Dog food

I wouldn't know about a shiny coat, but I have heard that eggs can be good for the skin, so why not the coat too! My mom believes that an egg or two occasionally is good. I give my dogs Salmon Oil and Cod Liver Oil, which helped Rico's skin look much better. When I reduced the amount of the oils in his diet he looked duller and dryer than he did when he had the full dose of it.

Just so everyone knows I won't stoop to Kayz level. I won't go attacking her anymore. I've said my piece and I stand my ground on Purina. My dogs ROCK on it and if you'd like to know more, see how Kayz REALLY is when it comes to "not attacking people" then look back a few pages. Anything having to do REMOTELY with dog food we're there, battling it out. Some of our "non-attacks" have been locked even so they're easy enough to find. Gang, feed what you want. Feed what YOU as individuals believe in. We all have our own preferences and opinions AND budgets. Just so you know and don't waste your fingers--Don't try and argue with Kayz on dog food. It's like talking to a wall. You'll get yourselves all worked up and honestly it's NOT worth it. I learned that after hours of fighting with her. It was like fighting with my children and just as productive...on 2nd thought I get FURTHER with my children. Hmmmm...Anyway you all feed what you will and let Kayz live in her little "Kayz always right, everyone else is wrong" type of world. She's happier there and it keeps her out of our REAL world. Take care and may all your animals be safe and sound and well fed tonight.

i have 2 anatolain shepherds and a keeshond chow mix. they all eat purina sensitive skin and stomach pro plan dry food and merricks canned food. once in awhile i will throw in a bag of natural balance or merricks dry food in with their purina.

People have a right to their opinion. And if their dog is doing fine on one food, good for them. If you feed something else with good results--then good for you. But attacking a person's choice of feeding shows a great lack of respect for differing opinions!! And as other's have said--at least people ARE feeding their dogs and taking notice of the results. And many of the Holistic posts are not as accurate as you may think. Even the description "holistic" as beeen questioned on other websites.

You'll have your loved one even longer in the end, judging by that statement all my pets should have been dead far longer then they actually did die. lets see...i had a golden lab mix who lived to 15 1/2 yrs of age....he started out eating science diet. then he was fed purina one then ate for the last 6 years of his life iams adult dog food. i had 2 cats who started out eating friskies or meaow mix and then were switched to purina one and both cats lived to be 19 years of age. the cat my mother in law had ate purina one while she lived with us then when she went to live with my MIL permanently she ate deli cat and lived to 18 years of age. one commonality between all of them ?......they all ate purina at some point in their lives and ALL lived well beyond a normal lifespan. would i ever feed deli cat or friskies to any of my cats now ? NO.....but i would feed them purina one again for sure. the cats i have now i have to feed a prescription diet to because my male will continually block on the food he was eating before. wanna know what that food was ? WELLNESS !!! so my pets get fed what they do well on and so far i have had success

That is GREAT! Sorry for the deaths of your animals but they for sure got more than their lifes worth out of theirs! This is what I've been saying all along! No Purina is NOT a holistic food. BUT animals get along just fine and dandy on it. There ARE other foods out there and they DO live long and HEALTHY lives on it. This is just one of millions of cases that proves it! YAY! Maybe my animals will follow your lead and live to 18! Please, please, please!

Yes, yes, yes! Cooking for your dogs, (fresh meat, veggies, eggs, occasional rice, I think) is the best way to go! (I also add plenty of dry food, Solid Gold) Dogs thrive when they are fed naturally and their coats are beautiful! I can say, I have to italian greyhounds...

Kazy only came back to revive a dead post--that no one was interested in to start with -as she was the one who started it. She has he own "talk forum" and she does not stir up trouble there (maybe because no one will send donations as she requests to keep it open) she comes here to insult people. Frankly, I just think she wants attention--any attention, good or bad.

Maybe that's because everyone there knows good food, therefore there's no reason to squabble? I really think everyone should buy at least ONE bag of premium dog food and then they can decide if the lower-quality stuff is still as great as they think. It's pointless to fight about something when you haven't experienced both sides. My own pets did great (or so I thought) on the grocery store brands, then I tried Nutro and they all improved dramatically. Now I don't give junk food a second's thought.

Here, have a brandy - met ys! (With ice) Although you probably have enough ice. Alaska, wow! Is it nice to live there? Seen lots of pics and stuff - it's beautiful! I also like Purina. At the moment I use Pedigree but am thinking of switching either to Purina or Royal Canin - reason is the same as yours: all the other food these guys talk about aren't available in South Africa! But I do like Purina and have heard lots of good things from friends feeding it to their pets. Hope you feel beter and not anymore!
