| i went to Petland y'day and got free samples of the AVODerm (never heard of this one but the ingredients looked good) and the Pinnacle. I had never heard of either of these brands but neither have corn, wheat, or byproducts in there. The kibbles are small and i have offered the Pinnacle to the girls but so far, they haven't been interested. I then went to another mom&pop pet store and picked up free samples of Wellness and Nature's Variety Raw Instinct, which is grain free and high meat protein. I haven't tried the girls on any of these yet. They also carried the Merrick's canned dog food. We tried the Chicken Pot Pie last night. My puppy gobbled it down but she had diarreah this morning (probably from changing foods) but my older girls wouldn't touch it. I will just introduce the new stuff gradually to see how they react. I usually just mix in a little beef or chicken into their kibbles and they eat that just fine. They eat the Eagle Pack Holistic Chicken since it has a really tiny kibble. So many of the foods have too large of kibble no matter how good the product is, my girls cannot get their mouth around it! If anyone has any comments on any of these brands, i would appreciate any input. .....Linda |

| Oh, thanks! Chicken Soup I think is made at the Diamond plants or factories or whatever you call it.

| I'm using three different kinds right now. I use Nutri Source Puppy for Brea cause the bites are so small and it's a good food. I am using Nature's Varitey mixed with Merricks, kibbles in the morning and raw at night for Tinka -Kaya was on the same till her bout with sickness and I switched her to Solid Gold Hund-N-Flock to see if it was allergies to the other foods. When this bag is gone I probably won't buy it again cause her stools are HUGE with this food. |

Slightly overcook rice or couscous the old fashion way in water in a pan on the stove. (No micro-waving) While cooking, add shredded carrots and minced fish or meat. (chicken, beef, turkey) When done, ad 1/2 teaspoon of Olive oil, let cool and ad a food supplement with minerals and vitamins (from either your vet or the pet store) You can precook and freeze portions. Take them out of the freezer the night before and let thaw in the refrigerator. For dogs and cats who only eat dry food if added wet food to it, ad Gerber's baby food to it. For those of you who are too lazy to cook for your pets, give them fat free table scratches AFTER washing it off from salt and sauces. Hope this nightmare will be over soon. Good luck to all, | |

| Thanks for the info Erin. I think i will just stick to what their systems are used to right now. I am getting Princess spayed on Thursday so i don't want to change anything right now and give her gas or diarreah. She prefers the canned dog food to the kibbles since she has both sets of teeth. That will be fixed Thursday also so she can eat the kibbles easier after that. We have just had her for 2 weeks so we are still getting used to each other and she is still learning our routine. We certainly don't want gassy girls! ....Linda |

| To answer PUPPYLUV, yes, I am most familiar with the different brands of dog food. Pick your favorite brand, call the company that makes it and ask to have a tour to see how it's made. They WILL NOT let anyone see their plant with all the dead animal carcasses stacked high, the stench being unbearable and people all wearing gas masks. Sound yummy? |

| There's a food called...The Honest Kitchen www.thehonestkitchen.com All ingredients are human grade FDA approved, made in a human food facility, not a pet food plant. You all might want to check that out. It seems pretty good...I'm thinking of looking into it. It looks like this one probably wouldn't have dead animal carcasses and nastiness like that.

I will email for samples because we have about 8 bags of very high quality dogfood that we will donate to a shelter. It gets expensive after awhile. we would like to put a dish down and see them eat it. Thanks, PRINCESS RUBY AMBRA'S MOM |

| Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I went to Care A Lot Petstore today. They have one about 10 minutes from me. I got a big 40 pound dog. Now all 3 of my dogs can eat the same food. I am sooo excited! They had the 40 pound bag on sale for $25 too! Which is great because that is the size I buy for my 97 pound doggy! I will let you know how they like it. The care a lot rep swore by it! |
