Addiction Kangaroo and Apple

• Addiction Kangaroo and Apple DeAnna Haase Posted : 9/27/2006 10:42:46 AM Has anyone tried this? We just got it in at the shop and were talking about the ingredient list. I'm not really sure what I think of sorgham in dog food yet..and I don't care for the fact that it just says "rice". I decided to take a small bag home and see what my dogs think....not one of them would touch it. I was shocked to say the least..they are not picky generally. We have had their canned products for a while and the dogs think those are ok..but again not thrilled. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it?

• brookcove Posted : 9/27/2006 11:31:55 AM I've heard of this food and if I could get it reasonably (ie, didn't have to pay shipping) I'd be all over some of those canned recipes. I'm always worried about Ben's increasingly narrow food choices. I'd love to find a kangaroo food like this that didn't include grains. Oh well. I remain totally green with envy at your job, working at this shop! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• DeAnna Haase Posted : 9/27/2006 11:50:29 AM I do love my job! I'm very excited because I just found out that a very respected Holistic practitioner is going to do a series of educational seminars at our shop for our customers. One a month for 6 months. Much to learn from this lady! My cats love the canned addiction..but like I said, my dogs just don't care for it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• brookcove Posted : 9/27/2006 12:23:06 PM I think sorghum is an aquired taste. I suspect they include the apple, not because of the "digestive properties" (which do exist, I eat an apple or two every day to keep my IBS at a dull roar), but because the flavor would disguise the sorghum. Depending on what kind they use, the grains can be high in tannins. Some types of sorghum are sweet, but have what I'd call a planty version of a game-y flavor (I guess that's the tannin). I used to experiment with different grains to include in my breakfast mixture and sorghum (milo) was definitely not one of the winners for my gang! Too bad since it's low in gluten and high in energy. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• corvus Posted : 9/27/2006 6:07:27 PM I don't much hold with sorghum in pet foods, either. My hare won't eat the stuff, so I think, if he doesn't want to touch it, what makes people think it'll be good for dogs? It's not much better than corn, really. My hare hates corn, too. Can you get kangaroo mince over there at all? Obviously, it's pretty easy to get over here and it's a great choice because it's very lean. It's also pretty cheap. I have no idea if we export that kind of thing, though. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• brookcove Posted : 9/27/2006 6:25:53 PM Sadly we can't get it at a price that makes it worth while. Wouldn't that be great! I think y'all down under should really export less lamb (give us American producers a better shot at the market) and more kangaroo! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 9/27/2006 6:53:40 PM My hare won't eat the stuff, so I think, if he doesn't want to touch it, what makes people think it'll be good for dogs? I I'm drooling over your hare! He's gorgeous! Is he pretty much the same as a pet rabbit? I've never heard of anyone keeping a hare, for a pet. They may be illegal, here. Everything is illegal, in this state. I've never seen Addiction, in stores. I'd like to try the canned foods, too.

• DeAnna Haase Posted : 9/28/2006 12:42:58 PM I just went to their web site...the ad is gross! LOL, a woman posed like she is about to take a bite of the canned. I have opened several cans of the food and it would be a cold day before I would put that in my mouth!   I also noticed that it is only available online and in Hawaii, Oregon and Washington! I had no idea. Probably why nobody here has tried it eh? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• brookcove Posted : 9/28/2006 1:24:50 PM And you can only get a few of the canned varieties and not the kibble online, apparently (I was in a hurry and didn't delve too deeply).  Can you get it through Pet Food Driect or something? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I think y'all down under should really export less lamb (give us American producers a better shot at the market) and more kangaroo! Me too! Aside from that, kangaroos are vastly better for our delicate soils than sheep. And they do better in droughts. There's been a bit of a push lately to improve the face of the industry and improve the market. I'd love to see Australian farmers largely abandon hoofed animals and go for roos instead. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sandra_slayton Posted : 9/30/2006 10:10:20 AM Your hare looks just about like a Texas Jack rabbit. Years ago when we use to quail hunt, our English setters and and point could jump a cottontail and they would totally ignore it.  But if they jumped a jack rabbit, they would chase it to the next state!  And jack rabbits really are hares.   I use to have to mini lop earred rabbit named Mr. Rabbit.  I had him 10 years and he was just the sweetest thing.  In his old age he got arthritis and couldn't really scratch his ears, etc.  Also couldn't groom himself like he like to.  I would give him baths in warm water and it felt so good to him he would go to sleep.  I had to pu my hand under his chin so his little face didn't drop down into the water when he fell alseep during his bath..  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• corvus Posted : 9/30/2006 5:41:37 PM That's adorable. [] I loved the jackrabbits I saw in America and Mexico when I was there a few months ago. So much like my Kit! In Mexico they call them "running ears", which I just thought was so appropriate. Hares and rabbits are quite different in their lifestyle and typical responses. Rabbits dash underground the moment there's trouble, but hares just take off and don't stop running until they feel safe again. This is a problem when you have a hare in a small room. [:'(] Kit's learnt to curb his natural tendencies to panic and blindly run, but it's not pretty when he forgets. Needless to say, I'm not getting any hunting dogs until I no longer have a hare in the house.
