Avocados are recommended for underweight dogs in natural diets. They are poisonous to birds though.

Right now I feed Lucy and all my dogs Canidae. I totally believe in good quality foods with good wholesome ingredients. It make your pets live longer and healthier and I really do believe it makes a difference.

Plus I really wanted a food with good enzymes for good intestinal flora. I have also fed in the past Wysong, Innova, California natural, Natual balance,and Solid Gold? Those are also very good brands. I would some day like to feed raw foods. When money was tight i fed them atleast Nutro.

I personally would not buy Science Diet or Eukenuba, simply because you can spend the same amount of money on a brand that has way higher quality ingredients and are natural and wholesome rather than paying for a brand that has alot of hype or advertisements. JMO. Not saying it is a terrible food or anything though.

Tinka is almost 5 months and she has been eating Royal Canin small breed puppy - which is what the breeder had her on. I found a store near by that just started selling Merrick and I bought a bag of the Puppy Plate.(and got 3 free cans of Merrick too!) I mixed a bit of the dry in with her Royal Canin and put a touch of water in to make a little gravy, and I have never seen her eat like that! She loves it. So, I will be mixing a little and maybe trying different things. I don't want her to get stuck on one kind so that she won't eat anything else. But I do like the Merrick - I like the ingredients.

My2Furbabies · 04-26-2006, 08:56 AM

I feed both my cats and my yorkie Life's Abundance. No corn or wheat or meat by-products. They love it! you can find it here: http://www.healthypetnet.com/kendalb . I do all I can to promote it, because so many people are feeding their pets crap.... I'm still working on my mom and dad and their dog, but my dad is very resistant to change.

Well I've tried many,
I have bags of
Science diet
Royal Canine# 30
Nutro
Iams
Eukanuba
and Puppy Chow.

I have three choices out for them at all times and they eat what they choose. Some times they eat one kind and sometimes another.

I've read good and bad about them all, but I figured none of them can be too bad or they wouldn't stay in business.

I also feed Ceasars of puppies twice a day.

I'm feeding both Bambi and ManTou Royal Canin Mini Puppy. Bambi is already 1 year old, i tried switching him to Royal Canin Yorkie, but he either doesn't like the taste, or doesn't like the big bite. Is there any Super Premium food out there that has small adult bites?

chestermama · 04-29-2006, 03:39 PM

I have chester on solid gold wee bits for under 20 lb dogs, he likes it better than rc and it has bison in for a protein. It has no wheat soy corn salt or sugar in it, it is cheaper than rc
