If it is anything like it is over here your vet will be getting a nice big kick back for recommending it to you.

I feed Noah Burns Puppy dry food chicken and rice, i don't think you can buy it over there but it is a great dry food, recommended by my vet and not sold in her practise, so no kick back and she uses it herself and i also use the dlult one for William his bestest one is venison and brown rice, then he likes lamb and veg or sorry any other thing they make everything is made with organic ingredants, free range eggs etc.

Also on the subjsct of Iams and Eukanuba i wouldn't touch them with a dirty toilet brush and most dog lovers in this country would tell you the same. you can buy the food here in the supermarkets for knock down prices

I have three yorkies, a german shepherd and a welsh corgi. I have them all switched now to Canidae and all are doing well. Allergies, bad skin, all of them. I really like the stuff and so do they. My finicky three pounder, who I actually had an ultrasound done because I was afraid he had a liver shunt, is eating it the best and he wasn't eating anything! I really like it and have researched a lot of foods out there. One of the Yorkie rescue ladies told me to try it and it was one of the best tips I got. It's worth a try!

My boys get the Natural Choice Ultra, by Nutro. We never have stomach problems and they love it. Right now we're we're feeding half adult and half puppy...

My doggies are eating chicken soup for the puppy lovers soul. They love it!

I was wondering if anyone could post the results or site where 'Whole Dog Journals' selections of best/worst dog food can be found. I am currently searching for a new brand to try as Bella's 'trial bag' is about half-way empty (and I'd like to be able to adjust her with some of her 'familar' food), so any suggestions would be helpful as well!

Tini was eating ProPlan Puppy dry food mixed with ProPlan moist puppy small breed. Since it was time to switch her to dog food from puppy, I decided to stop the dry food as well. I tried feeding her just the proplan dry, but she refused to eat it for 2 days and I was panicing. I ended up trying the Royal Canin Mini Yorkshire and she loved it from the start. So far no issues with being sick or itching, so I guess we found our match!

I now have both of mine eating Nutro Natural Choice, Pixie on the puppy and bit of adult and Tuffy on the adult small bites. I've tried a lot of foods with Tuffy and so far he is doing so much better on Nutro than he has on any other food, even the expensive holistic ones. Tuffy had a lot of tummy issues when he was eating Flint River and almost never had firm stools. After a lot of trial and error I decided to try Nutro since Pixie's breeder recommended it and sure enough it has made a world of difference. I still think Flint River is a fantastic food but I think it was just too rich for Tuffy's sensitive stomach.

I started to switch Gucci to Natural Balance the Allergy Formula and the beef rolls.

Maggie was on Pro Plan Puppy, but I had to doctor it with everything in the refrigerator and pantry. Switched her to Royal Canin 33. First food I don't have to doctor. Hard to believe, but it's true.
