I feed Wilson Nutro Max mini-chunk with 1 tablespoon of canned. Wilson has really bad teeth and I wanted a kibble that was teeny tiny and easy for him to eat.

I've been rotating between Wellness, Inova, and Merrick canned food. I leave Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover's Soul kibble out for her all day, but she doesn't eat much. I also add whatever cooked veggies I make for my own dinner and she gets fruit for desert.

As most of you know, I feed Teddy naturally - but about a month ago I was in the Pet Smart when I ran into the rep for Blue - foods and treats and asked him a couple of questions.

I had tried to get emergency food for Teddy in case something happens and my daughter cannot cook for him...I picked a brand that I have researched for treats and that Teddy is not allergic to....when I got it home (remember I can't stand for long) I read that even though they were labeled natural lamb - they had chicken and beef in the ingrediates. Now this is nice and it was actually the real thing - but in my opinion a mistake to clasify something as lamb and rice if it contains other meats.

Anyway, I talked to the guy from Blue and he showed me the ingrediants.....wow - they were great so I tried the canned with Teddy and he loves it. Now I don't worry about a day when I cannot cook for him. I am putting the link here but I can say since this does not show the product - I actually see the food it should be in the product - potatoes or carrot or veggies. Teddy is used to getting natural food so this was important to me.

I use Merrick and Prairie and like each equally. I add a little canned Merrick ever since I got the dozen cans FREE with their promo. I had to buy the 30 lb. bag, but can use it pretty quickly with my 3 maltese and sheltie. I only get out a couple of lbs. at a time and keep it in a tupperware container so it will stay fresh longer.

Both my girls are on Innova right now. They seem to like it ok. I don't think they LOVE LOVE it. I must say they sure don't poop as much. Summer likes boiled turkey, lamb chops or roasted chicken the best. Really she would eat anything I ate.. But I too worry about when I'm gone who will feed her the way I do

So its important to fined a dog food she will eat. So for now were on the Innova. I'm going to try the EVO heard some good things about it to..

**Brooks** · 11-11-2005, 11:22 AM

Does anyone have anything bad to say about Innova or Wellness?
I have to get Tucker more food tonight and I'm taking him off Eukanuba (which, thanks to you guys, I learned is not very good for him)

I know he really loves the taste of Benefactor (I think that what it's call). Is this brand ok?

blah...Confused

I've been told by a lot of people that raise dogs for over 30 years that Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul is really good FOR them. A lot of the things that they seem to LIKE to eat may not be the BEST for them. Most foods out there will taste really good to them, but that is what they call "junk food" for dogs. It is not nutricious, therefore they go #2 a lot more because all that junk filters out of their system quicker because it has no real content. I hope this makes sense. The lady I know that feeds all her 11 Maltese that have lovely coats and are the healthiest bunch. I am going to have to try a bag next week to see for myself. =]
