Help!! Is My Pup Starving????

[gutu28]

I also feed Chicken Soup and I love it!!

[Gizmo's Mom]

Gizmo eats canned Chicken Soup for breakfast and some for dinner. I leave dry Chicken Soup out all day to nibble on, it works for us. He's picky and it doesn't bother his tummy.

P.S. I couldn't bare to see him go to his bowl and sniff again of course I gave him some more food and he ate it up

no, she isn't the first to say Science Diet isn't goood. Nearly one hundred percent of us feel the same way. veets all across the country (yes, even the "best" push it becaussee they get a kick-back from selling it.

my vet doesnt even reccommend it and she gets kick backs from selling it. She refused to give it to Mason....

[chachi]

My Vet reccomended it too

I would think if your puppy is still hungry feed him more....they burn off so much food at this age

Perhaps you have a pet store in your area that has sample size bags available for you take home and taste test before investing in a bag. My pet store will give a 100% return on a bag of food if not enjoyed by my gang.

This was SOOOO helpful THANK YOU!!! Things I would of never though like Chicken Soup and Exclusive were ONLY 3 STARS!!! And my poor baby with Science Diet was only 1 Star

[ytsirk27]

I used to feed Mason natural choice but i have to drive about an hour and half to get any and i dont go to the city that often at all so i switched to exclusive that i can buy locally. I didnt realize it was only 3 stars but Mason likes it and he hasnt had any problems.

Yea it is.......but also I saw that not ALL Chicken soups are 3 stars there is the puppy one under 5 out of 6 starz

[Cheska's Bella]

Well I switched Bella from a 4 star, to a 3 star, and she's doing soooo much better on this. Her coat is so shiny and thick, and she has soooo much energy. She use to sleep all day (after sleeping all night!) and now she actually plays during the day.

[~Yorkie~Mommy~]

Ok I think now all Chicken Soups get a 5 star because after further reading the editor of that rating site thought that ethoxyquin was in the meats but Chicken Soup says that it is indeed ethoxyquin free.......anyhoo I think my TWO choices are Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul and Fromm's Four Star........my poodle went to Fromm's Four Star after having bad allegic reations and come to thinkn of it he was on SCIENCE DIET Well I am glad I caught this while my pup is young and can do the change......I'll still be checking into it and reading other brands........I'll let you know what me and Bailey deceided on!

I guess it all depends on our furbabies but I am almost POSITIVE that I am going to switch to another brand

[Maizee Grace]

I used to feed Maizee Iams until I found out that there was so much corn and filler in it. She wouldn't eat much before. I switched to Canidae because my boyfriend's dog, a doby, was allergic to corn. He had to find something without fillers and was told to try Canidae. Kaiser, the doby, LOVES Canidae and so does Maizee. Now, when she hears the food stirring she comes running from all over. I'm pretty sure it's all stages too, so you can use it for puppy, adult, or senior.

[chestermama]

vets get a kick back from science diet that is why they recommend it, they have alot of by products in their food, and bha and bht and corn, you can info on the internet, iams and eukanuba is no better either.

[Lorraine]

Your puppy should have kibble down for him all the time. I switched to Royal Canin about 6 months ago and can highly recommend it although initially I was skeptical. They have a small breed puppy your baby could be on.
Never follow what they 'recommend' especially for Yorkie puppies. Yorkie puppies have to have food down all the time. You can't do that will al breeds, Cavaliers and PUgs for example would just keep eating not knowing when to stop. Yorkies do not have that problem.
I do not recommend Science Diet at all.
