My pitbull currently eats a certain kind of dry dog food. That said, I want to switch my dogs food to a more organic and higher quality dry dog food.
What is the proper routine/process to introduce the new dry food and how long is the process/routine?
I have a 5 yr old Boxer who has skin problems (hot spots, bumps, rashes, etc) I currently feed him Calf. Natural dry food and was thinking of switching to a raw food diet. I know it’s more money, but will it help with his skin probs? I have been to a pet allergist already and they seem to think it’s an allergy to chicken, but who knows. Could not give a def. answer for 0! Thanks
My Border Collie is 11 months old and a bit small for her size due to being mistreated by the person she was rescued from. She does not eat very much at all. I give her one cup of high quality dry food (Purina Pro Plan Selects for puppy) with a small scoop of wet food (Newman’s Own Organic dog food) every night and she usually only eats a small portion of it. She weighs 30lbs. How much SHOULD she be eating?
I have two Lab puppies 4 wks old. They have been eating Esbilac formula. Should I go to Esbilac 2nd Step Formula? Or should I start them on a dry food for puppies and mix water? Also when they do start dry food should they have regular puppy food or large breed puppy food? Would you recommend Blue Buffalo?
My oldest cat in the house is now 7 years old. I have 4 indoors right now. Up until about 6 months ago, they ate purina cat chow. After doing my homework and realizing how bad there food was and dry on top of it I changed. I changed to innova dry food and they were having no parts of it and actually my one cat landed in the emergency hospital because of it. To rich I guess. I switced to wellness wet food. Than I switched to chicken soup lite cause I wanted less of a calorie intake for them. As soon as I heard about the second recall I witched to innova wet food. Cats did well, gained weight again 
and than decided to go off there food. Bored I guess so as frustrated as I am, I said F-it and bought there old wet food to just get them eating again which is Friskies. They begin eating but one. As soon as my one sensitive cat smells wet food he runs. I just took him to the vets and hes fine. I gave him a handful of very bad dry fod for the cats outside and he ate it.
He wants dry food. Do you think my cats want there crappy food back cause they are so used to it there whole lives. They have all been with me since birth. Should I go back??? Remember good dry put my cat in the hospital and this was all gradual changes, I’m not dumb. I’m sick of all these changes and so are they. I want whats best for them even though I know there old food wasnt but least they ate everyday
I have been flirting with the idea of making my dog homemade food and mixing it with his dry food. I have been buying wet food and mixing it with his dry food but the price of buying both is going up. What are your thoughts about this? I want to make sure that he is getting all of the nutrients that are needed in his daily diet.
I understand the importance of canned food but I have one cat who absolutely refuses it and the other will only eat small amounts. ( I feed him Merrick and Wellness)
I also tried Raw food by Healthy Paws but no luck!
As for dry food..
My cats hate Wellness Core which I tried switching them to this week.
They like Iams Healthy Naturals they are currently on but I don’t feel good about feeding them this. ( any thoughts on this food)?
I have other kinds of dry foods I’m willing to try but wanted feedback first before I go out shopping.
I have a pet store near me called Global Pet Foods that sells these brands.
If you had to buy one of these dry foods,
What would you choose?
What would you NOT choose?
-Innova Evo
-Wellness – Complete Health (taste different than CORE)?
-Fromm
-California Naturals
-Royal Canin -
-Natural Balance
- Solid Gold
-Eagle Pack (vet not happy when I mentioned this brand)
And ofcourse you all know what our vet recommended!
My dog only eats dry dog food, but I thought he might like it if he had some wet food today, but my dad said it might make him sick as he only eats dry food.
I don’t want to switch I just wanted to give him a little bit of it.
My cats are being really finicky about their dry food…does anyone have any suggestions about dry cat food that your cats really like?
In a dry food ingredient i was reading that it has ground whole wheat and Corn Gluten… is that ok?
It is in the dry cat food, Natural Life
As my dog has aged, she has since stopped liking to eat any of the dry food we give her. We have tried adding pumpkin (something our vet suggested) to adding her favorite fruit apples but it doesn’t seem to work. Whenever we feed her either homemade or store-bought wet food she eats it right away. I have a lot of dry food left over. I read that if you add hot water to dry dog food it becomes almost the same thing as store wet food. Will this work? Any other suggestions?
We used to feed him dry food (Iams) until my 11 year old cat started vomiting almost every day. Now we feed him moist food (Whiskas ?) but I need to find a cat food that does not make him hungry every 4 hours. This stuff seems to not fill his stomach for long.
He is healthy and young Pomeranian(1 yr), but he either diarrhea or vomits up most everything he eats. I have changes dog foods many times, which I really don’t want to do anymore, I know that is not good for him either. Also I have tried making him food, like eggs/ham/rice…and that seemed to agree with him a little more, but not great. I just need a great healthy preferably softer dry food that is good for him! thanks!
I plan on getting a cat in a few weeks and would like to know everything i can before then. This is a regular sized cat, not too fat, not too skinny. Maybe roughly 10lbs. So how much canned food should I give her? Is it okay to alternate between canned and dry food? If so, how much dry food should she eat?
I adopted two 8 week old kittens from the shelter on Thursday night. A beautiful male and his gorgeous little sister. By Friday morning they were both sneezing so I took them to the vet immediately. The little boy was sicker than the other as he also had watery eyes and a fever. The vet did tests for Feline Leukemia on both and they were negative. Phew! She sent me home with Clamavox and some deworming medication. They are both eating medi-cal development dry food and drink a lot of water. Today the boy is very congested and is open-mouth breathing sometimes. I am cleaning their noses and eyes with warm water and take them to my steamed up bathroom for a few minutes when he is very congested. Should I be doing anything else to help them? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi!
I took the kitties to Vet Emergency Clinic and they told me I was just being paranoid.
Baby boy was just congested and I needed to give the meds time to work. Today they are both doing well and should probably be 100% by the weekend. So most of you guys were right. Thank you for your responses and kind words.
