You know, Britster, i learn a lot from you! I really do! I transitioned Ruby over to the Evo in about 10 days. I was home cooking for her and the vet advised me against that, saying she wasn't getting a balanced diet. Then she got sick and went back on the chicken and rice, so I left her on straight chicken and rice until her poop returned to normal, then started to switch her over to Now! and NB. All in all it seemed like a month before she was eating only dog food. I still ocassionally slip in some chicken as a special treat. As for the GSD, I always thought he had an iron stomach I was wrong. I was also wrong to let him eat Ruby's leftovers. I just thought he's so much bigger and it's just a little bit. You know, you learn as you go. It just sets you back a few vet bills, right? Leslie | |

| Yes because if you live it Arkansas you can't find half of the good brands. You have to order online or settle.

| I've been feeding Coffee EVO for the last year. She has a real sensitive stomach, and EVO was one of the only foods she would eat, and wouldn't make her sick. We're using the Small Bites Red Meat. No problems with weight gain or activity levels. And we just leave the food out during the day and refill if we notice its empty. Our new boy that we got last month switched over to it real easy and has been doing good on it. |

| Ok, thank you all for your responses! I decided against EVO. Instead I went with Wellness. I hope I am making a right decision. They have a good rating and were willing to send me samples. Rosie did eat it and seems to be handling it ok. I am mixing it right now with her old food. So, I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. It has to be better than the Bil Jac she was eating before.

| Thanks! I needed to hear that. The changing of food has been quite a decision for me. I think it took me longer to decide on her food than it does for me to decide on my families. Can you imagine!!

Just remember that there is no ONE best food; there are a number of high quality foods available and whichever is the one that you're happy with and your baby does well on is the best..that is different for everybody. | |
