| On my way to changing their diet!! Ozzy has had a problem with eye drainage every since he was a pup. Harley has never had a problem, so I just figured that Ozzy either had allergies to something in his environment. About six months ago I was reading some threads about grain free foods and helping with the eyes. Well Ozzy refused to even touch it...UGH!! So I kinda let that issue slide. When we bred Harley, we switched her food and suddenly she had eye drainage. LIGHT BULB MOMENT for me! DUH! Years ago I used to feed BARF method to my show dogs. Because of our lifestyle, feeding that way now may be difficult, so I decided to go dehydrated and definitely grain free. I placed an order from Honest Kitchen for the dogs (Love) and the cats (Prowl), because I always have dry kibble for the snacking, I purchased Holistic Select Grain Free Adult and Puppy Health Salmon and Anchovy/Sardine Meal. Has anyone had any experience with either of these brands? I am hoping that this combination will help with their eyes.... hoping that they like it....and hoping it will help with their overall health! |

| Honest Kitchen is an excellent brand (especially the Love and Zeal formulas...those are definitely the 2 that I would feed if I were going to use it as the main food source) and I've used many of the sample and small packs as toppers...THK looks kinda unappealing when rehydrated but Toki really loved it! I would make it the night before and add extra warm water in the morning with breakfast to make it soupy and mix it in with her kibbles. I hope those foods work out for your pups and kitties! Keep us posted |

| I fed Yoshi Holistic Select when I first brought him home. It was the sardine small breed puppy formula with the purple writing on the bag. The kibble size is perfect - very tiny for little mouths. But it's very fishy smelling. Unfortunately, Yoshi isn't a fish guy...so he wouldn't touch it. After many trials & errors, I'm now feeding Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural. Both of my pups eat it, as well as my 9 year old Lab. I'm going to stick with that for a while because I think it's practically a miracle that I'm able to feed all of my dogs the same food. I mainly feed dehydrated (I free feed the kibble after their morning meal). I feed Primal & rotate between the chicken, lamb & beef. I've tried a lot of dehydrated & my pups like Primal the best. I like the consistency the best. It isn't soupy and/or saucy & it re-hydrates very quickly compared to anything else I've tried. Good luck with the Holistic Select & Honest Kitchen! They're both very good foods, but the just didn't work for us

| Jackson started getting eye drainage while on Fromm ... it started after feeding the grain inclusive formulas though, not the grain-free, so I don't know if it's a Fromm problem or a grain problem, or something else. Just seems odd. They go away once I start feeding Acana again.
