i'd say make it very slowly so that he doesn't get the runs (diarrhea). Or you can get canned pumping (not the pumpkin pie filling) give a teaspoon with each meal when you switch, to help him from either not getting diarrhea, or help make it not so bad.

in 1/2 cup.. i'd say put like a little less than a handful of Innova (i'm so bad with math and allthat 1/3, 1/4 lol.. and then every day, put a little bit more, and a little bit more (and of course a little bit less of the last food) until youre all on Innova!

i hope that makes sense and helps some.

Yorkie_Girl,
Why pumpkin? What does it do???

Yorkie_GirL · 05-30-2005, 11:17 AM

pumpkin is supposed to help with the diarrhea, i don't know for sure, but i can find out for you.

Angel4791 · 05-30-2005, 11:20 AM

I know it's not the best or the worst... it's not on either list just wondering what people think of it?

Does anyone know anything about "Natural Choice" dog food??? Good? Bad? Ok? Thanks!

I feed Pebbles Organix all natural, I use to feed her Royal Canine and it made her scratch all the time because of the corn.

Sorry for taking me so long, but to keep it short and simple.

Pumpkin has special fibers in it that helps the stomach with diarrhea and constipation and soothes the stomach.

this is about real pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie filling.

hope this helps some

My little Yorkie has had somewhat skin itching since I have had her and then the terrible Hot Spot issue and the vet suggested IVD for sensitive skin and dogs with allergies! Have you heard of it!? Potatoe and duck I believe!

I switched my 3 month old Harley from the Eukanuba the breeder was feeding to Natural Balance Ultra Dry with a little bit of the NB roll mixed in. So far he seems to be doing great. I also have a 2 year old mini schnauzer who has always had a sensitive stomach and been EXTREMELY finicky about eating ... she would go for days and turn her nose up at any dog food I tried. She is now on the Natural Balance and she eats it every day. It's the first dog food I've ever seen her excited about eating.

Deegan's mom · 08-03-2005, 06:16 AM

I feed Deegan Performatrin Ultra. I got it at Pet Valu. It seems to be an excellent food (according to me... but then again.. who am I.).

Deegan loves it and eats it over anything else. He preferred it over Solid Gold and Natural Balance.

If someone ever finds it, I'd love to hear what you think about it.

I switched Gucci's food to Canidae. Gucci is the most finicky doggie I ever knew. I was feeding her Natural Balance and now she wont eat it. That is why I decide to switch her food again. I hope to find the food she likes soon. Anyone feeding Canidae to your pup?

Brady's Mom · 08-04-2005, 08:09 AM

No, but I've heard and read very good things about Canidae. I am now cooking for my pup - she also eats kibble but it only makes up about 1/3 of her diet. The kibble I feed her is Fromm's Four Star Nutritionals Chicken a la Veg. Does anyone else feed this type??
