Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Eagle Pack Anyone? Has anyone tried Eagle Pack dog food? My Yorkie has a problem with her digestive system. I have taken her to an emergency clinic and our usual vets 3 times in the past week. After a bland diet of boiled chicken breasts and white rice she still can't tolerate her Hill's Science Diet food. Even though I was introducing it slowly back into her diet by crushing a few pieces and adding to the chicken/rice. I was up half the night reading what I could feed her and came across the Eagle food. I was to the point of making her food myself. My vets said it's difficult to make a dog food that fills all of her nutritional needs. |

| I was looking at that food. I have not fed any of it, but I did order the Nzymes treats and started feeding them this morning. We will see what happens.!! |

| We have been on Eagle Pack Holistic for a year, we absolutely LOVE the food. Our rat terrier/chi mix Mia had a nasty myriad of health problems when we got her and after 2 months on the food even our vet was astounded. Our oldest mutt has congestive heart failure and he is more spry than in years past, we know it's helping him. We switched my mom's poodle to it initially and it helped cut his allergy meds down by half. The holistic varieties are the only ones to consider, Eagle Pack also makes a lesser quality of food. The only complaint I have is that the small and toy breed varieties contain multiple protien sources...which can make it harder to narrow down food sensitivities. We have 2 adult cats and dogs who eat the Anchovy fish variety and are doing great, we will be switching our newest yorkie mix pup to it when he reaches adulthood. I emailed the nutritionist on staff at Eagle and he said a toy could eat the regular Holistic varieties and still get the nutrition needed. Let me know if ever have any questions, we love the stuff!! |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Thanks for your reply. It's been a horrible week with my Yorkie. She weighs 3 pounds and there just isn't much of a margin for error. She is still on meds right now. She has always had a sensitive stomach, but last week's episode scared me. I was thinking the chicken based Eagle might be my best bet. I read many of the testimonials and it sounded like an answer to my prayers. I talked to the owner of the pet shop that carries the product. He suggested I try Evo too. After reading about it I don't think it's for small or toy dogs with the higher protein content. Small dogs have such a short digestive tract that all that protein just doesn't have the time to be filtered well. I don't want to cause her to have kidney damage either. I had no idea there were so many brands and types to pick from. Thanks again. Nicole |
