Well this story starts about 5 years ago. I had been feeding Premium Edge which I really liked for several of those years but I guess that the plant that it is made in also produces the cheaper Diamond food brands and there is speculation whether there was melimine(sp) in the food. This highers the protein content and was also the culprit in several baby deaths a few years ago as some had gotten in (Nestle, I believe) baby formula.
Cannidae all life stages is also produced in the same plant so no one can be certain if any "gets into" the food.
Taste of the Wild is also made by Diamond Foods but not in the same plant and so it is good. Of coarse you won't see this on the newa but thanks to MyCorgi you find out things like this. Ifeed mine a handful 3 times a day and they seem satisfied. For some reason when I tried the Chicken Soup I always felt they wanted more....can't explain why.
There was just a discussion on dog treats and this same chemical came up with buying treat not made in the USA. I couldn't find it though.
Stay on a lower protein till at least 18 months. The lagre breed would be what I suggest and then switch. Sage is 15 months and I will keep her on the lower protein till at least then:) Thjen higher is good but Sage is still growing or should I say "filling out".
Actually Chicken Soup is a good brand and so if she likes it I would keep her on it. I would put her on the large puppy breed if they have it. I tried it with mine and they liked it but I felt like I had to feed them more...not sure why but they seemed more hungry.
Hi! I recommend Taste of the Wild. (Sorry I don't remember what Hana is getting) and either the Sierra Mountain cannine or the salmon because she still needs the lower protein. What is nice about this is that she never has to switch foods (because it's all life stages) but when she reaches 18 months she can have the other 3 kinds also. This is grain free and I feed all of mine 1/2 cup 3 times a day. So 1 1/2 cups. I trade off mine and thery love every flavor.
You might be able to find some samples at the pet store...sometimes we have them at ours.
Let me know if you don't want this and I can suggest a couple others.
Congratulations Hana...if you were as good in class as bella you human momma should be proud!
I will let you know about Ren Fest next year that would be great and maybe Artemis and her family could meet us too! we could have a Ren Fest family reunion!
I only use flea meds if they get fleas which is maybe every 3 years if that often. I have used it occasionally if they have ticks bad but I use it one time as it works for 30 days. I just use frontline and haven't had a problem with it. I figure the least amount of pesticides the better....for us too! Heartworm I give until Nov. or so then I quite till April or so. I know they want to sell it but thats another chemical they need!
Aww Hana is a cutie :) She does look a LOT like our Artemis! Bet they are sisters! Artemis' former name was Topaz though and her momma was Bella & Dad was Wynn! Maybe we should have a family reunion sometime!
