| ![]() I switched foods to one that doesn't contain wheat in it, even though mine wasn't recalled.

| ![]() I started a while back feeding the Chicken Soup for the puppy or dog Lovers Soul as it is all natural and I was tired of all the by products. Great food as all mine love it. |

| ![]() When all these recalls started I did a ton of research and decided recalls or no recalls I couldn't continue to feed my dogs any of the dry foods or canned foods. I am sick by what goes into them on almost every level. We were using Natural Balance Ultra Premium but stopped shortly after the recalls started. Now that the recalls have starrted to effect Natuaral Balance I am so glad we stopped right away. I was not happy to see that Natural Balance comes from the Diamond plants either. We are now using Honest Kitchen which is all human food grade and has a very short ingredient list. (and all ingredients that I can pronounce and nothing I am unfarmiliar with) I like that i know exactly what's in there and that it doesn't contain anything like the 5D meats. YUCK! We are doing some home cooking along with thier Honest Kitchen but mostly just to add variety. Kim

| ![]() I stopped using the Nat. Bal. venison immediately & returned them to the store but still have them on the duck/potato forumla from Nat. Bal. as well as the Solid Gold Wee Bits. I am looking into the Honest Kitchen product!

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | ![]() I switched to Holistic Eagle Brand. It has no wheat in it and I pray that it's safe. Only problem is, the girls really don't care for it, they eat it, but only when they get hungry. I have been mixing a little chicken in with it to get them to eat it. |

| ![]() I use Canidae (dry and canned). So far all is good for this brand. I won't stop using it unless I hear of a problem. I used to cook for all our dogs. But they tended to pick through and only eat the chicken out of it. I decided they were not getting a balanced diet -- so back to a combo of canned and dry premium food. I have tried several other brands -- but Canidae is best for us as it is an all life stage food. I have 4 dogs from pups to seniors and this way they can all eat the same thing. Plus -- they seem to eat it well. It has no wheat, corn, or byproducts.

| ![]() I feed my two Artemis. I'm constantly checking the website for recall updates. Though, I do go back and forth on the idea of just cooking for them. I really am unsure as to what to do... ![]()

| ![]() Hi guys...I have found a new brand of dogfood and started feeding that to my girls, Kayla and Kessa....It's called "Blue" By Blue Buffalo brand. It's all natural. We were using Eukanuba until the girls got sick and had to go to the vet! That stuff got thrown out quick!!! No more for them. Now it's nothing but the natural stuff with things we ourselves would eat in there! I can't afford to take any chances!!! |

| ![]() I used to feed Canidae dry, occasionally the wet, homecook and Human Grade Canine Cuisine. Now that his Canidae is almost finished, I am not sure if I should buy another after hearing about Natural Balance being recalled. Meanwhile, I am cooking for him. At least I know what I buy and cook is what he is getting rather than you don't really know what is in a kibble. Can the dog food manufacturers really be trusted after all? Canidae is a good brand though. I guess I'd just cook for him until the whole issue is over and something has been done to change the current situation.

| ![]() We go all Canidae... wet and dry. Pixie is still considered a puppy, Bogey's an adult. It's wonderful, they both love it, and Pixie even eats it without a hassle. She's a VERY finicky eater. A couple weeks ago, our feed store ran out of the only flavor of Canidae canned that Pixie will eat (Bogey's not so picky), so on a whim, I looked at Natural Balance and bought them the fish and venison flavors. Now that's been recalled. I called my husband and he threw out all the open cans and the rest will be returned. In the meantime, we went to another town last night in search of the Canidae to get them back on something reliable. And when we found it, we bought an entire case of it. No more worrying if anyone will have our food!

| ![]() I feed my two Canidae dry and Merrick's dry. As long as they are both safe, I will continue to use them. Home cooking is great, but Baxter has a tendency to gain weight and it would be harder to control calories with home cooked.
