Bailey also loves Royal Canin, but I think is developing an allergic reaction to it. (scratching and eyes are starting to run) I am getting a new puppy on 2/10 and asked the breeder what Angel is eating now and she has her dogs on Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Dry Food. It is grain free, and potatoe free. I got a couple samples and Bailey seems to like it...yeaaaaa... It is a for all life stages..so I hope she continues to eat it! naturesvariety.com//iloveit I tried Bailey on Eagle Holistic Pack and she would not eat it....picky..picky

| Sparky was put on SD by the vet when I took him in for his first visit. Then I found this web site and I switched him to Merrick's. But I have noticed he is still scratching. He doesn't have fleas, so what's up? |

| I have chelsea on Innova, Nutro and the last canidae. She stops scratching and her eye boogers are less after I put her with canidae. No wonder people recommend highly about it. Go canidae ! |

| I have the puppy Natural Choice but had to switch cause the pieces were too big for her to chew. She wasn't eating all that well till I figured out the problem. I put her on NutriSource and she's doing great on that. She is under 3 lbs and needs the tiny kibble, apparently. As she grows I will try and get her on the foods my others are on. omega |
