Natures Recipe
Hi John,
I believe my sister has fed her dog California Natural, Innova and Wysong. I'll ask her which one she's using now. Here's their websites: http://www.naturapet.com/display.php?d=home-tab http://www.wysong.net/ Thanks Paws JW |

I believe your prediction has come true! My dog loves it and has no
problems. Cue music and grab your bucket of popcorn. |

I still watch her dog when she is out of town and continue to be interested in feeding her a good food. if it's your sister's dog, why would you worry about what to feed her? Because she asked me to look into it for her. That ok with you? |

It's very easy to look back on google groups archives! Takes only a
couple minutes. |

I have cats but my sister has dogs and she had the same experience. What does your sister use now? Dog in question is on Science Diet Puppy right now. That is not agreeing with her stomach occasionally and she has some skin flaking. My dog (her brother) is on Science Diet Puppy also. He has a nice coat and soft skin and no stomach problems. jw John, from my point of view - "if it isn't broke don't fix it, if it is broke, you need to fix it". If the puppy product isn't working - regardless of brand, then it's time to find out why. I didn't catch the age or the breed so it's hard to make suggestions. Assuming that the vet has determined there are no medical issues and the puppy isn't getting into something it shouldn't - the cats food, the garbage, the neighbors garbage etc, then it's time to find a solution. If this is a small to medium breed and it's 9 months old, you might try moving to other adult foods. If it's a large breed - that's not an option. |

I agree, The dog in question is a long coat Chihuahua puppy 18 mo old around 3.5 lbs or so. My dog (her brother) is on Science Diet and is fine. Something in the Sci Diet Puppy is not agreeing with her. Corn maybe? Who knows. Puppy isn't getting into anything. He is retired and with her all day and she goes in the crate at night. His vet says to try another food but didn't suggest any particular kind. My buddy has talked to several folks. He called me today asking about California Natural, Innova, and Wellness. I looked at all the ingredients and none have corn. I don't know which one to tell him to try. Any recommendations by you or anyone else is appreciated. jw 18 months ???? This is not a puppy any more and should _not_ be fed a puppy food. I'm not real surprised that there is some tummy upset - the fat levels are just too high for an adult dog. At this age and assuming an otherwise clean bill of health I would suggest Sensitive Stomach. The nice thing about Chi's is they don't have too many problems and they live virtually forever. I doubt corn is the issue - that's really rare, despite internet mythology to the contrary. With chi's, teeth and tartar can be a problem so you might try a diet specifically designed for oral health - there are a number of them on the market and they won't have the high levels of fat that are in puppy foods. Experiment around a bit and see what works - I know that's kind of hard since even a very small bag would last a tiny dog like this for weeks :-)) |
