Taste of the Wild
I previously wrote about Canidae because that is what I now feed Gibson. Its really about the Diamond plant in South Carolina more than the food itself. I had heard that they were not shipping anything from the South Carolina plant but didn't know if Canidae is from that plant or not. I know a lot...

So what are people switching to?
Just wondering what foods everyone was switching too since the Diamond recalls. We'd been feeding 4Health here, and our current bag was not in recall (though looking back I have some suspicions of the 1 before), but I really don't real comfortable continuing with that. Which stinks since it was...

Wellness or Bluebuff?
I have decided to switch from Proplan to something with better ingredients. What is everyone's experience with Wellness Just for Puppy and BlueBuff chicken and rice? I'm assuming it comes down to the dog's preference but I would like some additional opinions.

Raw Oyster and Maitake mushroom
today is "veggie mush" prep day. I found fresh oyster mushroom and fresh maitake mushroom in the local fruit stand. I've been using fresh raw shiitake mushroom to the veggie mush forever but I've not used oyster or maitake. Prancer's veggie mush is all raw (pureed) berries and veggies...

Question about food
Wondered if anyone knew how this worked where different food companies are being made at the Diamond plant. With the Diamond Lamb and Rice Recall and the temporary closing of the SC plant, I have been reading a lot but got to thinking. Taste of the Wild is made by Diamond, thus its a Diamond food...

Raw-Feeding Sources in Southern ID/Northern UT?
I've decided that I'm going to attempt raw-feeding after I find a job and a permanent place to live. But I need advice. Lots of it. Where can I get good cheap meat in southern Idaho/Northern Utah? Same goes for a good vet that will actually work with me on raw-feeding rather than try to sell...

High protein dog food
So the vet wants Astra on a high protein diet, low carb diet. We've been trying, unsuccessfully, to get some weight off of her. I've increased her exercise, reduced her food portions, added green beans, cut out all treats, etc. So what brands of dog food would you recommend??

What do you add to your dog's dry food, suggestions?
I would like to add to Ava's dry food, she is on Wellness. I've tried a few, Nutriss, by Rachel Ray and also the one by Purina, both make her stools a bit runny and I don't like that. I only put about tablespoon on and then add a bit of water, she likes both. Any suggestions? She will not...

Raw meat
when we acquired Thor I always fed him dry dog food since that was what he had had for the previous 8 years with his other owner. I started, very occasionally and when it was on offer at the supermarket, to introduce raw liver and kidney minced finely (mixed in with the dry food) and he loves it. His...
