Has anyone tried the Canisource dehydrated food. Made in Canada. My research states that even the pickest eaters will eat it. I think I will try this one. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried it.

This is fantastic! Thank you so much. I have been dabbling with Amelia's diet and now I feel I at least have some new tips to try!

Shawna, I am not a fan of dehydrated foods as this removes all the water content which is so important for healthy BM. This is true for our furry friends and us humans!

with the recent recall for Merrick....I feel it's time for a kibble change for the girls....I am thinking about switching to Lifes Abundance...I know several YTer's feed this brand. I went to the LA site and couldn't see if it said it is a small kibble....could someone here give me some input on this food? does it make them gassy? bad breath? soft poop? I will be starting them on it gradually...but, with any new food they tend to spit out the old and eat the new!

Thanks in advance!

I just emailed Natural Balance for free samples.
This is the response I got:
Thank you for contacting Natural Balance and for your interest in our products. Congratulations on your new puppy! I would be happy to have samples of our small bites formulas sent for your puppy to try. The samples usually take about two weeks to arrive via UPS. I will also have coupons sent to the address you have provided. Please let me know if you have any further questions in the meantime. Have a great day!

I think I like these people! And I know Harper loves the food.

That was a very nice response from them...my dogs like it for a while and then
they won't eat it

My girls used to love EVO. The last bag I got I noticed the kibble looked and smelled different. The ingredients were the same, but they were picking out the old kibble. Soon they started puking! Turns out the company was sold to P&G. No wonder! My girls fav now is TOTW Wetlands, but I rotate with other kinds.

Both Artemis and Natural Balance shipped me very generous samples, and very quickly. Giaco started out on the breeder's choice of Vet's Choice Health Extensions Little Bites, but tired of it at one point, so I started my search. He loves the Artemis Small breed (small kibble). He likes all the Natural Balance flavors, but it is a bit bigger so he usually eaves some in the bowl. He is a bit of a gourmet (AKA picky), so I rotate the kibble flavors with his home cooked wet food, so he doesn't get bored. He has made it clear he will not eat the same protein endlessly, so I rotate lamb, chicken and beef home cooked recipes with his kibble. I also use a great supplement called NuVet Plus which was recommended by the breeder. NuVet web site is here NuVet Labs — Home

So I tried this the other day...results as follows:
Nature's Variety, Merrick, and Natura only offered money back guarantees (although Natura at least tried to look up a Japanese retailer for me).
Solid Gold, Canidae and Wellness all sent prompt replies saying that samples were in the evening mail pickup (score!).
Fromm said they were sending a coupon and has a money back guarantee also. We'll see if I can use that coupon online...
Champion was the last one I tried and they only gave me the "trial size bags and money back" deal as well.
I didn't try the others simply because they weren't brands I could find on Amazon...if anyone out there gets food shipped to an APO address, let me know what website you order from!!!

Harper16 · 11-28-2011, 01:48 PM

so much for Natural balance...his highness will not touch it now, and BB is barely to his liking. I don't know what to do with this picky puppy!

lilrevdeb · 12-15-2011, 08:53 AM

Thanks for posting a great list!

That's funny!

That was very nice of them though.

I am mixing the dry with wet food. I use the Acana grasslands and mix with the Weruva wet food. It is rated as a 5 star and is fit for human consumption. It looks like shredded chicken. They now have organic as well. Akila eates her food in record time. She is such a picky eater. So far this is working.
