Bad dogfood again

Posted : 2/9/2011 7:47:40 AM

Last month I took our cat's food back to store, it was bad, had white stuff all over it. (Eaglepack Holistic) last evening again I gave Bonnie her dogfood, she has not eaten any of it for a week, only eats the chicken I put on the top of it. I poured some out of the bag and it was bad also, stuff actually sprouting out of it, I'm taking it back to store again today, and no it was not out of date on the bag. Have no idea what I'll have to feed them now. Makes me sick as it is hard to get Bonnie to eat now anyway. Anyone else had a problem with this stuff lately better check it before you feed it.

I'm sorry to hear of your experience with this dog food. Upon reading your other thread, it seems that Bonnie has a congenital kidney problem. Compromised kidney function will cause inappetance, as you are experiencing. Feeding a fresh diet will help greatly. Here are a few helpful sites for dealing with kidney issues: http://www.dogaware.com/health/kidney.html and: http://www.b-naturals.com/newsletter/kidney-diet/

We had our girl on a home-cooked and raw diet combo formulated by her vet, and she did great on it---supplements helped greatly, as well. The most important thing to watch in the diet is the amout of phopshorus--you must limit the phosphorus intake, and be sure to feed good quality protein, as well. You may want to schedule a consult with a nutritionist----I know that Monica Segal is a good choice as is Sabine with BetterDogCare----you may want to check out their websites.

Good luck with BonnieBlue, and may she have many more years with you.
