Hi Janine,
Of course,you did gradually introduce the new kibble, so your dogs didn’t get diarrhea?

True for some dogs however mine is diabetic and therefore requires high protein with minimal to no grains(carbs) unfortunately some of us require no grain food with carbs coming from low GI ingredients like legumes and sweet potato

There is increasing amounts of misinformation as a result of an FDA investigation instigated by a veterinarian on the payroll of multiple pet food conglomerates which was subsequently dropped due to inconclusive information…

Please don’t buy grain free diets people. It is extremely rare for dogs to have gastrointestinal or skin allergies triggered by grain. There is increasing evidence that grain free diets may be linked to the development of heart disease in dogs. I think it is immoral for purina/ optimum/ Blackhawk to be cashing in on this marketing trend. There is no scientifically proved benefit to feeding your dog a grain free diet. (Informed opinion).

Hi Roger, there’s some suggestions which may help here – it’s a list of dog foods more affordable than those on the best rated list (which doesn’t take cost into consideration).

I was hoping this was it but it appears not !

The thing is people see these vets on TV & think, Gee this food must be really good Dr Brown or Dr Harry recomends this food, my dog will behealthy, I know I thought this when I first rescued Patch 5 yrs ago, Optimum was more expensive then the other supermarket foods so I bought it thinking its really good but Patch kept having sloppy poos on the grain Optimum, as the years went by I’ve learn’t all the tricks Pet Food Companies use to get customers to buy their bad food… If you were to ask Dr Chris Brown what does he feed his cat it will be raw & ask Dr Harry does he feed Supercoat & the answer will be NO they both probably feed a raw diet to thier pets…. I think Dr Harry isn’t on the Purina Supercoat no more………

Aww give the guy a break, chances are his contract is limited to just letting them use his image. To take questions he’d probably need to cancel his manicure, negotiate a new fee for these additional services and go find out what’s in the stuff first!

I was disappointed to see Dr. Harry also has his face on some crappy food, since he’s supposedly a decent sort of person. It seems these guys just can’t resist when someone offers them a pile of cash 🙁
