[nagdu] Dog food recommendations

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Tracy,

Canidae is that other brand name I keep trying to remember!  I considered
that way back, too, and it is good stuff.  Can't remember why I chose
Wellness, then Evo (Inova makes that, I think).

With the recall of the Natural Balance whatever whatever formula, we're
considering a switch and I've been wracking my brains to remember the stuff
I already looked into and put on the approved list.

Thanks!

Tami Smith-Kinney

Hi Liz.
I am feeding Canidae for All Life Stages.  It has a mix of meats of high
enough quality for human consumption.  Most grocery store dogfoods have
much lower-quality meat.  Also, the meats are the first few ingredients,
which is also not always true of grocery store brands.
Canidae has chicken, turkey, lamb and fish, plus rice and a lot of fruit
and veg.  It doesn't have any dairy, which is why I chose it.  My old Gal
Echo seems to have trouble digesting dairy.

It costs me about $23 for 35 pounds, not counting shipping, so it's more
expensive than store-bought.  On the other hand, could I feed myself on a
couple dollars a day?  Not likely!

I'm really happy to be able to give my dogs a high-quality food.  They are
both healthy, with no allergy problems.  Echo is 15 now!  Did the
high-quality food help her live longer?  I don't know, but I'm sure it
didn't hurt.
