catesta Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 I still have my dog on the same dry Iams she has always been eating, but I'm taking her in for an exam this week and going to see if I should change. I have no problem making the meals myself. Quote
J Larsen Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 This company seems pretty good to me: http://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/ The wet food is a bit pricet compared to other brands ($1/can in my neighbborhood). Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 Any dog owners wanting our dinner recipe, feel free to PM. Coltrane and Gracie have really thrived on it. Quote
porcy62 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) When I was a boy, we had something like seven dogs and an innacurate number of cats. My mom used to get from our butcher all the spare parts of meat and bought big sacks of rice for their meals. Cheaper and healthier then pet food. edit: spare and old bread is fine too. At least for the countries that consume a lot of bread, like Italy or France. Edited March 25, 2007 by porcy62 Quote
(BB) Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 We (really the wife part of we) also make our food. It not that hard to do once you get a big bowl for mixing. Otto our 60lb standard poodle, stares at his bowl and drools while being served, once given the green light he eats it up in seconds flat. He had been having a problem keeping his food down, and this solved that problem. For cheap meat we are able to get recently expired meat, and never had an issue. Quote
catesta Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 I took my dog in today for an exam that included fecal and blood tests. Not that I was really worried but she did have the shits over the weekend and that is a rarity. They wanted a urine sample but she wouldn't go, now I have a sample cup and need to try and collect it. Don't have the results on the blood test yet but everything else was fine. Expensive visit to the Vet but I feel better knowing the only problem she has is being an occasional pain in the ass. Quote
kulu se mama Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 good luck to everyone. we had blood tests done on both of our dogs last monday. they both came out okay. we fed both of them iams, nutro, and eukanuba at various times over the last 3 months. it will be dry only from now on. Quote

catesta Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 They wanted a urine sample but she wouldn't go, now I have a sample cup and need to try and collect it. You don't know the half of it. The Doctor actually showed me different ways I could try and intercept the stream. No way it's gonna happen. Chihuahuas are very shy when doing their business. Quote
