I recently put the dawg on this http://www.naturesvariety.com/
Expensive as heck - but I swear I can actually already tell a difference in the old man!

Fish and Chips for dogs...whoda thunk it.

That's the ONLY food Mily tolerates. I tried the $50 a bag raw food from clippers with terrible results.

But it's not needed..that's the point. There's a lot of unnecessary stuff in that food. Ever tried California Natural? Not many ingredients.


And Jet, fish is terribly gassy for dogs.

And what's not needed gets passed along. I learned that in anatomy or biology or something. Whatever your body doesn't need comes out in your waste. The food is nutritionally sound, she likes it and it's the only thing I've found that has consistanly kept her allergies/intollerances in check. If it's not harming her and she's getting the proper nutrition I don't see the big deal.

This is what I had her on last...

It worked for a few months. Poop was not terribly loose but not what I consider "firm" either and gradually she became intollerant to it and the poop got looser, ears and breath stunk and her belly was inflammed.

She is a dog with true allergies and intollerances. She has inhalent allergies, a flea allergy, bee allergy and the list goes on.

When I find something that works I stick with it.

I see why you like Dr Smith and company. They are just as contradictory to themselves as you are.

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble...so the excess is actually stored, which can be harmful. If it was a water-soluble vitamin, it would be passed.

Ok that's it.. I am calling all of your vets...

I didn't contradict myself at all.... You just have a reading comp problem... There's a difference between nutritionally sound with additional ingredients than not nutritionally sound with potentialy allergic ingredients.

But spin it your way if it makes you feel better.

Exactly. The synthetic Vit K is a
