[nagdu] blueberries and milk bones

[Hannah Chadwick]

Mark,
For some reason I think milk bones don't agree with Princess. I don't know
why and it doesn't seem to me that it should effect her, but it does.
She's been eating science diet all of her life and so do all the dogs at
Pilot. I am thinking about switching foods though because a lot of my
friends who have dogs suggest taste of the wild. Right now, I would like her
to finish the huge bag of science diet I purchased for her when we got home.

I don't know about whole blueberries, however, some dog food contains
blueberries. Also, milk bones should not make the dog sick.



Also, I would look into switching to a different dog food. Science diet is 
extremely rich on the dog's stomach, and that could be part of the problem. 
However, not being there, I can not say for certin.
