13 weeks later Solid Gold responds.....
Back in September my dog got sick from Solid Gold's "Just A Wee Bit" kibble when he had not had any problems previously with Solid Gold kibbles for six years. I had posted how I e-mailed, phoned, and wrote a letter, and received no response. I received an e-mail on Wednesday from Solid...

Not sure how to title this.....=P
Ok, so I'm slowly adding home-made things to Sam's food. I need a list of good foods, and how to prepare it. I don't care if the list is a mile long, or you send me to 500000 links. I just need to know whats good for him =] Ohhh.... And, how do I prepare eggshells?

Kibble with the least plant matter.
I want to give Kane a little something for breakfast and I'm wondering which kibble had the least amount of plant material to minimize the jumbo poop that kibble tends to produce.

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/canidae.html I just found this link at another forum and wondered if anyone else is having problems. I don't feed this food but thought those who do might want to read it.

Soft food ideas?
OK, I'm desperate, please help. As some of you may have gathered, DH had surgery on his jaw this week. Long story as to why and if I tell it here, most people will not even want to think about food. But, he can't chew...at ALL. He thought he'd be able to, the doctor's said he'd be...
