With all these recalled brands, what do you feed your pup? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Same here - home-cooking. I'm just continuing what the breeder did.

The Wellness Complete Health® Super5Mix® Large Breed Puppy was recalled.... but I don't think the Wellness for puppies was.

both of mine eat Royal Canin, it is the only one that Jasmine would eat. So that is what Tucker eats also. Both seem to really like it. Both heathly and happy

OMG. Thanks! He is on regular puppy.

I feed Mckenzie Earthborn Holistics Ocean Fusion. She loves it! She came to me on Nutro and for the longest I feed her that, but all of a sudden she stopped eating it. I can't give her anything where the kibble size is made for small breeds. She swallows it whole and then throws it up later on.

I have to give her the regular size kibble so she has to chew it.

Bella is in the middle of a transition from Wellness Small Breed Puppy to Wellness Small Breed Adult, like her older brother.

However, Toby has been dealing with a case of diarrhea recently and the only thing I can narrow it down to is a new bag of his Wellness Small Breed Adult. Bella's mix is about 50/50 right now but she's not having poop issues, but I can't think of anything else at the moment. Well, after research and finding out about the recall (even though it is for the adult large breed), I'm not taking any chances. I'm returning that Wellness bag tomorrow and either going to look into the Blue Wilderness or now even Royal Canin, since y'all seem to have such luck with it.

I am so confused at this point. I had my girls on TOTW recently and then when I heard of the recall tried Now! Since a week ago Sophie has had poo "issues" (bloody diarrhea) but not sure what caused it and after 2 vet visits he put her on Hills i/d. Problem is I thought grains were not a good idea and this seems to have a bunch.
To make my life even more confusing Bella gets itchy if she has chicken so I need foods that don't have chicken. I bought a bag of Orijen 6fish but boy oh boy does that stuff stink!! I can hardly stand the smell.
I would hope I can get them both on the same food but I guess we will have to see if we can wean Sophie off the i/d but maybe not.

I have Riley on Acana/Pacifica. He is Thriving!!

You can give canned pumpkin that will help firm up loose stools. Not the pumpkin pie filling, but pure pumpkin....

I give it to Riley as a random treat... The can says it is good for 3-days after opened. A friend sent me a can and said that what she does is puts it in a large Sandwich baggie and flattens it out as much as possible. She then breaks pieces off of it. I did the same thing and he just LOVES it!!

This is the brand he has:

My dog has had three cases of bloody diarrhea along with vomiting since feb 2011. The last two cases were this winter. Everything has come back negative so I figure it's food intolerances or allergies. I give her natural balance canned fish and sweet potato. But because of the recalls and the fish being preserved with ethoxyquin (spelling probably wrong) I'm looking to switch her to canine caviar. Mine to doesn't tolerate grains at all or chicken. I also give her animal essentials plant enzymes and probiotics which I feel like has really helped her. Pretty good bowel movements since I put her on it at the end of February and no vomiting. I would def look into plant enzymes and probiotics and grain free limited ingredients. Hope this helps.

We are doing the Acana/Pacifica, now.

Did you take Riley off of Primal Raw?? Moses loves it so much!
