I recently adopted a dog from a local shelter and they gave me a big box of food – no labels or anything. After it ran out I changed him over to pedigree and he has had nothing but runny **** since. I contacted the shelter and they said that they get food donated all the time and have no way of knowing what it was that we were given. They were little round, flat bits of food. They were very compact… I mean that there was not much dust at the bottom of the bag. That leads me to believe it was a good brand of food such as Science Diet. I would run out to the vets to see what Science Diet looks like, but the vet is a money grubbing pig and would probably charge me $55 for an office visit!
How about Iams? What does that look like?

I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog……..
Duh!!
I was feeling a bit crabby so on impulse I told her no, I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn’t because I’d ended up in the hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care unit with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV’s in both arms.
Her eyes about bugged out of her head. I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works is to load your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The package said the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try
it again.
I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy behind her.
Horrified, she asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the hospital.
I said no…..I’d been sitting in the street licking my **** when a car hit me.

I’ve be transitioning to Primal Dog Food patties. So far there have been no problems but I’m not convinced that raw is the right diet.

My dog is a pom-chi (pomeranian chihuahua) and is supposed to be about 11 pounds as per the vet and is about 14-15. That’s only a few pounds, but it’s not good for a small dog. I don’t want him to get too overweight and have his joints affected. Especially since he runs and jumps all over the place without fear.
He is also beyond picky and kind of refuses to eat dry food.

My Husband and I have a 7 month old Jack Russell Terrier/ Border Collie mix puppy who gets lots of activity! We’ve been feeding him a mix of wet and dry Iams puppy food but noticed that he would frequently have diarrhea. I used to work at a pharmacy that sold Science Diet to customers whose vets had prescribed it and they had great things to say about it so on our last trip to the pet store we picked some up to try. But now that I’ve read some reviews here I am having second thoughts. Is Science Diet really that bad? What makes it so bad. We are first time dog owners and just started feeding him what they recommended at the pets store, but now we want to make sure that he gets everything he needs. He seems to like the Science Diet much better, but we want to make sure that it’s good for him too. Your opinions and recommendations would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!
