kibble is just right for her. Well for the past few months they have stopped producing the product; according to them it is a packaging issue with their distribution plants. Therefore, I have been purchasing the same product in regular kibble size. My frustration is that I need to grind up the kibble into smaller pieces for her. It takes her 2x as long to eat and she already is a slow eater. I called Wellness to find out if the food was discontinued but they said they are still producing it and have a packaging issue. This was a month ago. I don't want to change her food as she enjoys what she eats. I just wish they would start producing it again. The only vendors I can get it from is either Chewy or Amazon as my local pet stores do not stock the small breed kibble. I am disappointed but will for now stick it out as it is what my baby loves. |
Dog food Try Petflow.com. a good company to order from |
I understand your frustration. It sucks when something is going well and then they change it or stop producing it. I had that issue with the treats I found that were soft and I could put Callie’s meds in and she would actually take them and wham the stopped making them and now it’s a struggle again. |

Chewy is great, I get Codys food the day after I order it also. |
I love Chewy also. I use it for Thumper's food. I am just waiting for them to re-stock Bella's food for ordering |
Buddy bear eats Wellness Toy breed, really small bites, and I get it at Chewy. I have been through multiple varieties of brands of dog food which I have given away, all top brands,never anything made by Purina. I heard Purina bought out Cheys. |

Dog food Some dog owners are clueless when it comes to good food for their dog. Or they dont care. So much junk dog food out there. Oh blue buffalo has nice advertisements on tv and people are convinced. I investigate food and ingredients. Im so sick over this hills recall. Im Changing my yorkies to Fromm. Dog owners need to be aware and choose food wisely. |

I fed my 4 Wellness Small Breed (Healthy Weight) for many years, and liked the small kibble. When I was unable to get it several times, I decided to try Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrior Food. They absolutely love it, kibbles are small and the formula is specifically for what Yorkies need. Their coats are improved, appetite is great (they always finish it, where they used to leave half of the Wellness), and they just seem healthier. I'm sticking with it, and get it delivered from Amazon. Just wanted to share my experience in case anyone is interested. |
Whenever possible, I buy from local independently owned stores. I have a wonderful locally owned pet shop. The store does not "sell" dogs and cats but they do heavily support local adoptions. Friendly, knowledgeable staff are always willing to answer question. They introduced us to Grandma Mae's Country Naturals. The store we buy from is a wonderful local business full of friendly knowledgeable staff. |
The dog food saga just seems to never go away does it:D We don’t have a choice since Cali had the one and only pancreatitis bout several years ago and her lab work stays very good since she is on the Royal Canin GI low fat, but I did give her the Hills low fat as treats but have changed that now. I have decided that Royal Canin has not had a recall that I can ever remember so I will just stick with them and the success we have had. It is not very exciting food but if I throw in some canned food with it from time to time she keeps eating it. My new little rescue is on the Royal Canin Mini kibble and has gone from 1.27 pounds when I got her to 4 pounds not with a really cute little round tummy. With almost no teeth the minis seem to work well for her and she needed the calories. |

I feel ya, the petsmart near where I live stopped selling the grain-free Wellness Trufood for small breed. My girl gets yeasty if I don't make her main food, grain-free. So switched to Solid Gold's Mighty Mini "turkey and veggies" (grain-free). It actually looks similar to Wellness's Toy Breed kibble but slightly larger and of course, no grains. My little Kimchi's mouth is small, so trying to find small kibble that fits her needs is a little tricky X.x but so far, so good. |
We got a coffee grinder to use for dog treats. Not too expensive and in short bursts on a small amount it does pretty well. Since I also grind my coffee, on occasion, I have two grinders, clearly marked. |
Dog food My yorkies are Off hills rx id food. They eat Lifes Abundance dry and Fromm turkey and pumpkin wet food. Both excellent foods. You have to order Lifes Abundance on line. Breeders of yorkies use this food. A friend told me about it. My yorkies like both of thesel foods! Their coats are so nice! |

I put her on Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin about... 5 months ago? with pretty good results as well but she would still itch more than I'd like. Her poop has been great though. I have noticed itching is less when I feed her more of the RC so I may just start feeding it full time once our last bag of PPP is gone. It IS a lot cheaper though so I don't know! |

Good news after months of waiting the small breed Wellness Limited addition is now back on the market. So excited. I just ordered Bella her food. 😀 |
Update on my Kimchi and the Solid Gold's Mighty Mini. Had to change back to Wellness and got the toy breed formula (though not grain free, it works alot better for her and she's had it before). It's the Wellness line that has kibble small enough for her aside from the Trufoods small breed. Core was the suggest replacement but she won't really eat it cause the kibble is larger >< I was so sad they stop making Trufoods, because it wasn't popular enough. It was perfect for her ; ; She developed hemorrhaging, diarrhea, vomiting and intestinal infection after eating Solid Gold for a couple of weeks >_< She's doing so much better now (granted after a hefty vet visit), but I'll never stray from Wellness as the main meal for her again, unless necessary or I'm cooking it myself. |
