Getting Ready to Switch to Natural Dog Food

 I am sorry for the loss of your dog. Run free little scottie.

Food is a very sensitive subject. Doing research is good but I would caution you to go with your dogs well being, on whatever food works for them, over what other people feel you should be feeding. These are your dogs, do what is right for them, not what the popular opinion wants you to do.

IMO, the high end brands are over hyped, over rated and very over priced. They are not necessarily better for the dog as they are for the company bottom line.

Purina has been around for ages, I used Pro Plan for sensitive skin and stomach with good results. Diamond has an iffy reputation due to a huge food recall, mostly in canned food but I used their Taste of the Wild. Natural Balance is what I currently use. Buffalo and Sweet potato to be exact.

Each one of those product moved me closer to helping my allergy dog. We went from severe allergies to lessened over a year or more. The current food is a LID..limited ingredient diet. My biggest challenge was finding a food with no flaxseed. I strongly suspect that this was a by-culprit, along with corn, in my dogs allergies.

Good luck with your search.

Thank you so much for your reply, I will look into the recall products of Diamond, since it is back on the store shelves I have to believe the company fixed the problem, but I am in total agreeance with you in that it is about our dogs. Our scottie boy Clyde is having itchy itcher's lately. He is allergic to fleas but he is on Frontline Plus and has had no issues with fleas, we are getting his thyroid tested as well. But I have a suspicion that it is going to be a food allergy.
